I Became a Mental Health Care Patient in the Apocalyptic Era

chapter 14



Episode 14-I’m Hungry…(2)

At the entrance to where I came in, that is, the small side road leading to the building, there was a woman I saw earlier.

A little bit of concern towards me, and about half the anger, the rest is desire.

She came towards me with her simple face, which was only diluted with various emotions.

“Why? I’m just picking some berries to stay awake.”

When you answer as calmly as possible, is her expression like that right away? She changed her expression.

Part of it is because she has a simple and gullible personality, but it was also because my acting skills grew rapidly while living as Lee Ju-eun.

“This fruit is very sour, so if you eat it when you’re a bit dazed, you’ll wake up. Would you like to try it too?”

I made a mistake because I was hungry.

It was a problem that I gave her her fruit for no reason even though I didn’t have enough to eat, and the problem was that she might misunderstand me about me while I was giving her fruit.

Even so, she couldn’t retrieve her hand, so she held out only the fruit in front of her hand.

“…”

Without saying a word, she took all the fruit from my hand into her hand.

It’s not hard to pick, but the remaining branches are all on the high side, so it might be hard to find in the future.

“Aww! It’s really cine… Yup.”

If you’re going to spit it out, don’t eat it all.

Seeing her grimace as if she had poured it all into her mouth at once, she was genuinely upset.

‘Calm down. It’s just fruit. Let’s not overindulge.’

I took a slow, deep breath to calm myself down.

“I thought you were hungry and came here to eat something like this?”

“Are you an idiot? What kind of person in the world is hungry and eats the fruits of trees in the academy?”

“Isn’t that right? No one in the world is that poor, right?”

From what she said indifferently, I could tell that she was a pretty well-to-do person.

Even a person who grew up as an ordinary person would have had the experience of doing all sorts of things to live, or would have heard stories about people who did such things.

This is also a girl who does not know the world.

“I think my mind is getting better, so I’ll go back now.”

“Wait!”

She held my wrist tightly.

‘Aww!’

My body trembled a little from the grip that made her wrists tingle, but I clenched my teeth and endured with the mind that I couldn’t show weakness to her crazy b*tch.

“My name is Park Ji-soo. Class F!”

Since the academy doesn’t place classes in order of grades, there was no need to ignore them just because they were in class F.

“Okay. Let go of your wrist first. I have to go study.”

“Study hard.”

Park Ji-soo laughed and let go of my wrist.

Looking at the hand that was holding my wrist with a smile, I had a strong feeling that if I disappeared, I would stick my nose there and sniff it.

I went back to class A, enduring a stiff feeling in my wrist.

‘There is no one there.’

It seemed like I spent a lot of time, but I didn’t spend a lot of time because I went down and picked the fruit and came back.

The other kids had just finished eating and it was time to come out of the cafeteria to train or study.

‘Crazy pervert.’

That was my evaluation of Park Ji-soo.

First of all, the pervert was clearly revealed from the eyes looking at me.

And I thought he wasn’t looking for me, but it seems I just didn’t notice.

There is no reason to pass through the entrance of a small space where no one enters according to common sense.

Perhaps he secretly followed me and was caught.

-Awesome!

“Aww…”

My wrist still tingled no matter how hard I gripped it.

Well, since he’s strong enough to grab onto a person’s body and tear it apart with just his physical strength, it wasn’t strange that the aftereffects lingered for a long time, but it hurt more than I thought.

‘I can’t go to the infirmary…’

Strange things might happen if you go to the infirmary alone in a situation where you don’t know when to follow me.

‘Are you sick too? Hee hee… Pretending to be strong is cute…’

If you were in Park Ji-soo’s mental state, it would have been enough.

When I was reading a book without even touching my wrist because I thought I might be watching from somewhere, Yang Ga-hyun came into the class.

“Gulp…”

I couldn’t help but swallow the moment I saw Yang Ga-hyeon, to be precise, the castella bread in Yang Ga-hyeon’s hand.

If I had only Lee Joo-eun’s memory and didn’t know the taste of that bread, I would have been able to see it as just bread, but the taste of the bread remained so clear in my memory that I just swallowed my mouth for no reason.

“What is it? You want to eat it?”

I said that I would look away as soon as possible, but in the meantime, Yang Ga-hyun, who seemed to have caught my gaze, sat next to me with a mischievous smile.

“I’ll give you this bread if you do one favor, sister.”

Gahyun Yang’s proposal was really attractive.

First of all, I really liked being able to get the bread, even conditionally, but I also had the price of a request so that my pride wouldn’t be hurt.

-Thinking…

‘I think I’ll have to go to the infirmary for this?’

The constant pain in my wrist struck me with an amazing idea.

“I’m done with the request, let’s arm wrestle with me, and if I win, I’ll give you bread.”

“You? With me?”

Yang Ga-hyun laughed as if it was absurd.

It was a laugh that was almost like a mockery, but it wasn’t unusual.

Even if you are like me, if a kid like me asks you to bet on arm wrestling, you will laugh at me.

“One finger.”

“Still, it’s not balanced. Bring another one.”

“It’s okay if you look at it moderately, can’t you even control your strength?”

“Let’s go to the tech fight?”

Yang Ga-hyun made an interesting expression, but called! Cried out loud.

“What are you going to do for me if you lose?”

“What do you want?”

Yang Ga-hyun pointed at my scarf.

“Take that off.”

He is very particular about just one piece of bread.

“Then don’t do it, the weight is not right.”

“Tsk… Ok. Buy me a cup of coffee when I give you feedback later.”

What is he talking about?

Where do I get the money to buy coffee?

‘This is why the daughters of rich families…’

I don’t think about considering the financial ability of the other person.

At the cafe Yang Ga-hyun goes to, the price is not good, so how can I buy it?

‘With that money, I can eat 2 bowls of rice soup at the restaurant I drool over this morning!’

“Wouldn’t that be more expensive than coffee?”

“Why are you being so strict?”

Do you know the sadness of a person without money?

“Okay. One act of cuteness, isn’t it light enough?”

Aegyo.

As a man, it’s very embarrassing to act cute to a woman, but you have to act cute to give a buff anyway.

You can think of it as practicing in advance.

‘And there’s no guarantee that you’ll lose.’

I held out my aching right hand to Yang Gahyeon.

-Thumb!

Yang Ga-hyun’s hand, which seemed to be about 1.5 Times the size of mine, grabbed my hand tightly.

“Hey! You decided to do it with just one finger.”

“Don’t worry, I’ll match your strength. I’ll beat you thoroughly with skill.”

It doesn’t matter how you lose.

I just had to make up a reason to go to the infirmary.

“Start!”

As soon as I made the start sound, I pushed her arm with all my strength, but she didn’t budge.

Embarrassed, he raised his head, and Yang Ga-hyun asked, “What is this cute creature?” He was looking at me with that expression.

“They said it would match my strength.”

“Did you believe that? Noona wants to hear your cute acts~”

I was rather grateful for the playful Yang Ga-hyun.

Seeing that she was giving strength differently from her promise, it seemed like she could make a good excuse for her wrist hurting, and even if she lost, she didn’t even have to listen to her because she broke the promise.

“Aww!!”

Even if I pushed her hand with all my strength, her hand wouldn’t budge.

Rather, as she slowly lowered her hand, her hand approached the floor effortlessly according to her strength.

“Ah…”

Under such pressure, my already sore wrist hurt even more, so I dropped my hand to the floor.

“I won, right? Now try acting cute.”

“It’s okay. You didn’t listen to your promise either.”

Yang Ga-hyun came towards me as I frowned as I touched my wrist in pain that hurt more than I thought.

“What’s wrong? Your wrist hurts?”

“I think I’ve sprained it. I’ll go to the infirmary.”

“Okay, let’s go.”

Okay, so this alibi is complete.

I was worried about what would happen if Park Ji-soo didn’t see me, but Yang Ga-hyun had just entered a classroom with only me, so it didn’t seem like she was around here.

I was about to go outside excitedly, but Yang Ga-hyun called me from behind.

“Hey, Lee Joo-eun.”

“Huh?”

“It’s a present for my sister. Eat well.”

I managed to catch the castella that came flying suddenly.

“Instead, make sure to do aegyo later.”

“Yang Ga-hyun, you…”

Yes. Since you’re passing on cuteness in return, you can just accept it.

As a token of gratitude, I just bowed neatly and went outside, finally seeing the scenery of the hallway starting to fill up.

‘The time will be right when I go to the health room, get treatment, and eat castella.’

Something hit me hard as I moved to the infirmary.

When something like a huge piece of flesh, stronger than a fist, hit me, I bounced off and hit the wall.

“Aww… What is it?”

When I raised my head with annoyance, Park Ji-soo was looking down at me.

“Sorry, did you hurt a lot? Would you like to go to the health room with me?”

Her expression was calm, with no worries or guilt.
