Academy Genius Craftsman - Academy Genius Craftsman chapter 114

06. Mid-term exam (9)

‘No, no matter what. Originally, getting close to chaebol only made me tired. What about Yoon Seo-hee and Baek Ji-soo? What’s wrong with a guy who doesn’t regret anything?’

… With the words, Byung-Jun Lee left the rooftop as if he had nothing more to see.

I was confused and wanted to think more, so I blankly looked up at the sky.

‘That cloud is elongated with a round tip… It looks like a decapitation sword often used in Europe.’

The autumn sky is clear. Looking at the slowly flowing clouds, my mind calmed down a bit. I was able to make a decision after clearing up some of my confused feelings and thinking calmly.

‘Yes. Let’s refuse.’

It wasn’t polite to Yoon Seo-hee, who had helped me wholeheartedly until now, and she didn’t have to accept the complicated task of being a contract boyfriend.

Even if you don’t accept Yuna’s offer, you’ll have a chance to get in touch with the dark background of the Claprot group in some way if you’re working on the gunblade.

Come to think of it, I’ve already stopped the assassin sent by the vice president (even though Kertatus did it) and helped Yuna build a gunblade. Strictly speaking, I can’t be regarded as someone else, so there is a possibility that Klaproth headquarters will contact me. Of course, this is still just speculation.

In the case of Cha Soo-hyeok… There seems to be a connection with my parents, so if I go to the Suseong Guild, at least they won’t stop at the doorstep. After that, it would be up to me to find out why he betrayed humanity.

And crucially, I’m not confident with escorts. I don’t have the confidence to properly act like a contract boyfriend, as Yuna said. It would be good if she didn’t embarrass her at her social party, so her refusal now would be a better choice for Yuna as well.

After making that decision, I came down the roof and ran into Yuna in the hallway.

“Huh?”

“Oh. Whoa!”

The sudden encounter at the corner must have surprised her, as she hesitated backwards and twisted her feet. He stumbled over her body and quickly grabbed her waist as she fell backwards in an instant.

Yuna’s bright golden hair was disheveled. The blue eyes, wide open in surprise, are very close because they embraced so closely. We made eye contact for about 5 seconds without saying anything to each other, then suddenly fell apart at the same time.

I rubbed the nape of my neck with a sullen expression.

“Sorry. It came out of nowhere.”

“No, I am. Thanks for catching me.”

“What is that? Are you hurt anywhere?”

“Yes. It’s okay.”

“… ….”

“… ….”

Um.

Awkward…….

Actually, from the day we put Yuna’s proposal on hold, we’ve been in this kind of mood ever since.

It was awkward to deal with her because she hadn’t decided what conclusion to make about her contract boyfriend’s proposal, and Yuna seemed cautious about how to treat me like that.

On Sundays, we exchanged only work-related conversations with each other and worked hard, and when the time came, we rode Yuna’s limousine back home. And another day passed, and now we met like this.

Still, this is an opportunity.

Since the conclusion has just been reached, if we drag it on longer, this awkward atmosphere will only last longer. I thought I should find some time to meet, but it was an opportunity to meet by chance.

I opened my mouth quickly to harden my heart and break the awkward atmosphere.

“Hey, Yuna-“

“Binary, actually-“

We spoke at the same time, like in a romantic comedy, and then kept our mouths shut. Again, the awkward air flowed heavy.

“… You tell me first.”

“You can talk about binary first.”

“I’m fine. I’ll tell you after I hear you.”

“Mmm. I know. Actually, I want to talk about the proposal I made the other day.”

I was a little nervous. Because it was exactly the topic I was talking about. What are you talking about? Would you like to make further suggestions? No matter what I said, I felt sorry and uncomfortable at the same time because the answer was fixed.

But the words that came out of Yuna’s mouth were not like that.

“Can you pretend I didn’t hear that?”

“What?”

She opened her mouth blankly at the unexpected words.

Ask for something you didn’t hear? So you’re saying there’s no need to reject Yuna’s offer? I’m lucky, but… Why?

Perhaps she read my expression, Yuna said with an awkward smile.

“In retrospect, I think I was too impatient. I should have been more careful with that suggestion… I thought a lot over the weekend because I felt like I gave Lee Jin some discomfort. I guess I said something wrong. Sorry.”

“No, no. It wasn’t uncomfortable. Just a little… The situation is not good enough for me to accept that.”

“Right. Because Lee Jin has Lee Jin’s circumstances. I feel like I’ve been forcing myself too much….”

We carefully examined each other’s complexion, and then burst into light laughter at the same time.

“Then, are there any problems between us now?”

“Um… right?”

“I’m glad. Solve the uncomfortable things with Lee Jin. Huhu, I’ll see you later in the afternoon class.”

I was able to break up with Yuna in a friendly atmosphere, where did the awkward atmosphere a while ago go? She was still bewildered by something, but soon convinced herself that good was good.

It was fortunate that Yuna brought up such a story first. I wouldn’t have been comfortable with her if I had lost her few friends because I was uncomfortable with her. Now I just need to make a gunblade with ease and prepare for the midterm exam.

“Hmm?”

I suddenly felt someone’s gaze and turned around.

But no one was there.

–

Yoon Seo-hee’s heart was full of discomfort throughout the morning.

As for how uncomfortable she was, she got along well with her classmates because of her usual sociable personality, but she showed her bad intentions throughout the break with her expression tilted crookedly. .

The friends around her couldn’t even talk to her because they were paying attention to her.

‘No matter how much I think about it, there’s something.’

Yoon Seo-hee thought as she tapped her desk with her long pianist-like index finger.

Every time she tapped her fingers, cracks splintered like cobwebs on her battle and dedicated hardwood desk, but she didn’t notice at all, deep in her thoughts.

When she received a message from Kim Yi-jin on the weekend that it was difficult to contact her because she was busy, Yoon Seo-hee felt some kind of intuition. She and she recently asked Jin Lee’s grandfather, whom she has been in touch with personally, and she got information that Jin Lee was staying at a friend’s house of hers.

When I think of Kim Yi-jin’s limited human relationship, and when I combine the information from the past that she recently stayed at someone’s house, I can’t think of a place other than a friend’s house that I can go to.

‘I must have been at Yuna’s house over the weekend….’

I thought of Lee Byung-Jun for a moment, but even though it is true that I am friends with Kim I-Jin, there is no reason to make time to visit his house. He has no reason to come to sleep. As usual, she must have visited to make weapons, but the fact that she stayed overnight at Lee Sung’s house was enough to make Yoon Seo-hee feel threatened.

‘To think that he overworked his back enough to complain of muscle pain… What the hell were you two doing?’

Yoon Seo-hee nervously chewed her nails. However, because of her durability stat, which is superior to her dental grip, she didn’t even have the slightest scratch on her pretty nails.

I can’t. I can’t stand it because I care so much. And it wasn’t even in her character for her to languish like this alone behind her back. As befits her reckless personality, it seemed that she would be relieved only if she directly asked and confirmed.

Yoon Seo-hee got up from her seat and spoke to Lee Byung-jun, who returned to her classroom alone.

“Byung-jun.”

“Uh, huh? Yoon Seo-hee? Why?”

“Do you know where Lee Jin is?”

Lee Byung-jun shook her shoulders as if he was momentarily surprised by her call, and as soon as he heard the matter, he nodded his head with a look of wanting to answer.

“If it were Kim Yi-jin, she would be alone on the roof by now.”

“Really? Thanks.”

Having obtained the information she wanted, Yoon Seo-hee smiled and headed for the rooftop. Just in time, she could see Kim coming down the stairs, as if Jin had also come from her rooftop.

The moment I was about to call Kim I-jin with a welcome voice, Kim I-jin and Yuna ran into each other at the corner.

“… !”

Seeing the two people getting closer and clinging to each other in an instant, Yoon Seo-hee held her breath and hid herself in the corner of her hallway.

What is it? Why am i hiding? No reason to hide More than that, why are those two clinging so close? When did you become like that?

Yoon Seo-hee, who narrowed her brows in a surge of irritation, cautiously stuck out her face. Then, I saw Kim I-jin and Yuna smiling at each other.

The two parted ways in a friendly atmosphere. But at that moment, Yoon Seo-hee’s sensitive hearing heard Yuna quietly muttering to herself.

“I was too hasty after all… But it was an atmosphere where it was clear that he would be rejected… Should I make a more established fact next time and push it hard? Um, I’m worried… Which method is the most reliable….”

Yoon Seo-hee held her breath as much as she could to avoid being noticed by Yuna, who passed her by. It looked like a shoplifter, but now she didn’t care at all.

Yuna’s profile as she passed by at first glance was that of a villain plotting an insidious scheme.

“… ….”

Yoon Seo-hee’s gaze sank coldly.
