I Became an Academy Fraudster

Episode 249

“…Are you okay?”

Nam Doyoon looked to the side. Currently, I was looking around downtown Sapporu with Cha Ji-yoon.

After walking around for a while, it was already dark.

I walked around Sapporu with her almost all day today.

I saw a lot of really nice scenery and went to a lot of nice places. Her expression didn’t look very good. Even when I went to a nice place, I couldn’t concentrate as if something was bothering me.

“…Yes. It’s okay.”

Jiyoon Cha said. However, contrary to what she said, her expression did not look very good.

“…”

And I think I know why.

It was precisely after seeing that spot that her complexity started to look bad.

But, what was it that bothered you so much at home that made you look so bad?

I thought about it countless times, but I couldn’t come up with an answer… There is one catch.

No way..

I said those words carefully.

“By any chance… Do those words bother you?”

Nam Do-yoon said.

“…What are you talking about?”

“Uh… So.”

How should I bring this up? If I say it too openly, it seems like I’m drinking kimchi soup by myself.

But if you don’t bring it up and keep going like this, the atmosphere is so bad. What should I do..

There must be a good expression worth talking about…

Ah. That would be fine.”

“The Red Thread tale was quite interesting. What do you think, Jiyoon?”

However, there was no answer from her. I was thinking I might have asked something pointless

“…Where have you been?”

Nam Do-yoon looked to the side, but she wasn’t there. You were clearly walking in step, but where were you going?

When I looked back, there she was.

However, he stopped walking and stood there.

“…Personally, I don’t really like the Red Thread tale.”

She said, clenching her hands.

“…To be honest, folk tales were used as a means to justify the absoluteness of royal power in ancient times, but they have only been passed down to modern times. In the end, I think the essence is the same.”

She walked again.

“…So I don’t really attach much meaning to such stories. It has not been scientifically proven or anything.”

She said, looking at Nam Do-yoon. But, for some reason, I feel like I’m being persuaded, is it because of my mood?

“…I wonder why you asked this… Ah.”

She soon let out a sigh.

“…I went on a trip alone with Do-yoon, but I think I was too busy. “I’m sorry.”

She bowed her head and said.

“No. There is absolutely no need to apologize.”

Nam Do-yoon waved his hand and said.

“…No. It’s definitely my fault. Mr. Do-yoon also came with us for his valuable time, but I ruined the atmosphere all by myself.”

Cha Ji-yoon pinched his cheek strongly.

“uuu-“

“No! “What are you doing?”

“…I’m coming to come to my senses.”

She strongly pinched her cheek and pulled it.

Nam Do-yoon looked at that figure.

“Fuhu-“

However, when I saw that, I burst out laughing without even realizing it.

That look was quite cute

“Jiyun.”

“..ㅇ.ㄴ..Ene..Tell me.”

“It looks completely like ice cubes right now.”

“…Yes?”

She looked very surprised. She soon put her hand back to its original position.

And then we started walking together again.

However, I felt her keep glancing in this direction.

I felt Nam Do-yoon’s gaze and looked in that direction again.

“…?”

Her lips were moving as if she had something to say.

It seemed like he clearly had something to say, but he seemed unable to say it.

“Do you have something to say?”

“…I’m asking just in case.”

“Yes.”

After saying that, she hesitated for a long time and then spoke.

“…Are you disappointed in me after seeing that?”

“Yes?”

“…It just looks like a bingo. I’m not really that kind of person… Um.. What should I say?”

It seemed like she was fidgeting without knowing why.

“…I’m not the type of person who actually believes in such unfounded superstitions. However, I feel like I only showed a strange side of myself today..”

She made a serious expression. For some reason, he seemed to be blaming himself.

He seemed to think that I was probably disappointed.

Actually, if you think about it, her thoughts do make sense.

There was low pressure throughout the trip. No, more precisely, after seeing that point

I came here to have fun, but I ended up ruining the mood for no reason

However… No matter how I looked at it, it was a pointless worry.

Nam Do-yoon said.

“Um… Can I be really honest?”

“…Yes. “I will listen carefully to whatever you say.”

Cha Ji-yoon bit his lips tightly. My fingers were shaking a little, probably because I was expecting his direct evaluation.

“I’ve never really thought about it like that?”

“…Yes?”

“Hmm… It was rather cute.”

“…Yes?”

She said with her rabbit eyes open.

“So… To be honest, Jiyoon is usually so… I’m sorry for expressing this, but I guess he seemed like a person who wouldn’t come out even a drop of blood if you pricked him with a needle ..”

Nam Do-yoon said as he walked.

“…”

“But, what should I say about the way you look at your fortune today and feel anxious about it, or the way you pull your cheeks? It was quite a different look, but personally, I didn’t think it was a bad thing.”

“…”

Cha Ji-yoon stared at Nam Do-yoon.

“Rather, it was just cute.”

“…”

Her face turned red and angry.

“Then, let’s go now.”

Nam Do-yoon started walking forward.

But, this time, when I looked to the side, she wasn’t there. When I looked back, she was standing there.

However, this time, unlike before, my face was quite red.

“Aren’t you coming?”

He said with a puzzled expression.

“…I’m going. By the way, can I ask you one favor?”

“Yes. What is it?”

“..Can you repeat what you just said?”

“Yes? What do you mean?”

“…Isn’t that what you just said to me?”

Nam Doyoon shook his head.

What are you talking about? I don’t know what you’re talking about because so much has been said

Cha Ji-yoon stared at Nam Do-yoon. As expected… You are quite dull.

Should I just tell you directly..

She said, rubbing her body.

“…So… Isn’t that what you said?”

“What do you mean?”

“… Go… Cute… “

Her face lit up with anger as she said those words.

Then he stopped talking and shook his head.

“…It’s nothing. “Just go.”

“Fuhu-“

Nam Do-yoon chuckled.

“It was just really cute.”

“…Thank you..”

She sank her head to the ground and said.

Her cheeks were turning red.

Her face stood out even more in contrast to the white snow-covered city of Sapporu.

“…”

Nam Do-yoon looked to the side. You seem to feel a little better now and are walking at a steady pace.

While I was walking to the hotel.

I heard her voice next to me.

“…Doyun.”

“Yes. “Tell me.”

“…I’m just really curious, can I ask you one question?”

“Yes.”

“…”

For some reason, her expression looked quite solemn.

“…If Hayeon… Um..”

Instead of speaking, I kept pausing.

I think it’s probably a very difficult thing to say in words from her perspective…

What on earth is happening like that?

“…Would you like to have a quick drink?”

“Yes?”

“…There’s a simple bar over there, and I’ll have a little whiskey in moderation.”

Nam Do-yoon looked at Cha Ji-yoon. I thought it was a joke because she hates alcohol so much

His expression was quite serious. And for some reason, it seemed like there was a lot to say.

I think you can only say that after drinking alcohol..

“Yes. I understand.”

The two soon entered the bar. Perhaps because it was Christmas, there were a lot of people in the bar.

The two sat down in the corner. It was noisy because there were so many people, but you could hear each other talking in the corner seats.

Soon the bartender showed me the menu.

“…Are you okay with this?”

Jiyoon Cha said, pointing to the alcohol on the menu.

“…”

Nam Do-yoon saw the drink. The alcohol content is very strong… I wonder if you’ll be okay with it.

Soon I raised my head and looked at her.

It seemed like he had a lot to say. I think it’s probably a difficult thing to say with a clear mind.

“Yes. “Good.”

“…Then I will order it.”

Cha Jiyoon soon placed an order with the bartender.

Not long after that, alcohol came out.

“…I will follow you.”

“Thank you.”

Nam Do-yoon took a sip of his drink.

After that, we exchanged drinks and ate almost without saying anything.

However, her cheeks turned red, perhaps because she was a little drunk.

“…Doyun.”

Soon I heard her voice.

Nam Do-yoon raised his head and looked at her.

“Yes.”

“…I’m asking just in case… “

Even though she had been drinking, she seemed to hesitate a lot.

“Speak comfortably. “It’s really okay.”

“…”

She stared at him. Then he nodded and said.

“…If Hayeon confesses to Doyoon, what will you do?”

“Yes?”

Nam Do-yoon stared at Cha Ji-yoon.

I thought it was just a joke, but it seemed quite serious.

Did you ask me to drink to say this?

“Of course… “

I tried to answer right away…

Contrary to expectations, words did not come out easily.

Why..Me… No way
