Oh thanks for your hard work. Jiwon’s brother is definitively a no no and DG already saw the picture with his ex and bro and it didn’t ring a bell.

Thank you!

Oh my without knowing Jiwon is increasing the time he will see DG with his new friend

Well he’s trying to forget ASAP

Thank you very much...

*panels of Jiwon and DG getting ready respectively on a school day.*
--in their own respective house--
*getting out of the shower*
*putting on their shirt*
*putting on their pants*
(T/N: I'm on pants then shirt team but that's besides the point )
*adjusting themselves*
*on jiwon's side he sighs and on DG's side he just has a blank stare*
--time to go back to school--
****BJ ALEX LOGO CH 53****
Some professor: "Now, I think everyone had a good vacation~"
"Now that the 2nd semester has started, let's study hard now that we're refreshed."
"Please refrain from drinking alcohol~ hahaha"
"So, did everyone see the lecture plan?"
"Blah blah blah blah"
*in the classroom during the professor talking Jiwon is staring at DG who's sitting rows in front of him* (T/N: this was a nice change. Before it was DG burrowing his eyes at jiwon's back but now it's reverse)
"Classes conducted in the 1st semester...."
"This time I'll also invite people who are..."
"Blah blah blah"
...
Jiwon: ...
Professor: "So that wraps us class for today. See you next week~" *as he's leaving the classroom*
Class: "Thank you!" (T/N: in Korea you say thank you to your professor when they dismiss you)
Girl from student council: *goes up to podium for an announcement to the class* "Wait a minute. Please do not leave just yet. Student Council announcement"
Class: ugh
*4 student council representatives come to the from including Jiwon*
Girl/Kim seosae:"Hello, I am Kim SeoSae, director of event management. I'll keep this brief since I know you all are busy and I as well."
"I am going to be recruiting staff for a departmental event coming up in September"
"You know there's an interview right? The applicant should speak through the student council and..."
"Blah blah blah"
ㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡ
*Jiwon is looking at DG but DG is staring out into space in the opposite direction*
Jiwon: ...
*DG turns and their eyes meet*
Jiwon: *Surprise* !
*DG adverts eye contact and turns his head suddenly*
Jiwon: *shook* ....!
*next panel: furrows brows. Frustrated*
*panel of a flashback to when he realized he loves DG*
--since the day I admitted to myself I love Donggyun--
--I spent my day full of pain--
*panel of everyone tuned out and just them two in the classroom. Jiwon looking at DG who is sitting and facing the other way*
--In the meantime you probably had a harder time than me--
--every time I think about it my mind feels heavy--
--of course you wouldn't want to see me--
Jiwon: *hmm.../sigh*
--but even though you look away from me,
Jiwon: *out loud/muttered under his breath but not loud enough for the student council to hear* "you look nice..."
Jiwon: !!! *blushing/flustered* *oh no!*
--What am I doing all of a sudden? What's going on with me?--
*covering his mouth in embarrasment*
--it's been so long I had these awkward feelings--
Kim SeoSae: "Jiwon Sunbae,"
Jiwon: "Uh?"*back to reality*
Kim SeoSae:"As student president please say the final word."
Jiwon: "Uh..."
"...."
"Everyone's doing good?"
Class: "...Yes? Just that...?"
*murmur* *DG still avoiding eye contact. Looking uncomfortable*
Jiwon thinking: "What are you thinking about?"
Class: now we get to leave~
*class walking out*
Jiwon: !
*Jiwon notices DG's phone on the desk*
*two girls also notice it*
Random female classmate 1:"Uh! who's phone is this?"
Random female classmate 2: "I don't know. I'll have a class here."
Jiwon thinking: *as he's walking over* 'Obviously it's...'
Jiwon: "That there, this phone belongs to someone I know. I can take care of it"
Random classmates: *Surprised!* "ah...yes!"
*next panel Jiwon is sitting on the desk waiting for DG with his phone*
Jiwon thinking: 'I did not know what to write...'
*fidget phone*
*DOOR ABRUPTLY OPENS*
*DG huffing and puffing as he is entering*
DG: ....! "Ah...!
Jiwon: "This is your phone yes?"
"I was waiting because I thought it was you that left it."
*DG hurries over (tadakak) and Jiwon hands out his phone. *
DG: "...."
*DG takes the phone (T/N: DOES NOT SNATCH. it was a calm pass) but then he scurries off without saying anything. He looked uncomfortable and nervous*
Jiwon: *sigh*
--It's too late, --
*Jiwon sees DG looming over as he's leaving the class room*
--I still want to go after you--
*panel of jiwon's stoic face staring*
--I want to have face to face contact with you--
Another professor:"What? You want to switch your schedule? Okay?"
Jiwon: "Thank you professor. I'll work hard."
Professor: "Ugh, Jiwon...this is..."
(T/N: think he is trying to match his class schedule with DG's)
Jiwon thinking: '...this schedule is going to double the time I see him'
--So I got to make sure to use the time I have with Donggyun to the fullest--
--Some time after meeting Nam Donggyun I found out,--
Jiwon: !
*outside as Jiwon is walking going by his day he notices DG a short distance away sitting on a bench alone. DG doesn't notice Jiwon from where they are.*
--He is always alone.--
Jiwon:...
"Ah...?"
*someone walks up to DG and greets him*
*DG gets up enthusiastically*
*they're greeting each other cheerfully*
*the guy then gives DG a hug*
(T/N: their greetings are blurred out because Jiwon is too far away to hear. Can only see. Also the mystery guy has his face obscured probably until the next chapter)
Jiwon: ...!!!
*dramatic music*
Jiwon thinking: 'Who is that!?!"
-----------------------TBC -----------------
Oh snap. The infamous rival trope. Lol. I have a feeling it's either his brother or a childhood friend from his town and he was doing military service which is why we haven't seen him till now (well technically we still can't. Face reveal next chapter XD )
Conspiracy theory: it's jiwon's brother bwahahahahahahahaha jkjk.
I can't wait till they interact again. I want them to face each other XD author always leaving me in suspense (╯°Д °)╯╧╧
