chapter 13
13. It’s a real misconception, because it’s a nutritional supplement.
13. It’s a real misunderstanding, because it’s a nutritional supplement.
Red blood flowed from his mouth soaked in white clothes.
A patient who hastily takes out the medicine and eats it.
What if you even say, ‘Not much left…’?
It’s a story of life, no matter who you look at.
I hurriedly explained to Shin Shi-hwa.
“It’s a misunderstanding, sir.”
“..are you saying I misunderstood, student?”
“Yes, it is.”
I was taken aback for a moment, but calmly began to explain to her.
“This is actually a nutritional supplement. There is a set time per day.”
“Ah.. Nutrients..”
“Yes, it’s a nutritional supplement. It’s because I’m sleeping and I haven’t eaten yet.”
“Ah… that’s right…”
Also, Mr. Shin Shihwa.
I’ve only seen her for one day, but she doesn’t seem to misunderstand this absurd situation.
For nothing, I’m not a teacher at the Hero Academy.
But why are you so anxious?
Shin Shi-hwa was staring into the air with blank eyes.
“Yeah.. That’s right. Nutrients..”
“Teacher?”
You understand correctly, right?
I wanted to ask with my mouth, but my lips did not come off.
No, you can’t believe it just by looking at it.
In her mind, it seemed as if a morning drama was already playing.
Even if the lifespan is shortened, it’s not like that.
At the moment when Shin Shi-hwa’s misunderstanding deepens, a face sticks out of her side.
“Uh, what. Are you awake? The teacher is there too.”
“Uh, long time no see.”
I waved my hand to express my pleasure.
The main character with a lively voice is Yoo Ha-yeon.

Judging by the order, it seemed that Shin Shi-hwa arrived first after the end of the ritual.
The tip of Yoo Ha-yeon’s gaze touched my red-dyed patient uniform.
“That..that..!! Maybe..”
“No, not that. This is absolutely not blood. Don’t shout.”
“It’s blood, that’s..!!”
Oh shit
I wished I never got caught by Yoo Ha-yeon.
If I tell her that I’m sick, it’s unimaginably annoying.
Ha-yeon Yoo jumped into the bed as if it were hitting me.
“Where did you bleed because of the pain..!? Who hit you? Is that Na Yuna? That bitch I…”
“It’s not like that…! Let me start with this…! Uh, uh. It’s torn..!”
In my opinion, Ha-yeon Yoo seems to be a primitive man who can’t unbutton.

Just pull it out to the side.
I couldn’t understand why they were trying to take it off than that.
There is no further dialogue with Yoo Ha-yeon.
I decided to ask for help with my eyes.
‘Help me, sir.’
She seemed still delusional, but as the situation grew louder, she seemed to have come to her senses.
Please, save me.
Blink blink.
My passionate rescue signal to her.
After reading his eyes, Shin Si-hwa began to open her tightly closed mouth.
“Stop it. Ha-yeon Yoo! It’s not what you think..!”
The effect wasn’t bad.
The sleeves of my clothes that Yoo Ha-yeon was holding were getting weaker.
“I’m not thinking. What does that mean?”
Yoo Ha-yeon tilted her head and looked at Shin Shi-hwa.
Are you saying that Si-Jun Han is not sick?
Did you bleed like this?
It was a question that asked for an explanation.
Shin Shi-hwa looked into my eyes and nodded as if he had decided on something.
“Yeah, that’s right. Si-Jun Han is not sick at all..!”
Outrageous lies.
No, then what is this blood?
Shin Shi-hwa continued to explain.
“That’s not blood. It’s the tomato juice I… spilled…”
Shin Shi-hwa explains the sadness with an expression that is hard to bear.
Something.
Something is wrong.
But I couldn’t say anything in the current situation.
“Is it true? Are you really sick?”
If it turns out that I am sick, she will do anything to get me back home.
Shin Shi-hwa suited my lies.
Thoughts seem to be different.
I said as if nothing had happened.
“..Of course. When did you see me sick? The teacher made a mistake trying to squeeze the juice.”
“Awesome..!”
When Shin Shi-hwa finished my words, she covered her mouth with her hand.
As if trying to hold back the sadness.
I don’t know what we’d look like in her eyes, but I didn’t want to think about it.
Even if I explained it, I didn’t think I would believe it.
That was already the realm of certainty.
“It was tomato juice..!”
At that time, Yoo Ha-yeon smiles broadly.
I have chronic rhinitis, so I’m glad I can’t smell blood.
Yeah, you’d be better off smiling like that.
But rather than that.
“For now, will you come out? Let’s change some clothes.”
“ah.”
Patient clothes soaked in blood.
I had to change clothes to go out.
***
“Well then, sir. We’ll go in.”
“That… yes. Please enter carefully.”
The two students greeted me, the teacher, and headed out of the health room.
“You haven’t been to school yet? I really like the cafe here! Let’s go together!”
“…it’s annoying.”
“Don’t talk and follow me..!”
The male student left the room as if being dragged by the female student.
Those students grew up together from childhood, so to speak, they are childhood friends.
Knowing each other best.
Students in such a relationship.
Bang.
When they left, the door closed and my body fell to the floor like a doll with a broken string.
Small tears of sadness poured out of my eyes.
“How, at such an age…”
During class, news came that a student had lost consciousness.
My name is Si-Jun Han.
I saw him during an interview, and he looked weak.
It was a student who caught sight of something.
The injury was not very serious, but I heard that he had to rest because his physical strength was low.
I was also surprised to find out that Han Si-jun’s opponent was Na Yuna.
‘Are you even slightly ahead of Na Yuna?’
The stats were nothing to look at, but there was still one room.
According to the rumors, it is said that he used magic even without a core, but he is a student with something unique to him.
I thought he was a promising student.
However, Han Si-jun’s words he heard in the health room were shocking.
‘Not long left…’
Han Si-jun’s self-talk as he vomits blood and swallows pills.
It was as if he knew only the day he was going to die.
I feel like my heart is sinking.
But what was even more painful was Si-Jun Han’s lie.
‘Ah, this is a nutritional supplement.’
Han Si-jun calmly speaks as if nothing happened.
How many lies have I been told, how can I be at peace?
He was not given the taken for granted, the future that was given to us.
I wanted to ask what disease he was suffering from, but the predictable part was already there.
Absence of an innate magic core.
Resulting heart disease.
The blood spewing out of his mouth was proof of that.
To do that for a moment.
A person who should not be able to find out that he is a dead man appeared there.
‘This is blood..!!’
What do we do.
He wouldn’t want to let him know he’s dead.
Such a Han Si-jun has sent me a vague look.
‘Please, save me.’
Please don’t tell me
I don’t want my childhood friends to ever find out that I’m dying.
‘My.. it’s the tomato juice I spilled..’
Actually I didn’t spill tomato juice.
It’s only Sijun Han’s blood.
My lying conscience seemed to be stabbed with countless spears.
Worse than that, it was a lie he told himself.
‘..Of course. When did you see me sick?’
He’s not sick at all
As he talked to his childhood friend, his expression was ephemeral and sad.
A student with such a sad story.
There was nothing I could do for the rest of his time.
You are truly an incompetent teacher.
“What should I do..”
For his little time left.
For Yoo Ha-yeon, who will be shocked when she learns the truth.
What to do, she began to ponder.
***
The red sun shining through the window.
A flaming sunset.
It was illuminating the way we went.
By the way.
“Do you know what my unique ability is?”
“Wait a minute, isn’t it because you’ve gained strength and become stronger?”
“…I know.”
You don’t seem to know about the cost.
Perhaps it was as if I had covered it well in the part I couldn’t remember.
So, I walked along Yoo Ha-yeon’s side.
The problem is that the place I go to is a cafe.
“Are you sure you want to go to the cafe today? I’m tired.”
“Because it’s good to go to a cafe every day? It’s always fun and exhilarating? The health teacher told me that you were sleepy and slept~”
..it was painful.
Do you know what it feels like to have a magic core come and go?
Probably, she will never know for the rest of her life.
I answered Yoo Ha-yeon, who hummed with excitement.
“..only for today. I’ll never go next time.”
“Really? I’m going! Nothing else to say!”
Heh heh~
Yoo Ha-yeon sings a hum with excitement.
In the end, I fell into a position of being dragged by her.
I don’t know why I like cafes.
Isn’t it okay to just drink a maksim at home and eat it?
A cafe that is not cost-effective.
It seemed like I would never understand it for the rest of my life.
Ha-yeon Yoo spoke to me as if she were a teacher.
“If the cafe wasn’t fun, it’s because the person you went with wasn’t fun. It’s more about the people than the place.”
“Did I go there the most with you?”
“..the cafe must have been bad.”
𝑀𝑒𝑒
I laughed at Yoo Ha-yeon.
I just don’t like cafes.
Yoo Ha-yeon, an extrovert, didn’t seem to understand me.
“there.”
The moment we laughed at Yoo Ha-yeon, another voice mixed in between us.
I turned my head to confirm the identity of the voice.
“..nayuna?”
“Hello. Looks like you’re awake.”
I woke up, but what happened to him?
Did I come here because I wanted to answer the question of being friends?
Unlike before, Na Yuna put a butterfly pin on the back of her hair.
Ha-yeon Yoo began to be wary of Na Yuna.
“Wait, why are you looking for Sijun?”
A situation in which the loser comes to the winner and argues.
Ha-yeon Yoo seems to have been misunderstood by such a situation, and there are a lot of sharp edges.
I said it was okay to Ha-yeon Yoo and asked Na Yuna.
“What’s your business? There’s no way you’d just come to me.”
“that’s right!”
Whoops.
A little wind blowing.
Nayuna answered me with a slight smile.
“You want to be friends with me. I’m here to answer.”
“What..what..!? Friend..!?”
Hayeon Yoo started looking at Na Yuna and me in turn.
Friend.
Those words might be light for Yoo Ha-yeon, but not for me.
I smiled at Nayuna and answered.
“Shall we go to the cafe and talk?”
Today’s cafe may be louder than usual.
