The Academy’s Deceased Ate It All

before shook.

I was about to say something about it, but I managed to hold it back by popping a vitamin in my mouth.

“Ugh, sour.”

It was when I was in the middle of feeling the taste that made me frown.

I suddenly looked at Lee Ye-Eun and smiled a little.

And feeling something strange about my smile, she shook her head slightly as if to tell me to stop.

“Hey, do you know what kind of seed doesn’t sprout no matter how much you plant in the ground?”

“What? What are you talking about? what is that?”

“Vitamin C.”

At that, Han Soo-Young put her hand on my forehead without saying a word.

“It’s strange, you don't have a fever…… Did you hit your head hard somewhere?”

“…… .”

I shut my mouth.

Han Soo-Young had a very worried expression on her face, so it didn't seem like she was being sarcastic about it.

Choi Hyun-Woo and Ivan looked at me with indescribable eyes.

However, only Lee Ye-Eun, who was next to me, was chuckling under her breath and saying, 'Vitamin ……C, pfft.'

“Anyway, we’re really going.
Work hard, Ji-Hyuk.”

“Yeah, I’ll call you later when I have time.”

As I waved to the three disappearing in the distance, Lee Ye-Eun, who had been sitting quietly next to me, opened her mouth.

“Can I help?”

“With what?”

“About the designated.”

I waved my hand as if to say don't worry.

“It's okay.
Like I said before, I just have to reject it, and refusing it doesn’t mean there is any disadvantage.”

“But…… .”

“It’s really okay.
You don't have to worry about it.”

Lee Ye-Eun reluctantly nodded her head.

Then the two of us ate the rest of our lunches and sat down to rest for a while.

It was then.

Booung.

[from.
Jin Ye-Seul.

– I found it.]

It was a short text, but that alone was enough.

I smiled embarrassedly to Lee Ye-Eun, who was looking at me standing up.

“I’m going to go to the bathroom for a while.”

“Oh, yes.
See you.”

“If I'm late, go first.
I'll follow you on my own.”

With those words, I quickly got out of there.

Then, I called Jin Ye-Seul right away.

This was the start of the real preparation.
