「 A Midsummer Night's Dream」
☾
If I think back to the moment I first met that kid...
Around the end of February, high schoolPreliminary call-upWasn't it the day?

The alarm sounded loudly in my ears.
I checked the time with my eyes half-closed and it was 9 o'clock.
..Wait a minute..9 o'clock.???
Even if I try to deny reality, rub my eyes and look again, Time was passing annoyingly past 9 o'clock.
I calculated the approximate time by thinking faster than usual and the result was absurdly, if I don't run right now...
The fact that it's ruined...~Only then did I come to my senses and start preparing in a hurry.

“I’m going to school!”
With a hair tie in his mouth and his eyes fixed on his phoneOutside the houseI went out. I quickly tied my hair and looked at the time.Pointing to 9:12There was,My mind only became more anxious.
•

I barely managed to get there just in time for the bus to arrive.
As I was climbing the bus stairs and trying to take out my card,Adding insult to injury...
I forgot and left the card on the deskIt was here.
He let out a short sigh and then said againJust when I was about to go back,
“Two people.”
I was startled by the sound and turned around, and it was the first time I had ever seen it.
The boy paid my bus fare and then asked me what had happened.It was leisurely disappearing into the back seat.
Because the bus left without time to assess the situation
I staggered around and sat down first.
•
•
I tried hard to calm my startled heart,My head was already full of that boy.
And he was just muttering to himself...
•
•
After thinking about it for a while, he seemed to have made up his mind and walked out confidently.
Where? Yeah... that guyLoving kindnessTo the seat...
The decision that was made in a hurry soon turned into regret. However, that did not mean that I would go back.
I forced a smile and stopped walking in front of the child.
I calmed myself down, took a deep breath, and opened my mouth to try to keep from falling.
- Hello…!! That uh… that phone number from earlier… Ah… no.I'd like to give you a call, so please give me your phone number.
I was so flustered that my tongue was tied up and I wanted to hide in a hole right away. But what was even scarier was that I didn't hear what he said.
That means there was no response.
I was about to give up and go back because I didn't have the courage to say it again,
———
The kid took out his earphonesI looked at my phone and myself in turnAs if nothing happenedI took my phone and dialed the number.
But.. when I look at it from up close, it seems a bit handsome..
Anyway, he dialed the number and even wrote down Jeon Jungkook's name and handed it to me.I headed towards the entrance to see if this was where I should get off.
But... isn't this the bus stop in front of Hwayang High School..?

I was so out of it that day, I didn't know what to do.
I was so busy that I don't even remember what I did.
Oh, and today is my first high school entrance ceremony.
I woke up early in the morning and had a hearty breakfast. Since it was my first day of high school, I sat in front of my vanity, thinking that I would study hard and try dating.
I put on some light makeup and thought, "It's my first day, so let's get dressed up!" and took out my dusty curling iron.
I put on my school uniform, straightened my clothes, and stood in front of the mirror.
- ..Do I look pretty today? Haha
I usually only see her as a beggar who doesn't even put on lotion or makeup, but when she puts on makeup like this, I see that she's actually quite pretty.I even looked in the mirror and smiled for no reason.

When I arrived at the bus stop, I saw my friend who had already arrived.
I waved happily, but my friend had a puzzled expression on his face and question marks all over his face.
“Hey, Min Yoonji. How can you not even recognize your own friend?”
- What, Jeon Yeo-ju, was it you?
“Why…my makeup looks weird..?”
- No, because it's so pretty.. You should be like that more often..;;
“This girl is pretty when she dresses up too~”
- Sister, this is what I'm saying. Hey, hey. The bus is here.
This time, I packed my transportation cart well, and my friend told me I was pretty in the morning... It was a perfect day so far.
With high expectationsI headed to school with an excited heart.

After getting off the bus, look at the placard hanging in front of the main gate.
It was starting to feel like I was a high school student. On the one hand, I was excited, but on the other hand, I was also filled with worry.
- Hey.. look at him.. he's been getting confessions since the day he entered school..?
When I looked at the direction my friend's hand was pointing,It was like a situation where a boy was confessing to a girl.
“He’s amazing too.. He’s thinking about confessing from the first day.. “
- Hey, but he's really handsome. Should I confess to him too?
“What’s so handsome about that?”
I took a closer look at the boy's face after hearing from a friend that he was handsome.
I saw it, and it looked familiar.
“I’ve seen him somewhere…”
- You? That handsome guy?
“No, listen… It’s our preliminary assembly day…”
- The day of the preliminary assembly..?
“…Bus..? Huh.? That bus back then..!”
After thinking about it, I realized that familiar face was the boy I saw on the bus. For some reason, it gave me goosebumps just looking at him.
“It’s Jeon Jungkook… That bus back then…”
- Wow, even the crazy name is handsome. It's Jeon Jungkook!!!!!!
“Hey, hey, speak quietly. I’ll listen.”
As expected, my bad feelings are never wrong. That guy...
Yes, Jeon Jungkook looked towards us as if he heard his friend's voice, and he avoided eye contact.
“Hey, let’s go quickly. We’ll be late.”
- Ah, why, I have to go and see if they accept the difference.
Yeah.. who would beat Min Yoonji.. I was dragged to Yoonji who wanted to look at it closer while in a half-hearted state.
Actually, I was curious too. Would they accept it? Would they reject it?
His face was filled with annoyance, but his ears were perked up.
-Jungkook...you don't have to answer right now...
Jeon Jungkook seemed to be thinking for a moment, then suddenly looked at me and said something that sounded like a line from a soap opera.
“I have a girlfriend.”
No, it was shocking that he had a girlfriend, but why was Jeon Jungkook looking at me? And why did he say that to me?
Was it from this point on… A perfect, smooth day? I gave that away.

I went into the class I was assigned to, half out of my mind.
Since Yoon Ji-rang dropped out of the class, you can say that she has no friends in the class. AlsoI'm wondering how to make friends... Do they all already hang out in groups?
Another familiar face came in through the front door.
“I’m starting to have hallucinations now…”
- I'm sorry, but I hope it's not a hallucination.
I really hoped it was a dream. I hate these kinds of nightmares... but dreams tooIf this isn't a hallucination, then this is hell... what could it be?
That's when my school life started to go awry.

I came home from school in a daze. Today wasn't an easy day for me, so I ordered delivery food as compensation for the hardships I'd endured. I happily pondered what to watch on Netflix until I got home.
Just then,Tiring- the notification rang. And with an ominous feeling, I checked the name... Jeon... .Jung... Kook...
What the hell is this situation? He wants me to use my girlfriend as an example... and he's talking about business... And of all things, the food delivery came at this exact moment... I couldn't even tell if the food was going into my nose or my mouth.

The next morning came, a day I hoped would never come.
Even as I pass the school gate... Should I leave school early? Should I drop out? Should I transfer schools?
This was all I could think about.
- Hey. Jeon Yeo-ju. Where does it hurt?
“ ….. “
- Hey..? Hey, Jeon Yeo-ju
“..Huh? No, no, I was just thinking about something else.. “
I'd been out of my mind for a long time... and the thought of having to see Jeon Jungkook again when I went back to class really made me want to cry. Why was this ordeal being put on me?
But then…
“Hey, let’s go up to our classroom together.”
- … Huh? Really…!
My friend looked at me with a dumbfounded expression... no, glared at me.
Me too... I find this situation... absurd.
- What, Jeon Yeo-ju.. Are you dating that handsome guy..?
“Huh..? Uh… How did it happen..?”
- What the... Jeon Yeo-ju... Leave me... and love the pretty one...ㅠ
“Uh..uh..I’ll go first.”
At first I was hesitant, butTo be honest, the attention from people around me wasn't all that bad.
I've decided to be content with the fact that I can fake a relationship with this handsome guy. Yeah, if you can't avoid it, enjoy it!

It's already been over 4 months since I made that promise.
I shouldn't have accepted Jeon Jungkook's confession back then, which wasn't a confession.
There was no way a guy with that good looks, who was good at studying, sports, and singing, would be unpopular at school.
It was common for kids to gather in front of the class to see Jeon Jungkook in person during break time, and there were many kids who confessed to him even though they knew he had a girlfriend.
Compared to him, I was just an ordinary high school freshman.
Now they don't even treat me like a normal person.
Starting with, "How did you seduce Jeon Jungkook with that face?"
I heard harsh words that I couldn't even bring myself to say, like "Did you buy it with money?" and "Did you sleep with me?"
At this point, you probably don't understand why I still have a girlfriend. I used to be like that too.
But I think I like Jeon Jungkook a lot...

I finally told Jeongguk everything and decided to transfer schools to get my life back.
I felt like if I continued living like this, it would become really dangerous.
•

“Hey lady!”
Seeing Jungkook waving happily without knowing anything, I absolutelyI ended up not keeping my promise not to cry.
“Jeon Jungkook… You… Don’t you know… Because of you, I…”
How hard it was… how hard it was… “
-Hey, heroine… are you crying?
-Why are you crying? Don't cry..huh? Should I buy you ice cream..? Yeah..?
My tear ducts were already bursting, so I decided not to waste time and just talk.
“I like you.. I mean it.. “
- …what?
“Don’t answer…”
- Lady... Me too...
“…I’m transferring schools.”
- Are you serious?
“ ..Yeah..so don’t look for me anymore”
I shook off Jeongguk's hand that was trying to comfort me and ran home.
I heard crying from behind.
“ …Are you serious about that..?”
I was embarrassed because a child who looked like he had never cried in his life was crying, but I felt complicated because he was crying because of me.
“Why are you crying…?”
- Are you serious?
- I like you too.. but if you leave like this…
" …what? "
After that, we hugged and cried for several dozen minutes.
That day was probably the day I cried the most in my life..? Haha

Sleeping next to me! Haha
