Chapter 2 – The Owner and the Dog
“These days, my dog doesn’t listen to me when I speak, so the owner is in trouble.”
It’s a start again.
Yerin Han. This bitch is like this once I do something that offends her, or makes a slight mistake.
“Whoever made her educated, the owner says, rolls her eyes away?”
Oh fuck
I forgot that my head was down in my thoughts.
“I can’t. Get down on your knees and stay like a dog.”
Note the swear words coming out of your mouth. I laugh and get down on my knees and put my hands on the floor.
Like a beast walking on quadrupeds. My face turns red in embarrassment. Then, she gets up from her chair and comes towards me.
“Stay still.”
Human person.
It’s her favorite punishment. At least she’s light, so stamina isn’t an issue. She is also in a bad mood.
That’s not fucking good either. Do you know this and use it often?
“It will be like this until class starts. Any complaints? It’s our dog who did something wrong.”
“Yes…”
“Okay. Don’t talk anymore.”
Shut your mouth Stay still. A sign that you know
After a while, people gradually start to surround the surroundings.
“Wow, are you doing it again?”
“Is my puppy suffering a lot? Is he not hungry?”
“Shall I give you some bread? No… Are you sick of eating it normally?”
Listen with one ear, let it out with the other. Now, this is the best I can do.
Do you know that
Even at this dream academy, there are students who drop out.
There are people who leave this place where the end of academic background, the beginning of honor for those who do not have it, and the inheritance of honor for those who have it.
That’s mostly for people who are in the same situation as me.
And most of these are ‘those who don’t have’.
They are ignored wherever they go, they are not included wherever they go, and they are always forced to be alone.
But still I have to persevere. Because I have her At least she’s waiting for me when I leave the academy.
If it wasn’t for her, I would have left the academy before I even got used to it. That’s how big her place is for me.
What I have to do is to maintain my senior position and safely graduate from the academy. This is all.
“Soon”
Let Han Ye-rin close her mouth. Soon the bell rings.
As soon as her bell rings, she comes down from my waist.
“Good job, don’t do that next time”
I nod.
She smiles at me
Fuck shit.
“All right”
I shake my knees and quickly sit down in my seat.
And she… Sits next to me.
“I study hard the rest of the time.”
“Of course”
She is the second

The time flies by quickly, and it is time for the closing ceremony, and the sky is immersed in the sunset.
When it’s time to go home, a familiar face approaches me.
“Are you okay?”
“Yeah, that’s fine”
“Tell me if it’s hard, I’ll tell you to do it in moderation”
“You don’t have to”
Seokhyun Kim.
He is Han Ye-rin’s boyfriend.
He is one of the few people I entrust my heart to, and the only friend in the class.
Perhaps out of sympathy, he sometimes visits me two or three times a week when I go home and talks to him.
Maybe it’s thanks to this guy that she doesn’t touch me after her after school.
“I feel like my girlfriend does the same thing often these days. Is it because it’s midterm exams soon?”
“What, as usual, what?”
“I can’t deny it”
A faint smile hangs on your lips. The person who becomes a boyfriend has such a brain, but why does the person who becomes a girlfriend act as if a few screws are missing?
“No matter what you do, you won’t be able to become the chief.”
“I can’t deny this either.”
Is it because I’m too drunk?
Probably. Because the owner can’t study better than the puppy. It’s a pity that she can’t say this to her face. If that were the case, it would be tied to a drum somewhere and buried under the sea without the knowledge of mice or birds.
Keep talking like that Kim Seok-hyun’s cell phone vibrates.
“Oh, my girlfriend is calling. It was fun talking to you.”
“Be at peace”
“I’ll go first. Have a good weekend.”
“Yes”
Now it’s time for me to go back.
The time I’ve been waiting for the most, and the time I’ve been waiting for again.
It’s time to meet Yoo Seo-ha.
On her way back she greets me.
But for some reason, her face is a little dark.
What’s going on?
We ride the bus together and go home, but she doesn’t say a word to me.
An ominous aura slowly begins to rise up my spine.
Why… Why are you doing this? Is there something I did wrong? What? What?
The bus stops. Arrive at the destination My heart, which had previously been pounding with anxiety, starts beating like crazy as if I had drunk dozens of cups of coffee due to an arrhythmia.
The two got off at the bus stop in front of the house and walked without saying a word.
Even I, who went through all kinds of humiliation from Han Ye-rin, can’t stand this silence.
Are you sure you want to break up?
Terrible thoughts crash into your head. No, absolutely not. Must be pulled I need to pull this idea out. It can’t be. Absolutely not.
Come to think of it, I had a similar expression yesterday as I did today.
What did I do wrong Anyway, something is wrong with me. Otherwise, this silence is not understood. Wringing my hair, I find my fault.
Is it because I ate more meat when we ate together yesterday? Fuck I’m a pig, not a dog.
Is it because I took an extra blanket when we lay in bed the day before yesterday? I am a selfish chew.
Is it because the day before yesterday when we went to pick out clothes together, he recommended a strange outfit? An asshole who doesn’t even know fashion.
What the hell… What the hell did I do wrong?
When she is confused and unable to say anything, she turns to me.
Her eyes were stained red.
My face is so pale that I cannot speak. I feel doubled over because I don’t know what I’ve done.
Let’s get down on our knees
I am good at kneeling.
“I was wrong-“
“Sorry…”
I’m about to kneel, but I stop in the middle. He barely stops from collapsing and looks at Seoha with a puzzled face.
“What?”
I didn’t do anything wrong, so why are you apologizing? Today is a series of embarrassments. Why?
When I get up from her seat, she looks at me with teary eyes.
“I… Decided to go to the US to study”
What?
I am short of breath. It’s not even in the water.
What the hell did I hear?
Are you going to America? Leave me?
“I… Tried to convince you. You know my dad is very stubborn…”
Know. She grew up in a rather affluent family. It must have been that the daughter of a mid-sized company didn’t like hanging out with a baker’s kid.
Still. Still…
“In the end, even my mother heard the white flag…”
Knowing her love for me, even my mother, who tried to persuade her father, gave way to his iron stubbornness. If I say this, I can understand.
Her father would prefer dating someone with a lot of money somewhere in America than someone like me. I can also understand this. Because i’m lacking I tried, but other than that, it’s not enough.
But… But…
The heart does not understand. Tears cover the front from the passion that rises up in tears.
Fuck for real why are you doing this to me
My eyes are too blurry It’s like being in water. She doesn’t look good. This might be the last one.
Croaking, making a sound and crying. She just says she’s sorry, she’s so sorry, and wraps her arms around me. I want to feel her a little more. I want to feel more of her.
“Tae-ho, that, liked virginity before marriage…”
Then, my mind clears up. He stops her tears and looks at her with her wide eyes.
“Yes?”
Uh?
“I… Leave Korea tomorrow…”
Uh?
“That, uh, that”
“I’m sorry… I couldn’t tell you sooner…”
“No”
“You’re not coming to my parents’ house today…”
“Ah”
My sanity was cut off there.
