Breaking Up With the Heroine in an Otome Game

45 – Why are you to me (5)

045

“Today’s funeral ends here. There isn’t much left until the midterm exams, so let’s all focus on training. Then, let’s disperse.”

Hong Da-ye, the homeroom teacher, yawned with tired eyes as always and waved her hand as if to say goodbye.

I looked at the back of the homeroom teacher leaving the classroom and then glanced at Soyeon’s side profile.

Until the end of today’s work, Soyeon didn’t say anything and just glanced at me secretly.

Also, his complexion was strangely dark and his expression was stiff.

What can I say?

Should I say that he looks listless?

Or should I say he looks depressed?

From time to time, the way she sighed and glanced at me was so out of character that it could not be said to be the usual Soyeon.

‘…… Is it because of what happened last night?’

Considering that someone with malicious intent came to her house and threw a rock with profanity written on it, it was completely understandable why Soyeon felt so discouraged.

If it were an ordinary person, he would not have simply felt lethargic and would have reported the incident to the police right away, with his whole body trembling like an aspen tree.

I guess that’s the end of it, since it’s about Soyeon.

‘As expected, we should catch Soyeon’s stalker quickly without wasting time.’

I wanted to prepare a little more, but I couldn’t just leave Soyeon, who was feeling listless, unattended all the time.

‘But wasn’t he pretty fine in the morning? It seems like my condition has gotten worse since lunch…… Hmm.’

I tilted my head for a moment and then spoke to Soyeon.

“Soyeon, are you okay?”

“Uh, huh?”

“Don’t worry too much. We will soon find the person who did that to you. “Wouldn’t it be easier if Lee Si-woon helped me?”

“Ah…… Shiwoon…….”

Soyeon pursed her lips for a moment.

I bit my cute light pink lower lip.

He hesitated, looking at me as if he was about to say something or hesitating.

“… ….”

For a moment, he looked straight into my eyes.

I also quietly looked into Soyeon’s eyes.

There were clouds in the eyes that were once brilliant like the sun.

Soyeon pursed her lips with a dull expression.

“…… “Hey, Jinhyuk.”

“Why?”

“…… Uh, I mean.”

Soyeon was twirling the ends of her hair as if she was nervous.

But she smiled bitterly and changed the topic.

“No, it’s nothing.”

“I’m more curious because you interrupted me mid-sentence for no reason? “What on earth is this?”

“It’s really not a big deal, so don’t worry about it.”

“Isn’t it related to this incident? “Don’t hide something like that again.”

“What is related to this matter…… No. Really.”

From what I can see, it doesn’t seem like he’s lying.

Then what is it? It bothers me.

Can you ask more?

“Soyeon, don’t do that… ….”

“Soyeon.”

At that moment, a nice man’s voice came between us.

When Soyeon and I turned our gaze towards the source of the voice, there was Lee Si-woon looking in this direction with a calm expression.

Lee Si-woon secretly spoke to So-yeon.

“Why don’t we go home from school together today?”

I thought he was a little worried because of what happened this morning.

Actually, I had something to say to Lee Si-woon today, but it didn’t matter if I said it tomorrow anyway, so I just helped out what he said.

“Yes, Soyeon. You two go together. Something like that happened last night, so you never know, just in case.”

Of course, that guy must have been well aware that there had been a lot of noise talking about Soyeon since the morning, so he would be quiet for a while.

You don’t want to do anything that stands out in a situation where there’s a lot of aggro going on.

But apart from that, it could be used as an excuse to keep Soyeon and Lee Si-woon together.

“…… Oh that.”

If it were normal, she would have nodded obediently and said, ‘Okay, let’s go together,’ but for some reason, Soyeon was secretly watching me.

I tilted my head for a moment out of curiosity.

Why are you watching me?

“…… It’s okay, I have something to do today. So, I’ll go first. See you tomorrow, guys.”

Soyeon is already carrying a bag.

She glanced at us with a wry smile and then hurriedly walked towards the back door of the classroom.

I blinked and looked at Soyeon’s back from a distance.

I didn’t know you’d go away alone like that…….

Anyway.

‘Well, now that things have come to this, I guess I should take care of my business.’

Suddenly, I turned my head towards Lee Si-Woon, and saw Lee Si-Woon staring at me with a slightly subtle gaze.

When Lee Si-woon asked me to leave school with him, So-yeon seemed to realize that he was secretly watching me.

Hey, hey. Don’t be jealous over things like that.

I will help you two become more intimate.

“Lee Si-un.”

“Uh.”

“I have something to say about Soyeon, can you give me some time today?”

I quietly whispered in a very quiet voice so that the other children could not hear.

“…… Actually, there’s one kid I’m suspicious of. So, I’d like to check it out together.”

“… ….”

Lee Si-un looked at me with somewhat serious eyes and then nodded her head once.

I thought that if it was a story related to So-yeon, it would be Zigbang, just in case someone wasn’t one of the male protagonists.

Next Sunday afternoon.

“Hey, is this Lee Si-un’s house?”

Choi Chang-won looked around the spacious house and let out an exclamation of admiration.

Currently, Lee Si-un was living independently from his family, and the only people living in Jirai’s house, except for a few employees and security guards, were only him.

“Hi Lee Si-un. Uh, what is it, Jinhyuk Lee, you’re here too.”

It was Choi Chang-won who warmly greeted Lee Si-woon and I, who were sitting in the living room, and walked towards us.

“So what about the other kids? “Are you here yet?”

“It will come soon, okay?”

I answered with a shrug of my shoulders.

The reason we gathered at Lee Si-woon’s house today is because Lee Si-woon said he had something important to say about what happened to Soyeon.

As Choi Chang-won had directly mentioned that he would help So-yeon, he had no choice but to obediently accept Lee Si-woon’s invitation.

“Kim Yu-seong, Kim Seo-yoon, did you sing them too?”

“Uh.”

Of course not.

I don’t need them for today’s events.

“Anyway, it’s really scary. You throw something like a rock at someone else’s house and run away. “What would you do if someone else got hit?”

Choi Chang-won tsk tsk while sitting on a chair in the living room.

“I never thought there would be someone like that in our academy. I don’t know who the culprit is…….”

“The culprit is Kang Yu-jeong.”

Lee Si-woon answered obediently with a bored expression.

“Huh?”

“Yoo Seol-hyeon’s help was great.”

“Yoo Seolhyeon?”

“Yes. Not long ago, she said she was suspicious of Kang Yu-jeong and asked me to help her interrogate her. “Because Kang Yoo-jeong is very interested in me, she said that if I interrogate her, she will confess.”

In fact, the reason why Kang Yoo-jeong threw a rock with her profanity written on it at So-yeon’s house was because she had a crush on Lee Si-woon.

If Lee Si-un questioned her strongly, she would not have been able to deny it.

In fact, there was no problem with Yoo Seol-hyeon interrogating her alone, but in order to make Lee Si-un stand out more, she deliberately entrusted her interrogation to Lee Si-un.

“First of all, I was able to get a confession. “She said she was just taking out her anger because Soyeon and I were close friends.”

“Really?”

“Uh. And she received an apology two days ago for making her meet with Soyeon separately. “I’m not sure if she’s reflecting, but Soyeon has forgiven her, so she’s trying not to make the incident too big.”

“What, has it been resolved already? “That’s good.”

Choi Chang-won, who had been listening to Lee Si-un’s words in silence, suddenly seemed to relax and shrugged his shoulders.

“By the way, I didn’t know that Yoo Seol-hyeon would cooperate. Yoo Seol-hyeon secretly hated So-yeon, right? And Kang Yoo-jeong, she may be one of the kids in her group, but she dares to reveal her secrets.”

“… ….”

“Is it because of Lee Si-un? “You and Yoo Seol-hyun are childhood friends, and you have a strong connection, Lee Si-woon.”

“… ….”

“But if you find out the culprit, isn’t it okay to tell me in advance? I’ve been just digging for no reason these past few days. Oh right. Do Kim Seo-yoon and Kim Yoo-seong know this? “They said they were going around here and there, saying they were going to find the people who did that to Soyeon.”

“…… Choi Chang-won.”

Lee Si-woon, who chanted Choi Chang-won’s name in a low voice, looked at me for a moment and then lowered his head and pursed his lips.

“There is a separate culprit who prompted Kang Yu-jeong to act like that. Of course, apart from that, I don’t support Kang Yu-jeong’s actions.”

“What is that all of a sudden? The culprit who induced Kang Yu-jeong’s actions? There is such a thing…….”

Choi Chang-won blinked his eyes and looked embarrassed. Yeah, it’s understandable. Because I didn’t know something like this would come out already.

“Surely you found out while interrogating Kang Yoo-jeong?”

“No. Kang Yoo-jeong didn’t even know that she had been induced. And she, Kang Yoo-jeong, always said a lot of bad things about So-yeon, so she must have had quite a few people who hit back.”

Lee Si-woon made eye contact with Choi Chang-won.

“That’s why it’s difficult to pinpoint just one person.”

She expected Kang Yu-jeong that she would be found out someday, so she did not reveal herself much, and she guided him appropriately, so if she was natural, she could say that she was natural.

From the beginning, she must have planned to later reveal the fact that Kang Yoo-jeong was the culprit.

To win Soyeon’s favor.

“What, then what is the real culprit talking about?”

“Choi Chang-won, I’ll give you one chance before you say that.”

Suddenly, Lee Si-woon speaks with cold eyes.

“It’s you.”

“What? “No, that’s it.”

“The culprit who induced Kang Yu-jeong’s bad feelings.”

“Hey, don’t joke, what am I doing?”

Lee Si-woon said another word with serious eyes.

“You’re actually Soyeon’s stalker.”
