I feel like cursing.
Please look at it nicely!
"what."
A back alleyway of the school. This is a place where students never set foot. A boy crouched in the alley, playing on his phone. His name was Jeon Jeon-gook. Jungkook frowned, as if he was dissatisfied with something. It was hard to tell exactly what he was wearing, but even in passing, his features were striking. His eyes were as large as a deer's, his nose quite high, and his lips as red as cherries. Jungkook was pretty, but his expression was a bit fierce. He had bandages under his eyes, and instead of a cigarette, he was sucking on a lollipop. He stared blankly at his phone until he received a KakaoTalk message. He ran a hand over his hair, as if it was something serious. Then, he put on the jacket he had placed next to him and quickly disappeared.
"Hey, Kim Yeo-ju."
"huh?"
"Ah, it's Jeongguk."
"I'm in a bit of a hurry"
"Can you help me?"
"...What is it?"
For Yeo-ju, who had been in unrequited love for over a decade, Jung-guk's request felt really good. However, his reaction was a bit different from last year. Unlike last year when he kept pestering her to look after him, he had given up to a certain extent and didn't have any particular expectations. Although they were in the same class last year, they were halfway apart, so she was used to living in the same class. As she was starting her second year and gradually forgetting about Jung-guk, he came to her after about four months. She was very tired from being in unrequited love for the past year. So, to be honest, she wanted to ignore Jung-guk's request. However, the charm of unrequited love is that everything strangely becomes clear just by looking at the face of the person she has a crush on. Yeo-ju asked what Jung-guk's request was. It was quite strange.
"Be my girlfriend, for just a month."
"What? What do you mean?"
"I have something to do. Just for a month, really."
"If you're uncomfortable, just for today."
"Are you in a hurry?"
"Yeah, it's really urgent. I'll think about it for two hours."
"Come to the back alley after school and let me know. I'll ask you."
"Uh... I see."
From the female lead's perspective, it's a little hurtful. She's blatantly turned a blind eye to things she's liked, and she's picked on him more than once or twice. But what? Now, you're asking me to be your girlfriend? She thought, "Don't be ridiculous," and looked at Jungkook with a blank expression. Just then, Jungkook happened to look at her and smiled beggingly. "Oh... You're hitting on me."
"See you later, Juya."
