I Confessed To You By Mistake - Episode 100 (Complete)
Action was taken quickly. Augustine Rogers was kicked out of his dormitory before the weekend.
I heard that it was decided that he would commute to school from a homestay near the school. The host seemed to have a psychological counselor’s license.
I overheard the group of potatoes talking loudly, saying that they were so stressed out that they barely left their rooms before the rumor spread out of control.
“What are you thinking about?”
“uh?”
Hayden, who was lost in thought about Kendrick’s question, laughed and said it was nothing. Even though she didn’t do anything, just looking at Kendrick’s face made her smile.
“I feel like I keep getting stuck on question 17.”
“I don’t quite understand.”
“I’ll help you unpack it.”
Kendrick pulled a chair closer and sat down next to Hayden.
Despite the fact that they decided to date a few days ago, their daily lives did not change much. After a brief pause, they decided to resume their study time in Hayden’s room, so the two were currently sitting across from each other in Hayden’s room and studying.
This was because the reality that immediately faced us was serious even before we could kiss, the backs of each other’s hands brush, and the feeling of floating above the clouds.
First class on Monday, I was surprised by the score on the test paper I received back, but for a moment the teacher struck me directly.
“… 42 points?”
“Hayden, I thought Jin was catching up well, but it looks like he had a hard time as expected. “If you need supplementary classes, please let me know at any time.”
“I guess I made some mistakes this time and my score came out low.”
In response to the teacher’s distrustful gaze, Hayden said he would make up for it later, and from that day on, Hayden had no choice but to call Kendrick over and focus on his studies as before.
“There’s been a lot going on lately, so it’s only natural.”
Kendrick comforted her by saying it was just this one time, but Kendrick’s test paper had a score of 98 written on it, so she wasn’t comforted at all.
It was almost bedtime and Kendrick was packing his books into his bag.
He called Hayden in a cautious voice.
“It’s over there.”
“huh?”
“… “What do you have planned this weekend?”
Since it was only Tuesday, there was nothing set in stone, but there was a paper test on the very next Monday. Hayden had already decided what to do in his mind.
But Hayden wasn’t that oblivious. The fact that he was asking that much obviously meant that he had something else he wanted to do.
“No, it’s not there yet, why?”
In response to Hayden’s question, Kendrick traced his lower lip with his tongue and then opened his mouth.
“Then do you want to go see a movie together?”
Sure enough, it was a date request. It was also our first date just the two of us.
It was natural that we had started dating, but it was clear that we were both nervous.
It really felt like we were dating again, and my hand holding the pen gained strength.
“Of course!”
Studying was important, but the romance that finally ended was so sweet.
So I realized too late that I had forgotten one important fact.
***
puck-!
“ah.”
As Hayden turned the corner of the school, he suddenly hit his shoulder and groaned.
“are you okay?”
I nodded roughly to what Owen, who was walking with me, was saying, and when I looked ahead, I saw the people walking behind me making jokes and frowning as if they were the victims.
“I apologize if I bumped into you.” Hayden Verratti?”
Then the group of potatoes, who were naturally trying to place the blame on Hayden, soon recognized him and their faces hardened.
“I think I was the one who hit it.”
“… sorry.”
As Hayden spoke fiercely, sweeping the shoulder he hit, the group of potatoes quickly changed their stance.
“sorry. “This guy walks a little rough.”
“Ah, Mr.”
“let’s go!”
Before Hayden could say anything, they talked among themselves and quickly left.
The effect of the reflection was greater than expected. Although they pretended to be kings within the private school, in the end, they were raised nobles who had never committed a single serious mistake.
Perhaps because they were so scared that it would be revealed that they had made a vulgar bet, the group of potatoes stopped arguing about this for no reason.
“What are they?”
Owen shook his head, looking at the back of the group as they left.
“They’re nothing special.”
Instead of saying in detail what happened, Hayden summarized them in one sentence and then walked back up the stairs to the classroom as if nothing had happened.
Owen, who was standing next to him and walking side by side, put his arm on Hayden’s shoulder and said.
“Anyway, did I hear such nonsense from them?”
“What are you talking about?”
As usual, I thought it was just a light joke and asked lightly.
“They say you two are dating.”
Come to think of it, I haven’t even told Owen that the two of you are dating yet. After the fireworks were over, she went back to the dormitory and Owen, who was worried about her, bombarded her with questions and missed her timing. After that, she completely forgot about her senior’s talk and her paper exam. .
“… Why doesn’t that make sense?”
Hayden asked instead of confessing right away. It wasn’t a sarcastic comment or a joke, it was because I was curious as to why it was said to be absolutely ridiculous.
There was also a calculation that I would have to decide how to answer based on Owen’s answer.
In response to Hayden’s question, Owen blinked innocently and said as if it was obvious.
“If you were really dating, you would have told me first.”
“… ah.”
The moment I heard the answer, guilt washed over me like a tidal wave. I should have said it sooner, I regretted it, but it was already too late.
***
Kendrick and I naturally stood on either side of Owen after school. Owen, who knew nothing, looked at me and Kendrick with wide eyes.
“Aren’t you studying?”
“I’m going to rest today.”
“okay?”
“And you and Laura were supposed to meet up before. “Laura also happened to have the time today.”
“Of course!”
“I don’t think it would be a bad idea for the four of us to meet, including Kendrick. let’s go.”
“huh.”
Owen followed Kendrick and I to the cafe without any doubts, as if he was happy that I had asked him to come out.
“Do you want something to drink?”
“uh?”
“I asked you to come, so I’ll shoot.”
After glossing over the conversation we had on the stairs earlier, I kissed Kendrick. We decided to tell the truth with our own mouths before checking the facts elsewhere.
“Oh yea!”
Owen, who knew nothing, chose a drink with an excited face. The sight pricked her conscience and she felt the pain intensify.
‘I have to speak quickly.’
Kendrick and I must have been thinking the same thing as we made eye contact without Owen knowing and nodded heavily.
After Laura, who came a little late, was seated, I wasted no time in telling Owen the truth.
“You know what you said in the hallway earlier.”
“What?”
“Me and Kendrick.”
“huh. “That rumor?”
“Actually, that… “It’s not a rumor.”
“uh?”
Owen’s mouth stopped sucking on his drink. When she tried to speak in front of Owen, her mouth was dry and words could not come out easily.
Kendrick must have noticed that and naturally spoke for me.
“Really.”
“It’s true. “Is there a rumor that she’s dating him?”
Owen looked at me and Kendrick in disbelief.
“Why are you so surprised again?”
When Laura, who was watching the three of us from the side, spoke with a sour expression on her face, Owen turned his head and looked at her so much that he made a loud noise.
“Did your sister know too?”
“Understand.”
Laura spoke quickly instead of me. Owen blinked her eyes dumbly, then raised her eyebrows as if she was finally understanding the situation and she asked me.
“Then, I was the only one who didn’t know that my sister knows, Kevin knows, Augustine knows, and even Thomas knows. “Is this it?”
I could understand how Owen felt betrayed by the fact that the two of them were dating without him from his group of friends, and that he was the last to find out about it.
If it had been anyone else, I would have wanted to move away, but I didn’t want to do that to Owen.
“… No, that’s true if you say it that way. “Everyone found out by chance, and you are the first person to say it directly.”
Everyone caught on to the fact that it was truly an unavoidable situation, and when they explained that Owen was the only one who had spoken directly, the wrinkles between Owen’s eyebrows smoothed out.
“first… ?”
“I wanted to tell my friend directly.”
Owen softened slightly at my words, but suddenly asked with a face full of suspicion, as if he had realized that this was all a deliberate setup.
“Did you bring your sister here and buy her a drink because you were afraid I might get angry?”
“huh.”
Owen’s expression immediately fell as if he was touched by the fact that he cared so much about him.
But soon Laura raised one hand and said:
“Well, Hayden, that may have been your intention, but I came because I had something else to say.”
“What do you want to say?”
When asked if she could come on the same day, Laura had a different reason for saying she would come.
“I thought you cared, so I wanted to tell you. “I mean Emily.”
What Laura wanted to talk about was the news that Kendrick’s former classmate and Laura’s friend had transferred to a new school.
“I said I was making a scrapbook of unrelated Kendrick photos.”
“… scrapbook?”
Kendrick’s face hardened at those words, and his unpleasant expression was clearly revealed. Where do his photos of himself come from and why do he collect them?
“I didn’t know it would get this big, but I guess the dorm contacted Emily’s parents.”
Laura shrugged, saying, “I really didn’t know it would end up like this.”
“You can even transfer schools with just that?”
“After hearing this, it seems like Emily’s house cares a lot about reputation. “There’s a politician at home.”
Laura said as if it was no big deal and took a sip of her drink.
“It’s also tied to our house.”
I wondered if they were transferring schools too quickly when nothing had happened yet, but Kendrick added a short explanation as if Emily’s transfer made sense.
In short, it was said that measures were taken quickly to prevent rich people from blushing at each other.
“… I see.”
Even though Kendrick was adamant that they had no relationship, it still felt odd because Emily was secretly concerned that she seemed to like Kendrick.
“Sometimes there are kids who dramatically think they are the main characters.”
It felt even weirder because the main character in the novel actually said that.
Owen, who had been quietly listening to the conversation between Laura and me, immediately nodded as if he understood.
“There must have been a reason why you became so enthusiastic about studying again within a few days.”
Owen, who seemed to have lost all his anger by now, gulped down the rest of his drink, rested his chin on one side, looked at the two of us in turn, and said.
“huh?”
What does dating have to do with studying?
Owen looked puzzled at my questioning gaze.
“Aren’t you trying to go to the same university?”
“ah.”
Suddenly, I remembered the conversation I had with Coco when I was feeding them. At that time and even now, at my current level, it was too early to think about college, so I didn’t even think about it.
My grades were miserable right now, so I had no choice but to raise my score.
Owen, who thought more about my and Kendrick’s future than I did, immediately smiled and said,
“I wish the three of us could go to the same university.”
Come to think of it, this guy, Yeoju’s younger brother, was also good at studying.
“I know.”
Kendrick said he agrees and slightly curled the corner of his mouth.
Kendrick, who went through everything with me, had no problems with his grades, and I was the only one who had problems.
The story of the idiot in my family telling me to take over the family business if things didn’t work out seemed to echo in my ears.
Since they had the skills to go to a prestigious university, it was impossible for them to go to university just like me. So, I was the only one riding a poop rope.
“… Shall we go now?”
Suddenly, a sense of fear about reality came over me. Now was not the time to enjoy the sweetness of love.
Kendrick seemed lost in thought, but suddenly came to his senses at my words and lowered his head.
While Laura took Owen away for a moment to talk to her, Kendrick naturally stood next to me and held my hand.
I thought it was a bit early for him to ask me to go to the same college after only dating him for a few days, but there was no harm in preparing in advance.
Even if you think that I can’t improve my grades in a short period of time, doesn’t Kendrick think it’s too early?
I glanced at Kendrick just in case, and he covered his face with one hand and muttered quietly.
“I know it’s a little early to say this.”
“huh?”
“If we go to the same university, I want to live together.”
I couldn’t help but burst out laughing when I saw Kendrick thinking much further ahead than me. Naturally, he found Kendrick, who I’m sure they were dating by then, to be unbearably cute.
“Let’s think about it once we go to the same university.”
“I’ll hold you tight.”
Kendrick said in a somewhat solemn voice.
The warmth of our holding hands felt pleasant.
<The end.>
