“Kim-kun has a great body. What kind of exercise do you usually do? No matter how much I exercise, my muscles don’t stick well.”

Hattori, who sat next to me, chatted like a sparrow.

The appearance is also the appearance, and since she has just made a public name, it is not strange to hide her face, but she did not care about that at all.

“By the way, didn’t you say you came from Osaka? You hardly speak the dialect.”

In response to Karen’s question, who was eating udon at the seat opposite, Hattori waved her hand and said.

“Ah~ Not all people from Osaka speak dialects. I don’t know if it’s just a difference in accent. The Internet has developed these days.”

“Well, that’s it too.”

Karen nodded and ate the fish paste on top of the udon noodles.

Then Hattori asked in reverse.

“But what’s your relationship?”

“uh?”

“No, what should I say, because the gender ratio of the group doesn’t seem right.”

Usually it’s half and half, or women go with women and men with men, right?

It was Sasha who had been silently answering the question.

“It’s a competition.”

“Huh? Competition?”

“Everyone is aiming for Kim Yoo-sung’s girlfriend.”

“Wow, what?!”

“Wait! Sasha-chan!”

The other two looked at each other in amazement.

But Sasha, who made the explosive remark, asked, “Is there something wrong?” with a nonchalant expression.

In fact, it was me who had the most difficulty reacting in this situation.

No matter what choice I made, it didn’t seem like it would end well.

It is certain that at least the relationship between the three of them will go wrong.

So as I stopped my chopsticks with a rigid expression on my face, Hattori said with her eyes twinkling.

“It sounds like a dirty square relationship in a drama! I like that kind of thing!”

“……”

I was momentarily at a loss for words.

What is Insa?

At least it was clear to me that it wasn’t a race I could understand.

***

Lunchtime ended in an awkward atmosphere.

After the time of not knowing whether we were eating with our mouths or our noses, we returned to class.

I am well aware that this ambiguous relationship will have to end someday.

Because he knows well that the end will not be good in the end if you force yourself to procrastinate.

Every time I watched a love comedy, I cursed the stuffy main character who didn’t understand the hearts of the heroines, but I couldn’t laugh because I was in that position.

Does the ending where everyone is happy doesn’t really exist in reality?

“Come on~ Now~ I know you’re sleepy from lunch, but it’s the first day of the new semester, so let’s go strong! Everyone, please rub the shoulder of the person in front of you!”

“Yoosung-ah, I’ll beg you gently.”

The question posed to me once again, I was struggling to find a way to convince myself.

“Aww! Aww! Tap! Tap!”

“Oh sorry.”

I apologized to Satoru, who was about to die because he was sick, and hurriedly took my hand off his shoulder.

As I was thinking about something else, I got stronger without realizing it.

“I’ve been there.”

Saya, who had not been seen for a while, came back to my side when school was over and she was going home.

“You look bad.”

“There was such a thing.”

Saying that, Saya looked around and closed her mouth with a grim expression.

No matter how I looked at it, it felt like something was seriously broken, so I spoke to her in a gentle voice.

“Don’t do that, just tell me. I’ll give you advice.”

Then Saya, who was biting her lips as to whether there was a conflict, said after a lot of thought.

“… Ryuji, you seem to be doing well.”

“Well, I guess.”

I don’t know exactly what it is, but I’m solving some of the original incidents that he must have been through, so he’s probably having a relatively calm time.

Because Maiya ended up as a true heroine in the original story.

“I thought it would be okay if Ryuji didn’t remember me. But, I guess it wasn’t. When I saw Ryu-chan eating a lunch box together with Maya, I was suddenly moved. Normally, it would have been me sitting next to him.”

“As a human being, it is inevitable to be jealous. If there is another person next to the person you like.”

I have never been in a relationship, but I have tried painful unrequited love.

When I witnessed a girl I had a secret crush on when I was in my freshman year of college leaving a motel with a guy I didn’t know, honestly, my mentality changed.

“By the way, when did you first meet Ryuji?”

“When I was young, I lived next door.”

It sounds like this is also a childhood friend.

“Huh? So, you’ve known Maya too?”

“I didn’t know at first. After Ryuji introduced me to the playground later, we became friends.”

oh… Ah… .

Naturally, the situation was pictured in my head.

There were two childhood friends who liked the same person, and one of them broke up while moving, and the other naturally took the seat next to him.

“Then what are you going to do now?”

Then Saya shook her head with a dark expression.

“I honestly don’t know. At first, I thought it would be nice to just look at your face, but seeing your face makes me more greedy.”

“If you are greedy?”

“If I had been alive, if I hadn’t left this town at the very least, I would have been able to make more memories with Ryuji.”

It was a word with a strong regret.

And, the more she spoke, the more the black energy slowly crept up around her body.

‘Isn’t this a bit dangerous?’

I hurriedly changed the topic of conversation when I saw Saya’s increasingly darkening atmosphere.

“Oh, how about doing this then?”

“… how?”

“Nana and Sasha are lending you a body. Then can’t we talk to Ryuji for a little while?

With this, even Ryu, who can’t see ghosts, will be able to talk to Saya.

And, maybe it felt like my proposal was more of a mystery than I had expected, and a gloomy face turned to Saya’s face.

“That’s good! Let’s do it right now!”

“No, it’s unreasonable right now. You don’t even have to ask Sasha for forgiveness. Be patient until tomorrow.”

“You can use your body!”

“Imagine a rice cake daemon like me speaking a girly tone.”

「Wow hey hey」

“Look. Sasha would be better?”

“It’s an angle to admit.”

“Stop the internet at home. What’s the tone, that’s it.”

It was definitely not like this at first, but he said he was bored, so he only used the internet on his cell phone, and his tone of voice changed a bit.

Anyway, I was relieved to see that Saya had stopped turning black, so I thought I should ask Sasha when I get home.

***

The first time I met him was through the window.

Before my father’s business flourished, I lived in a two-story house.

‘hi. My name is Ryuji. What’s your name?’

‘I’m ████.’

‘Why are you always in bed? Are you sick?’

‘yes. The doctor said it was a disease whose name is unknown. You say your heart rate is much slower than other people’s because your body is naturally cold?’

‘What game are you playing? envy. I don’t like my mom buying new games.’

‘Then do you want to join us?’

He always talked to me with a smile on my face when I couldn’t go out because I was sick.

Due to my mother’s overprotectiveness, she was the first friend I made for me, who had always stayed at home.

It was a pleasure to spend time with him.

I haven’t lived that long, but the three years I spent in that house were probably the densest I’ve ever lived.

He left me with many memories.

As my father’s business gradually prospered, and when my mother, who was exhausted from nursing care, left me with a caregiver and went outside, she was the only one with me.

‘Would you like to go to the playground secretly?’

It was the first playground I went to with him.

If my mother had known, she would have been very upset, but to be honest, I really liked it.

That’s why playing time with Ryuji was so important to me.

For me, who doesn’t get along well with other children, Ryuji went out and gave it to me.

Thanks to this, I was able to make many other friends besides Ryuji.

But Ryuji was the most special friend among them.

No, he was the most precious person.

The day I left the village due to my parents’ circumstances, I made an appointment with Ryuji.

‘After this, when I become an adult, will you welcome me as my bride?’

A childish promise I made to my young heart.

Maybe it’s because I wanted him to run away with me.

I wanted to run away from the stuffy cage.

I always wanted to be with him.

And Ryuji, who heard my request, looked startled at first, then nodded with a cheerful smile.

‘great. Next time you grow up, I’ll make you s*xy!’

It was probably the most powerful word for me.

Abandoned by his parents, recuperating alone in a mansion deep in the mountains, and fighting endless diseases, those words remained in the corner of his mind.

In the end, he died alone in a mansion where no one came, but it was okay.

At least I was able to take the good memories with me.

It must have been

“……”

When I woke up in the morning, I rubbed my eyes and got up with an uneasy feeling.

“Is this guy’s dream?”

I looked at Saya’s face, still in dreamland.

This guy usually pretended to be strong, but was he actually thinking like that?

To be honest, it was a sad story.

I promised to get married when I was young, but one of them dies first.

Even like me, I felt like I would not be able to achieve success because of the lingering regrets.

Anyway, in the end, all I could say to him, the third person, was comfort.

In the end, it is a problem that the parties must solve.

I checked the messenger I sent to Sasha last night.

Fortunately, there was a reply.

[It is possible. When can I make time?]

First of all, we succeeded in recruiting the most important person.

I’ll have to find a place next time.
