The next day...
Yuna walked into the classroom, her eyes immediately searching—
"Minji!"
She quickly went up to her.
"Are you okay? You didn't have to risk yourself like that yesterday," Yuna said softly. "I'll manage on my own."
Minji rolled her eyes.
"Come on," she said. "I'm your friend. I can't just let you handle everything alone."
Then she leaned closer and whispered in Yuna's ear—
"After all… I'm also a friend of Scarlet Shadow."
Yuna froze for a second—
Then both of them burst into laughter.
---
"WAAAHHHH HARUUUU!!"
The classroom suddenly exploded with noise.
Harin had just walked in.
Girls rushed toward her instantly, surrounding her from all sides.
"Haruu, good morning!"
"Haruu, look at me!"
"Haruu, did you eat breakfast?!"
Yuna turned her head—
And blinked.
"…Where's Minji?"
She looked again.
Minji was gone.
A second later—
She spotted her.
Right in the crowd.
"HARUUUU!!" Minji shouted along with the others.
Yuna stared at her, completely blank.
I really feel bad for her…
When she finds out the truth…
She awkwardly turned away and walked to her seat.
---
Yuna sat beside Jihun.
"…Good morning," she said softly.
No response.
Jihun didn't even look at her.
Yuna blinked.
Huh…?
She hesitated for a moment.
She wanted to talk about the clip from yesterday.
But—
"…Hey, Jihun?"
"Just be quiet," he said coldly.
Yuna froze.
Her eyes widened slightly.
What's wrong with him…?
She slowly looked away.
Maybe… I should talk to him later.
His mood is bad…
---
The whole day—
Yuna tried.
In the corridors, she tried calling him with small hand gestures.
In class, she tried catching his attention.
But every time—
Jihun ignored her.
Completely.
As if she wasn't even there.
---
By the end of the day—
Yuna had enough.
She walked up to him directly.
"What's wrong with you?" she said, frustrated.
"Here I am trying to make things clear, and you're just making everything more complicated!"
Jihun suddenly stepped closer.
Very close.
Yuna froze.
Their faces were just inches apart.
"Why?" he said quietly. "Is there a problem?"
Yuna's heart skipped.
"…Yes," she said, trying to stay calm. "I want to tell you something—"
"Jihun."
A voice interrupted.
Both of them turned.
Park Haeun stood there.
Her eyes paused for a second—
On the distance between them.
A flicker of something crossed her expression.
But she smiled.
"The teacher wants to see all the Elite 7 members," she said. "Come now."
Jihun didn't say anything.
He just stepped back—
And left with her.
Yuna stood there.
Annoyed.
Frustrated.
Then suddenly—
Her face turned red.
"Wait…"
She covered her face slightly.
He was so close just now…
Her mind flashed back—
The library.
That moment.
"Stupid Jihun…" she muttered.
"What's your problem?!"
---
Meanwhile—
Harin walked home casually, hands behind her back.
Then—
She spotted someone ahead.
Choi Kyungmin.
A mischievous smile appeared on her face.
Oh… this will be fun.
She quietly ran forward—
And—
"BOO!"
Kyungmin jumped.
"W-Who is it?!" he said, slightly trembling.
Harin stepped forward proudly.
"It's me—"
The moment Kyungmin saw her—
He froze.
Flash.
"Were you scared… darling?"
His face turned red.
"…!"
Without saying a word—
He turned around—
And ran.
Thinking why am I running oh GOD!!
I am not GAY!! That I am feeling scared to even look at HARUU .
What's wrong with MEE!!
Harin blinked.
"…What?"
She stood there, confused.
"…What was that?"
She tilted her head.
"Maybe…"
She nodded seriously.
"He really needed to go to the toilet."
And just like that—
She walked off, completely satisfied with her own conclusion.
And we see at the corridors suddenly Park haeun stops
And ask jihun who was that girl ( smiling)
And jihun just replies that she is a classmate and left.
And we see park haeun saying "really"? (Creeply) and then she also goes with Jihun.
