Seongyu thought that the atmosphere of the club room was subtle recently. Similar people gathered together, it was similar times and similar purposes, but the atmosphere changed not long ago. centered on a little guy who was exactly the usual.
Seo Woo-yeon was one of Seon-gyu's favorite characters. Because of her small face and delicate features, she has been drawing attention from her classmates ever since she entered college. When Seon-gyu first saw Seo Woo-yeon, she couldn't take her eyes off him for a long time.
He had not lived that long, but he had never had a companion so beautiful in appearance. The round forehead, the wrinkled nose, the thin chin and the reddish lips seemed unreal to him.
He was alone with that face, so he thought that if he had been a little less shameless, he wouldn't have pretended to know him at the drinking party.
Fortunately, though, Seongyu was one of the most sociable people. Drunk and with a heroic psychology. Talking to him with an iron plate on his face allowed him to be his best adventure partner and motivation. He doesn't know if Seo Woo-yeon believes it, but at least he was closer than anyone else.
Two months. Short or long. They listened to the same lectures, went to MT, and studied at Seo Woo-yeon's house (though it was a surprising place to think about it again). Seon-gyu had been aware of Seo Woo-yeon, well, a very complicated guy to define in one word.
The problem is that the said Seo Woo-yeon began to show very noticeable symptoms starting last week.
"......."
A glare was fixed on the clock on the wall. Every time she blinked slowly, her thin double eyelids stood out sharply. Maybe she didn't know it, but her cheek had been red from before.
Seongyu knew why she looked like that. If you see the same face for a week, you can't help but notice it even if you don't want to. Of course, he knew what to say to react to Seo Woo-yeon.
"DOHYUN will be back soon."
"......!"
Seo Woo-yeon shrugged his shoulders. Seong-gyu secretly swallowed a smile at his surprised rabbit-like appearance. He looks like a fox, but somehow he looked like a bored bear.
"Okay... I'll be right back."
Seo Woo-yeon let out a loud cough. She covered her face on the side with her hand, but she couldn't cover her red ears. The burning pain on the back of her neck showed exactly how she felt.
"Oh, he likes Dohyon."
He had long realized this. The day after the study, he said he had an upset stomach after eating a hamburger. He had met him at an important conference, and somehow he had a soft atmosphere.
Usually the impression of sensitivity was so mild that the boys who had just watched would come over to greet him.
What's the good news?'
Until he asked, Seongyu didn't know why he was making that face. He thought he was in a good mood, or that something good had happened, or, well, that he had seen a cute cat in the morning.
"No, there is no such thing."
Seo Woo-yeon squeezed his cheek and replied reluctantly. And he quickly returned to his usual cold face. After wearing round glasses, he was so focused on the lecture that he couldn't even touch him, so Seongyu ignored him thinking it wouldn't be a big deal.
Seo Woo-yeon's truly strange reaction was when he finished the lecture and headed to the club room. At that moment, Woo-yeon, who had been pathologically avoiding the club room, walked next to Seong-gyu that day.
And when he met Do-hyun in the club room, Seongyu realized.
'...... Hey'.
No matter who saw it, it was a face of love. Her eyes were wet and her cheeks were red. Her trembling gaze was also directed at Do-hyun, but she didn't stare at him. However, she thought it was too bad that Do-hyun didn't respond.
In fact, it's not like there wasn't any sign from the beginning. Seo Woo-yeon said that Do-hyun was pretentious, but he followed along without knowing it. Emotional changes are rare in front of others, and he was especially shaken by Do-hyun's words.
A new beginning, or a belated realization. He thought there must be a chance. If not, Seo Woo-yeon's reaction wouldn't change overnight. Perhaps, the latter was more likely than the former.
A month later, Seongyu noticed the subtle flow of air between the two. Seo Woo-yeon seemed to be unfamiliar, but Do-hyun's gaze was becoming more like Seo Woo-yeon's.
At first, he was the only one who said he didn't know about the others' relationships, but Seongyu was determined not to be surprised at all even if they dated right away.
"I was surprised to hear that they left it."
Far from being abandoned, in Seongyu's opinion, their love was fluid. The reasons for sensitivity and lack of tact seemed to misunderstand something, but he believed that Do-hyun was going to lead in some way.
Last week, when he was told that he had been dumped, he heard Do-hyun call him "Yeon-ah" in a sweet voice that made the viewer's heart flutter.
So, this reaction right now.
"Are they finally dating?"
So it was something to celebrate with joy. Even though he was away from the clubroom for a week due to the student council, as a first-year student, it was clear that there was progress in the relationship.
Starting tomorrow, the festival will begin, so the world will look very pink.
"Kim Dohyon should be almost there."
Garam said, rolling around on the sofa. He asked how he knew, but heard a murmur: "I told you to buy me a drink." It seems that Do-hyun almost arrived at the time of his contact.
At the same time, the club door opened.
"Hey! Can you come back and buy me a drink?"
"Oh, no."
Do-hyun, who answered sourly, also looked fresh today. He was wearing a thin cotton shirt and a cardigan and pants that fit him perfectly. Seongyu has similar clothes, but no matter how he wore them, that vibe didn't come out.
"Hyung, you're here!"
Do-hyun smiled gently at the grand greeting. The clean and straight smile was also exciting to see the selfless Seongyu. But what about Seo Woo-yeon who has been waiting for him for a long time?
"...... you are here."
A low voice barely greeted him. Seongyu shook his head when he realized he was still blushing on his ears. There’s no trick. You look like an elementary school student who loves his homeroom teacher very much. I expected it, but Seo Woo-yeon had no talent for hiding emotions.
"Seon-gyu is in the club room today"
Do-hyun answered in a flat tone and stood on the opposite side. Seong-gyu involuntarily shrugged his shoulders upon seeing the two sitting next to each other. As usual, Seo Woo-yeon sat next to him, and that kind senior seemed to care.
"Since there's a festival starting tomorrow, I told you to help you prepare for the club festival."
"Aren't you busy with the student council?"
"I'm busy, but...... I don't ask the first graders to do it. And it's more fun than that."
"Can the science department say such a thing?"
While talking to Do-hyun, Seong-gyu was fully aware of Seo Woo-yeon who sat beside him. He was restless like a puppy waiting for its owner until just now, but as soon as Do-hyun came in, he calmed down. His cheeks colored red, but he didn't seem to have any intention of talking to him.
Faced with such behavior from Seo Woo-yeon, Do-hyun was the first to speak.
"Wooyeon".
"What? What?"
Seo Woo-yeon visibly flinched and stood up. It was so intense that Garam, who was rolling around on a cot, was interesting to watch. Do-hyun tapped the seat next to him and pulled out his cell phone.
"Come here, I'll show you the headband for the festival."
It was an obvious trick. If she was going to show him the headband, she would just have to hand over her cell phone, but the intention of calling him to the seat next to her was transparent.
"Diadem?"
However, it seems that the transparent intention was not seen by Seo Woo-yeon. Seo Woo-yeon, who moved to Do-hyun's side, looked at the phone with curious eyes. Then, he looked dazed as if he had blushed.
"......Is it a rabbit?"
A slight frown told him that she really hated him. Do-hyun tilted his head and spoke softly.
"Yes, a rabbit. There's also a cat."
His face was so close that he couldn't get any closer. Seo Woo-yeon, who stopped breathing in an instant, rolled her eyes. Her stiff shoulders looked very tense at first glance.
"This... All the club members, we have to use it, right?"
Seo Woo-yeon stood up from the crowded seat, asking like that. Then Do-hyun quickly returned to Seong-gyu's side as best he could to catch him. Seongyu was embarrassed, but Seo Woo-yeon just touched his earlobes out of habit.
"......The club members will use it all."
Maybe it was just his feeling, but the voice that responded seemed to have lowered its tone. No, even the friendly face cracked slightly to be just a feeling. Seongyu signaled to Garam with an incomprehensible expression.
What's going on?
If he had gone, he would have sat there, but he didn't know why he had to go back. And he looked down while ignoring Dohyun's gaze. He doesn't know, but it was also strange that Garam seemed familiar with the situation.
"Oh".
Garam shrugged and stood up from the couch. He reached into his pocket and pulled out a cigarette, and winked at Seongyu.
"Hey, Seongyu. Let's go smoke. DOHYUN, you're not going to smoke, are you?"
"You know it well."
To avoid his seat, to explain this situation. Anyway, it was a sign to follow.
As soon as Seongyu was about to get up from his seat, Seo Woo-yeon stood before him.
"Me too!"
Seo Woo-yeon unnaturally appeared on the sofa. Do-hyun's gaze slowly reached Seo Woo-yeon. Perhaps sensing the gaze on him, Seo Woo-yeon frowned with an embarrassed look.
"No cigarettes... I want to have a drink."
It was a very sensible situation. He tried to leave the two alone, but Seo Woo-yeon didn't know and tried to follow. No, the appearance of being in a hurry to avoid Do-hyun.
"......I'll go out first."
Saying that, Seo Woo-yeon left the club room before anyone else.
Of the remaining three, it was Garam who opened his mouth first.
"What have you done to him?"
"......."
Do-hyun laughed without saying anything, but the smile seemed like a warning not to ask further. Seongyu kept his mouth shut, holding back the question, “Is it okay for Woo-yeon to avoid hyung?”
He doesn't know what happened, but the atmosphere in the club room was very strange.
