I Became the Childhood Friend Who Commits Suicide - Chapter 45

Chapter 45

Class had ended.

Si woo remained seated, scanning the room around him.

Hana was talking with Valentina. The two seemed to have grown quite close recently, with Valentina usually initiating the conversations.

As soon as the bell rang, Yeonhwa slipped out the back door. Lately, she barely paid attention in class, focusing instead on her training. She hadn’t spoken to Hana since the incident.

Many things had changed.

Si woo felt it too.

Since the conversation he’d had alone with Hana last week, a palpable distance had grown between them. They still talked sometimes and even walked to school together occasionally, but her attitude was definitely different.

He hoped today would bring a chance for change.

The health check for all students had just wrapped up. While it appeared to be a standard medical exam, it was, in reality, a blood test to detect demons.

Both students and teachers had participated.

Today, he would find out once and for all if that science teacher was a demon.

After class, Hana moved automatically toward her usual destination. It had become a daily routine.

As soon as school ended, she would head straight to the science lab on the first floor.

It had been about a week since her discharge from the infirmary, and she felt she’d finally adjusted to academy life.

Even if the classes were still challenging, she occasionally asked the class president or Shin Juhyun for help.

It wasn’t for the sake of high grades—she wasn’t interested in that. She had given up on practicals altogether.

Her only goal was to avoid failing. As long as she maintained a passing grade, she wouldn’t risk being held back or expelled.

Keeping up with the lessons was naturally difficult. The disregard and mocking stares that came from being talentless were still there.

But surprisingly, she found it wasn’t as bad as she’d thought.

If only she’d realized this sooner.

If, on that day of the field training, she hadn’t tried to take her own life but instead used the escape device…

Would Sophie still be alive? Could they have enjoyed a peaceful life at the academy together?

There was no sadness, as the effects of the pill hadn’t worn off yet.

Neither was there the dizzying pleasure she sometimes felt—only a quiet sense of longing.

Sophie.

Do you blame me?

There was no answer.

Sophie’s blue eyes had vanished from her sight long ago.

Was that something to be grateful for?

She reached her destination and opened the door to the science lab.

Inside was the same man as always—the science teacher, with his calm, intellectual look, wearing a white coat and glasses.

He greeted her with a relaxed smile.

“You’ve come. Please, have a seat.”

She didn’t feel the need to respond, simply plopping down in the chair he gestured to.

“Shall I give you the pill right away?”

“…Did you participate in that thing today too?”

“Hmm? What thing might you be referring to?”

He pulled a vial of pills from his coat, but she quickly lost interest in it and focused on the conversation.

“The health check. I saw they were taking blood.”

“Ah, that.”

Demon blood was a bright black, starkly different from human blood.
