Lena opened her unusually large eyes and blinked. 

I spoke to Lena as her eyes were open. 

“Are you okay?”

I who was holding Lena in my arms, and Siwan who was opening the teacher’s lounge ahead of me, silently stared at Lena.

“Ah…”

Suddenly Lean’s face turned blue. 

Seeing her face I instinctively knew. 

Lena had really intended to die. 

“Come in.”

Ham Geun Hyeong placed the towel over his head on a table and signaled for us to come in. 

He should have been able to dry himself in three minutes if he used the whole body dryer provided in the shower room. 

Perhaps Ham Geun Heyong didn’t want to make us wait and came here ahead of us with only a towel in hand. 

Plop. 

I placed Lena down on the couch opposite Ham Geun Hyeong still covered in the blanked. 

Ham Geun Heyong looked between Lean and me before turning to Siwan. 

“I told the students in the dormitories that it was a prank by Class zero….would it be better to discuss in detail another time?”

“Yes. You should dry your hair before  you catch a cold.”

“I’m okay…oh, thank you.”

Ham Geun Hyeong threw the towel towards Siwan after noticing his frosted hair. 

I thought it would be best for me to leave. 

I bowed and greeted Ham Geun Hyeong goodbye. 

“I’ll make a move first. Goodbye.”

“Be careful on your way back, Jo Eushin. Let’s talk more tomorrow.”

Just as Siwan and I were about to leave. 

Lena stretched out her hand from behind the blanket and grabbed a hold of me.

“Oh?”

A weak arm with visibly protruding bones was feebly holding on to the ends of my uniform shirt.

“….oh, sorry.”

Lena hesitated before letting go. 

Lena seemed frightened by something. 

“Perhaps…”

I tried to picture myself from her point of view. 

Her parents. 

The dream auction. 

By looking back I could somehow guess what she was afraid of. 

“….perhaps she is afraid of adults?”

Ham Geun Hyeong was a rather unpleasant looking man in his late thirties. 

Siwan who was in his third year but held the demeanor that suited his title as the head of the Jiik committee.

And there was me who was a freshman, with a medium build and still in my uniform. 

To Lena, I was probably the one she felt most comfortable with. 

It would be better if I stayed. 

“Professor Ham Geun Hyeong, would it be alright if I left a little later.”
