A romance that will freeze you to death
After Park Jimin and his friends came during lunch time, I couldn't tell if the food was going into my mouth or my nose... My appetite had also dropped, so I just quietly left the cafeteria and went to class. Then, a few minutes later, the bell rang and the students came in.Of course, Park Jimin was among them.
“Why did you leave earlier?”
“There is no reason to be there.”
Park Jimin took out his phone and smiled faintly as if he found what I said funny. What on earth was so funny that he was laughing all this time…!

For some reason, Park Jimin hadn't spoken to me once since lunch ended and classes began. Thanks to that, I was able to listen to my afternoon classes quietly. But there was also a sense of unease…
“Why do you keep following me?”
“I’m not following you.”
“John X, this is ridiculous.”
“But you’ve been talking nonsense since earlier. I don’t really like that kind of woman.”
“Huh, get out.”
“But you are attractive.”
I told him he was quiet at school, but as soon as I left the school gate, he appeared from somewhere and kept following me. When I told him not to follow me, he said he wasn't following me, but I can't believe that. He glared at Park Jimin.“John X, this is ridiculous.”And when I say that, he says he doesn't like women who talk harshly. If I swear at him again,“It’s attractive.”Okay.
“But give me your number.”
“Your friend may tell you everything else, but he won’t tell you his number.”
“Why me?”
“Because I’m curious.”
Park Jimin followed me home and asked for my phone number. Kim Seul-ah said she'd give me everything else, but she'd never give me mine. But I'm not the kind of woman who'd give it to someone who asks for it easily. When I refused to give it to her, Park Jimin gave up and went back home.

The next day, Yeoju woke up to a refreshing day with bright sunlight and birds chirping. She got ready for school and left the house. It had been a pleasant and refreshing morning until she opened the door. But then... why, why on earth...“Why are you coming out of there?!”
