I Became an Academy Fraudster

Episode 236

She stood in front of the elevator holding a large cup and a paper box.

This size is enough to combine two popcorns.

While eating popcorn, our fingers touch, then we look at each other, and then we approach each other…

Okay. Good.

[The door opens.]

Soon the elevator door opened.

She soon went inside.

However, there was not enough space for her to stand.

As expected, as it was Christmas, the inside was overflowing with couples.

Jeong Ha-yeon looked at what the numerous couples inside were holding.

Everyone was wearing a box of popcorn, a cup, and two straws.

All the couples in it, without a single exception.

“..As expected.”

Jeong Ha-yeon smiled slightly.

I’m not strange. I am normal. Nam Doyoon That guy is just so dull.

It would have been nice to know a little more about women… But no.

“…But I don’t hate it.”

She muttered in a low voice.

Because it’s better to have less experience with women than to have more… And above all, if I become that guy’s first woman…

They say a man’s first love is special… If that happens, that guy will make a dream of me..

What if…

“Over there..”

A guest inside said to her.

“Yes?”

She said, started.

“Aren’t you pressing the floor number?”

Jeong Ha-yeon looked around.

Everyone around her was looking at her strangely.

“Ah!”

It’s because she wasn’t pressing the floor number.

I was too preoccupied with my thoughts.

Ah… I’m embarrassed.

“Haha. Thank you.”

She said with a shy smile.

Soon she pressed the 8 button.

Ding-

The current number of elevator floors is 3.

After a while, you will arrive at the 8th floor.

She looked at the large box of popcorn and the large drink cup in her hands.

And, the two straws in her hands

The plan itself is perfect. If only I had this… Obviously… It will be possible.

However.. There is one problem.

“…Uhm..”

She bit her lip.

What should I say to Nam Do-yoon

I think it would be strange to suddenly suggest combining two popcorns into this big box of popcorn.

It’s so random. Let’s suddenly combine what’s in a normal popcorn box…

Also, let’s combine not only the popcorn box but also the cola inside it…

I think people might think it’s strange if I suddenly say it… Even if I think about it, it’s strange.

No, it’s not strange, but if he doesn’t know anything about women, there’s a high chance he’ll think it’s strange.

4th floor

[Arrived at the 4th floor. The elevator doors open. Take care everyone. ]

An announcement sound was heard and soon the guests came rushing out.

5th floor

[Arrived at the 5th floor. The elevator doors open. Everyone, please be careful.]

An announcement sound was heard, and all the guests got off here.

She was the only one in the elevator right now.

6th floor

7th floor

Even at this moment, the elevator was going up at high speed toward the 8th floor without stopping.

Not long after, you arrive at the 8th floor and encounter Nam Do-yoon.

Then, I have to explain this big box of popcorn and cup in my hand. What should I say? But I can’t suddenly throw it away now. Then there’s no point in going down.

No matter how much I think about it, I wonder if I did something pointless.. There might be a way to go slower, but am I in too much of a hurry..

Should we just change the method a little?

“…No.”

Jeong Ha-yeon shook her head.

“Why are you acting like this?”

Since when did you care so much about what other people think?

It’s so uncharacteristic of me. It would be much more natural to just do it like I normally do.

It would be much more me-like and correct if I just took the popcorn boxes Nam Do-yoon was holding and poured them into the container I was holding. Okay. That’s right. I am who I am..

“But.. Nam Do-yoon.”

Ha-yeon Jeong said, chewing her lips.

The problem was the ideal type that Nam Do-yoon talked about.

A warm and friendly woman… It’s so far from me.. What on earth should I do..

Tiring-

Soon we arrived at the 8th floor.

[Arrived at the 8th floor. Just get off.]

As soon as the elevator beeped, she got out of the elevator.

Then he started walking towards the theater.

Soon I saw Nam Do-yoon standing in a long line in the distance

Jeong Ha-yeon stared blankly, not knowing what she was seeing.

Among the many people, everyone else was blurred out and only he was visible.

I really didn’t understand what they meant by saying that other people are pixelated and only that person is visible. But… This is really possible. I understand what the line from the movie really means.

Among all those people, only Nam Do-yoon, standing tall and wearing an extremely stylish black coat, caught my eye. Was that guy really that tall? He’s big and looks bigger than usual.

Soon the guy turned this way.

“!!”

She looked away without realizing it.

Why did I suddenly turn my gaze? Why..

Ttubuk-

Ttubuk-

With the sound of shoes, the guy started coming towards us.

What should I say? What should I say..

Her heart started pounding.

Soon, I looked at the large popcorn box and large cup in her hands.

“…What is that?”

“Uh..Huh?”

Jeong Ha-yeon said with a puzzled expression.

“Is this a popcorn box?”

“Uh..Uh. That’s right.”

“…Huh? But, it’s a little strange.”

“What… “What?”

“No, it’s definitely a popcorn box, but there’s no popcorn in it, and neither is the cup…” “What is it? Why did you bring it?”

He said with a puzzled expression.

Jeong Ha-yeon chewed her lip.

Of course, you’re going to combine the popcorn and cola you’re holding…

Since that guy is dull, it’s only right for me to combine what he brought with him.

Yes, that’s right. It’s right to do that right now, but…

But..

Jeong Ha-yeon looked at Nam Do-yoon.

Normally, I could just take it out and do it without any hesitation, but today I just can’t..

I can’t seem to show my usual personality. I’m really worried about how he views me, and more than anything… For some reason, when I stand in front of that guy, I feel like I’m becoming a different person..

It’s really strange. It really is a very strange feeling.

She took a deep breath and barely opened her mouth.

“Hey.. Doyoon.”

Jeong Ha-yeon said, wriggling her fingers.

“Why?”

“Why don’t you put the popcorn you bought here and eat it together?”

“…?”

Nam Do-yoon made a puzzled expression.

“…”

Jeong Ha-yeon swallowed her saliva.

From that guy’s perspective, it’s natural that he doesn’t understand.

Suddenly, I put together healthy popcorn… Won’t that guy think I’m strange?

I have to think of some excuse…

What should I say to make him understand?

That popcorn container there is actually unhygienic? Or..

There is an event if I exchange this popcorn container?… No, not at all. All of them are not very appropriate.

Even at this moment, her head was still spinning, but no clear answer came to mind.

Nam Do-yoon soon smiled and approached her.

“..Why..Why”

The distance between that guy and me is too close.

If that guy touches your face just a little more… Until your lips touch

It looks much more handsome up close.

Jeong Ha-yeon looked away.

I don’t know why I turned it, but I feel like I won’t be able to survive without it..

However, a very fragrant smell wafted through her nose as well.

A sweet and alluring scent that makes you want to hug it right away.

It was truly a very captivating scent.

You can’t look at the eyes, but the scent…

“…”

Jeong Ha-yeon clenched her fists.

Nam Do-yoon looked at her and then said.

“I don’t know why they suddenly want to merge.”

“…”

“Let’s do whatever you want today.”

Huh? I heard wrong, right?

The guy who usually picks on me like that suddenly… Why?

Jeong Ha-yeon looked at Nam Do-yoon.

Then the guy laughed and said.

“Seeing as you came with such high expectations, it would be right to cater to you.”

“You said you were looking forward to when I came.”

“Have you seen everything on Instagram? “I was really looking forward to it.”

“I just posted this because I was bored.”

“Are you taking full body pictures wearing a dress because you’re bored?”

“…”

“And with a very expectant expression on his face.”

“Well.. It’s a lie to say I didn’t have expectations, but it’s not really because of you…”

Ha-yeon Jeong said hesitantly. I can’t think of the right words.

Why do I feel like such a fool when I stand in front of him..

Nam Do-yoon looked at Jeong Ha-yeon and then said with a grin.

“Okay. Then let’s pretend it wasn’t because of me.”

“I’m not pretending it’s not.. Really..”

Jeong Ha-yeon said, her cheeks turning red.

“I understand, so you can stop talking. I’ll adjust it to you. Especially.”

“Why?”

Jeong Ha-yeon looked at him and said.

“Because today is the Christmas you’ve been waiting for.”

Nam Do-yoon said with a wide smile.

Jeong Ha-yeon stared blankly at that.

I could only stare blankly.

It was a very innocent yet boyish smile.
