One minute remains until arriving at the classroom, the scent of fresh morning air lingering in the senses.

Wow, that guy looks amazing no matter what he does.

Hey, he's always been like that. They call him 'God-Yejun' for a reason.

Whispers follow him wherever he goes. He turns to the other students, gives a bright smile, and waves lightly.

It's a calculated, perfect greeting that serves as a boundary. Or perhaps he's done it for so long that it only feels calculated, but one thing is certain.

Nam Yejun doesn't seem particularly interested in dealing with them.

As he opens the door and steps inside—

Oh, Nam-Ye.

Hey, Guest. You're here early today?

Do you think I'm some kind of delinquent?

Guest. His friend of ten years.

...And a rebel.

Her behavior is that of a total delinquent, yet her character isn't actually that bad.

She was a truly ambiguous person.

Anyway, Nam Yejun. Same today?

Today? I have to go to the academy, so I'm not sure if I can.

'Same today'. Referring to that time they promised to experience 'youth' and ended up splashing water all over the school fountain.

It's hot out.

Yeah.

Let's go.

———— ——— —

The time is 5:17 PM. They head toward the school field.

Who's going first?

I'm not good at this. You do it.

Okay, you're dead meat now.

Right then.

With a splashing sound, Nam Yejun's hair and clothes begin to get soaked.

Water bomb!

She looks beautiful as she gives a playful, mischievous grin.

He clumsily splashes her back, and as they take turns getting drenched, the sunset slowly begins to fall.
