Chapter 73

While Moon Jeong-woo was explaining the rehearsal directions to the students whose programs had already been approved, Song Hui-in and Liu Shang-min finally returned. Although Moon Jeong-woo complained, his relationship with Song Hui-in was no longer at the same level as before.

Moon Jeong-woo himself had a deeper understanding of the senior-junior system and would not make any demands. He gave a casual bow and continued to explain the precautions to the students whose programs were retained.

However, Song Hui-in's expression was somewhat strange, and she gave Liu Shang-min a meaningful look. Liu Shang-min nodded and clapped her hands to get everyone's attention: "Alright, alright, can't you see the vice president is exhausted and sweating? Go back and think about your programs on your own. It's embarrassing to ask others about your own program."

These students who had signed up for the programs were all members of the cultural club who were slightly better in the arts from their respective classes. They all knew each other, so there was no need for formalities.

A boy from the same third year class smirked and said, "Oh, it's fine for the president to care about Jeong-woo, but do you have feelings for him too?"

Song Hui-in, who was talking to Moon Jeong-woo, glanced at him, and the boy quickly fell silent.

Liu Shang-min stepped forward and gave him a light tap, "The president has something to discuss with Jeong-woo. You all go back and practice on your own."

Since most of the students whose programs were retained had already received advice from Moon Jeong-woo, the rest could think about it on their own. Thus, they left the activity room in small groups.

When Liu Shang-min closed the door from the outside, Moon Jeong-woo instinctively took a step back, "What? S... Senior, you..."

Song Hui-in was about to say something but suddenly noticed Moon Jeong-woo's strange expression and was taken aback. She quickly realized what was happening, her cheeks flushed, and she scolded, "Hey! Moon Jeong-woo! What are you thinking?!"

Moon Jeong-woo touched his nose and smiled at Song Hui-in. Song Hui-in shook her head helplessly, "What? Not angry with me anymore? Acting cute again."

Moon Jeong-woo laughed and said, "How could I be angry with a senior? I just understand that even if the relationship between seniors and juniors is good, some distance should still be maintained. It's a cultural tradition in South Korea."

Song Hui-in laughed, "Alright, stop lecturing me. If I really acted like a senior, you would have been scolded many times by now."

Moon Jeong-woo looked surprised and leaned in to ask, "Senior, did I ever offend you before?"

The school uniforms were the same in style and color, and there was no difference from other boys. However, when Moon Jeong-woo wore it, it somehow looked particularly handsome. Warm, clean, and fresh, even his scent was fragrant.

This time, it was Song Hui-in's turn to instinctively step back, but Moon Jeong-woo didn't notice.

Song Hui-in was about to say something but then remembered what had just happened, and her smile vanished, "Sit down, I have something serious to ask you."

Moon Jeong-woo sat up straight and cleared his throat, looking serious. Song Hui-in ignored his antics, bit her lip, and asked, "Do you know this girl, Kim Tae-yeon?"

Moon Jeong-woo was taken aback and looked at Song Hui-in with a puzzled expression, "Know? Why would I need to know her? We're just collaborating, right? Knowing that she sings well and has a good voice is enough."

Song Hui-in looked at Moon Jeong-woo with a half-smile, "You're acting pretty convincingly."

She stared into Moon Jeong-woo's eyes and laughed softly, "You two... are dating, right?"

"Hey!?"

Moon Jeong-woo was at a loss, "Senior... I find you very funny. As the president of the cultural club, you really know how to joke. Are you telling jokes to relieve my stress?"

Seeing that Moon Jeong-woo didn't seem to be faking it, Song Hui-in frowned, "Really not?"

Moon Jeong-woo sighed, "Senior, I give up. Dating isn't a big deal. If I were really dating her, why wouldn't I admit it?"

Song Hui-in nodded, "Alright, you say you're not dating. Then why did you cheat to get her to collaborate with you?"

Moon Jeong-woo paused and frowned at Song Hui-in, "What cheating?"

Taking a deep breath, Moon Jeong-woo sighed, "I knew why you insisted on declaring the results invalid and re-drawing during the lottery..."

Moon Jeong-woo suddenly looked at Song Hui-in, "Senior, are you still upset because she was rude to you? I don't have the right to interfere with how you discipline your juniors, but can you not involve me in this? I'm already exhausted from practicing and maintaining my grades. Really."

Seeing Moon Jeong-woo's pained and pleading expression, Song Hui-in instinctively felt that she might have made a mistake. But remembering Li Ya-yuan's behavior, she didn't think it was a lie.

Recalling the day when Moon Jeong-woo understood why so many students suddenly signed up for the school festival, he initially felt helpless but soon became confident. He decided to stick to his story.

Looking at Moon Jeong-woo with a stern face, Song Hui-in said, "Don't hide anything from me. I wouldn't know your private matters for no reason."

Moon Jeong-woo's frown deepened, "You secretly investigated me?"

Seeing Song Hui-in's stunned expression, Moon Jeong-woo took a deep breath, stood up, and bowed to her before turning to leave.

Song Hui-in was at a loss, but soon Liu Shang-min pushed the embarrassed Moon Jeong-woo back into the activity room. Song Hui-in was speechless for a moment, then reacted, "Hey! You actually... actually... Moon Jeong-woo!!!"

What could Moon Jeong-woo say? His performance was almost perfect, but the world wasn't just the two of them.

He couldn't help but smirk as he opened the door to leave the activity room, but Liu Shang-min saw him. Liu Shang-min didn't understand what was happening but saw Moon Jeong-woo's smug smile as he walked out, clearly knowing something was up. Her first reaction was to catch him and stop him from leaving.

Song Hui-in pulled Moon Jeong-woo over and gave him a good scolding. Moon Jeong-woo endured it. After a while, he frowned at Song Hui-in, "How did you find out? Did Kim Tae-yeon tell you?"

Song Hui-in was about to say Li Ya-yuan, but Liu Shang-min suddenly spoke, "Do you think she would keep it a secret? She told the senior as soon as she was asked." Song Hui-in glanced at Liu Shang-min but didn't say anything.

Straightening Moon Jeong-woo's slightly disheveled clothes, Song Hui-in frowned at him, "Jeong-woo, if you're not dating, I advise you to stay away from her. Don't be fooled by her seemingly introverted and cute appearance. She... is actually..."

Moon Jeong-woo was at a loss, "Senior, what's wrong with you? Even if she's a troublemaker, what does it have to do with me? I'm already busy with the school festival, and you don't even help me. Instead, you go and investigate and gossip about a junior. What's your mindset?"

Liu Shang-min pushed him, "Listen to the senior when she's talking to you. Do you think it's good to be scolded?"

Moon Jeong-woo paused and looked at her calmly, "Investigating my private life and trying to manage it. If I don't let you, you scold me?"

Moon Jeong-woo nodded, "Then go ahead. I'm listening."

Liu Shang-min opened her mouth to say something but, seeing Moon Jeong-woo's cold gaze, hesitated even though she was a senior.

Song Hui-in turned to Liu Shang-min, "Shang-min, go back to the classroom and help me pack my bag. We'll go to the bookstore later. New books have arrived."

Liu Shang-min muttered something and left the activity room.

Looking at Moon Jeong-woo, who was straightening his shirt, Song Hui-in shook her head and stepped forward, "Jeong-woo, I'm doing this for your own good. You're a transfer student and don't know her character. She's young but very skilled at seduction and is a hidden player. You're a legitimate trainee, and she's a singer. She might have other intentions in approaching you. You're a good and easy-going person, don't let yourself be used."

Moon Jeong-woo was at a loss, "Seduction? How can a senior use such a term for a girl her age?"

Seeing Song Hui-in about to say something, Moon Jeong-woo said helplessly, "What's wrong with her? Why do you talk about her like she's a tiger? Just collaborating with her, will she eat me?"

Song Hui-in looked at Moon Jeong-woo and suddenly pulled him to look at her, "In her first year, she competed with a third-year senior for a boy... Did you know that?"

"Hey... Hey?!" Moon Jeong-woo's expression was shocked, his mouth wide open, looking incredulous. After a moment, he burst out laughing, laughing uncontrollably.

Song Hui-in, however, just calmly watched him, neither stopping him nor trying to calm him down.

After Moon Jeong-woo finished laughing, Song Hui-in looked at him and said softly, "You can ask her yourself to confirm. I found out before you, but I'm not the only one who knows."
