Chapter 19: Extras walk hand in hand with the lost protagonist.

Black hat, black mask, and even sunglasses to cover her eyes.

Baek Ahra’s appearance from afar was such that anyone would immediately report her as a suspicious person.

Thanks to her pretty, sparkling silver hair and her unique atmosphere, the people around her just glanced at her and disappeared, but if a male ajusshi was wearing that outfit and acting suspiciously, someone would have reported him.

‘What should I do about that?’

Seeing that she was far away and out of sight of Yoon Sejeong, it didn’t seem like they came together.

If they were going to come with Baek Ahra, Yoon Sejeong would have said so in advance.

If so, that means Baek Ahra followed Yoon Sejeong without telling her.

‘She’s really a stalker.’

I remember she didn’t do that in the original work.

Was she that worried about her childhood friend?

If she was, she should have told the lost child the way properly, what was she doing there?

‘……I’ll tease her later, and just ignore her for now.’

I thought about dealing with that first before talking to Yoon Sejeong, but I realized that I didn’t have to.

The fact that she didn’t talk to Yoon Sejeong, who was lost, meant that she had made up her mind to just be an observer today.

In other words, there was no problem with the four of us playing.

And, it was rather good.

If the three of us show that we’re having fun together, Baek Ahra will be relieved and won’t bother us anymore.

With that policy in mind, I strode towards Yoon Sejeong.

“Sejeong.”

“Ah, Hayeon!”

Yoon Sejeong, who was holding her cell phone tightly and looking at it, brightened up at my call and got up from her seat.

And she quickly approached me, then her steps gradually slowed down.

Looking at her face, she had an expression full of apologies.

“Sorry, I got lost……I didn’t think it would be the opposite side, not here.”

Her eyes were restless, as if she was afraid that I would be angry.

Actually, it’s true that I was annoyed at first when she said she was lost.

Because I wasn’t that nice of a person.

But, I wasn’t so broken that I would get annoyed at a child who was so sorry like this.

And, being late because she got lost was a minor issue.

The other two were also late for appointments, mostly because they were late waking up or choosing clothes.

I was also late sometimes because I overslept.

So, I could think of this as just a happening and move on.

“It’s okay. It hasn’t been long. The kids are waiting at a cafe in the shopping mall, so let’s go together.”

“……Okay.”

‘Her face is still the same.’

Even though I told her it was okay, she still seemed to feel sorry.

I could think of it as being like Yoon Sejeong, but I, who was watching, wasn’t.

It was just frustrating.

We’re about to start playing, she shouldn’t be walking around with that face.

“……Ugh?”

So, I grabbed her cheeks.

It’s a drastic measure.

“Hayeona? (Hayeon?)”

I pull up her drooping mouth by pulling her cheeks.

Then, a Hoppang was created with her eyes wide open and only her mouth awkwardly raised.

(Hoppang is a Korean steamed bun, often with a sweet filling.)

“……Pfft.”

“What a you doig? Let go……(What are you doing? Let go……)”

It was an expression I made, but I laughed unintentionally.

Originally, if it was a normal person, their face would have been greatly distorted, but Yoon Sejeong had a good base, so even that was cutely funny.

“Are you going to be so down?”

“Uhh……?”

“Forget about the time that’s already passed, and just think about having fun today. Okay?”

There’s nothing to be gained by regretting the time that has already passed.

Rather, it’s just a vicious cycle of wasting the upcoming time by recalling the past.

‘Actually, the person most obsessed with the past is me.’

Still, wouldn’t it be okay to show off this much in front of this pure and soft child?

I decided to think so for now.

“Think abot playig? (Think about playing?)”

“Yes. Think about playing. We’re going to play until dinner today. Right?”

“……Yes. Tats ight. (Yes. That’s right.)”

After hearing her answer, I released my hands from her cheeks.

‘It’s soft.’

It was a cheek worth touching.

It was to the point where I wanted to touch it again if I had the chance later.

Of course, I’ll have to ask for permission then.

“……Thank you, Hayeon.”

“For what?”

“Just, for everything?”

Yoon Sejeong seemed to feel better about what I said, and she said that and smiled bashfully.

As expected, Yoon Sejeong’s smiling face was the best to see.

With this much tension, today should be fine.

“Then let’s go.”

“Okay!”

Saying that, Yoon Sejeong grabbed my right hand.

“Huh?”

Why is she suddenly holding my hand?

“Th, it’s because it’s embarrassing if I get lost again…….”

When I looked at her with a questioning look, that was the answer I got.

‘……Well, it doesn’t matter.’

Sohee and Jia also frequently touch me, and holding hands was a common physical contact between women.

If I were in a man’s body now, I don’t know, but now I was clearly a woman.

And, unlike the other heroines, Extra 1 who doesn’t connect with Yoon Sejeong.

Combining all of this, I concluded that it was okay to hold hands between friends.

“I, have a lot of sweat on my hands.”

“It’s okay!”

“……Then, hold on.”

“Hehe.”

Holding hands nicely like that, the two of us walked to the cafe in the shopping mall.

The first outing since her childhood friend Yoon Sejeong transferred.

Moreover, she heard that she was going out with Kim Hayeon and the other two, so she secretly followed her childhood friend.

Because she was worried.

She thought she didn’t know what kind of evil hand that woman would reach out to her childhood friend.

If her worries were unfounded, that was the end of it, but if something happened, she had the intention to intervene even if she was hated.

Because she was such a precious friend.

However, the first thought that came to mind as soon as she saw Kim Hayeon’s appearance was a completely different thought.

‘It’s the first time I’ve seen her in plain clothes…….’

As they only met at the academy, she was familiar with their school uniform, but it was the first time she saw them in plain clothes.

Certainly, she was tall and had a model-like body, so the clothes suited her really well.

She also put on more makeup than when she was at the academy, so it seemed to be sparkling…….

‘No, it’s not the time to be looking at that.’

The important thing was what Kim Hayeon was doing to Sejeong, and what kind of expression Sejeong was making.

These were the two things I was going to observe today.

Not observing her plain clothes.

After slapping her cheeks lightly and regaining her senses, she continued to observe the two of them.

She couldn’t hear what they were saying.

It was because she was far away, and the surroundings were also quite noisy with noise.

‘If only I could get a little closer…….’

It was when she was having such regrets.

‘Wh, what!?’

The distance between the two got closer, and suddenly Kim Hayeon pulled Sejeong’s two cheeks.

Then they said something to each other, and after Kim Hayeon released her hands from her cheeks, the two of them looked at each other and smiled bashfully.

To be precise, only Sejeong was smiling and Kim Hayeon’s lips were only slightly raised, but even from afar, the atmosphere looked quite good.

‘……Co, could it be, are the two of them in that kind of relationship?’

To say it was a simple friendship, the atmosphere between the two was unusual.

But they’ve only known each other for about a week?

Even that Kim Hayeon?

‘……No way.’

Kim Hayeon has never had any rumors about a boyfriend or girlfriend until now.

This time, there were strange rumors that she dumped the president, but basically, the Kim Hayeon I knew wasn’t that kind of person.

She shouldn’t be.

‘She, she even held hands!’

Even Sejeong grabbed it first.

Kim Hayeon looked at it for a moment, but she didn’t show any sign of shaking off her hand.

This, no matter who sees it, isn’t it that kind of relationship!

No.

I have to stop Sejeong right now…….

‘……With what words?’

The body that was about to move stops.

Kim Hayeon was a person who needed to be reformed from my point of view, but when viewed from an absolute standard, she wasn’t that much of a bad person.

If she was such a person, I would have slapped her cheek long ago and pulled Sejeong far away.

Therefore, there was no justification to intervene between the two.

If I forcibly intervene here, it becomes more selfish and self-centered behavior than following Sejeong’s back.

Self-satisfaction covered with the words of for others.

I’ve seen enough of that by my side.

So, I can’t cross the line anymore.

I couldn’t block Sejeong’s happy face.

‘……Should I stop?’

Once I calmed down, the fact that this was meaningless was revealed.

If Kim Hayeon is someone who can show that kind of face to Sejeong.

Further action was meaningless.

So, it was when I was about to fold my mask and sunglasses and turn around.

Vibrate.

‘……?’

I heard the vibration of my cell phone, which doesn’t ring well on weekends.

I unconsciously turned on the screen as I did every day.

Maybe it’s an important text message, so I quickly checked the alarm every day.

And, the culprit was revealed.

It was a message from Kim Hayeon.

[Disciplinary Committee President, is today’s disciplinary activity already over?]

[Then, I’ll take your childhood friend?]

Just two lines of text.

However, the content contained therein was not simple at all.

Swish.

As soon as I saw the text, I turned my gaze to where Kim Hayeon was.

Then, I saw Kim Hayeon slightly looking at me and shaking her cell phone so that Sejeong wouldn’t notice.

“Th, this…….”

The embarrassment that comes from being caught doing something like stalking.

The absurdity that comes from the fact that she did that even though she knew I was there.

In addition to that, various emotions were mixed, and a vortex of emotions that could not be expressed in words engulfed my whole body.

And all those emotions were conveyed in just 3 words.

[Idiot, Pervert, Shameless!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!]

And then, I sent a declaration of war to Kim Hayeon.

[I’ll be watching closely what you’re doing to Sejeong all day today! If you do anything strange, I’ll intervene immediately, got it!?]

[Do whatever you want.]

“Wh, do whatever I want? Yes, I’ll do whatever I want! You, Kim Hayeon…….”

The hair incident and the cookie incident that happened before.

And the text message incident that just happened.

Baek Ahra’s cheeks, who were only unilaterally attacked, were filled with red heat today as well.
