"I like you"
"I don't like you."
The confession of the second-ranked student in the entire school. And those who witnessed this situation, which was being handled at the speed of light, barely managed to shut their mouths, almost gasping involuntarily. Someone said that everyone present had already been silenced.
01_ The love of the second-best student in the entire school
The girl with round glasses and her hair tied up high was not objectively pretty or cute. If you asked her if her eyes got strangely big when she took off her glasses like in a novel or a novel, I would have said 100% no. However, if you just look at her with her glasses on and take them off, you might be surprised to see that her eyes are bigger than you thought. If you just say it like that, you might say, "Huh? Doesn't that mean her eyes are big?" However, it is said that her glasses were so prescription-wise that it was hard to tell if her eyes were open or not whenever she put them on, because her eyes were the size of peas.
"i like you"
"As I said last time, I don't like you."
"...Would you please go away without disturbing me?"
Lee Joo pushed them away with his hand, as if telling them to go away. And the women stared at them with glaring eyes. They were Yeonsamo (a group that loves Yeonjun).
Even as Lee Joo pushed him away, Yeonjun showed no signs of moving. After standing in front of Lee Joo for a while, Yeonjun's mouth began to move.
"Then tell me why. Why do you hate me..?"
"Then tell me why. Why do you hate me..?"
The voice that had been asking with such force gradually faded. Yeonjun's face, looking pitifully at me as if he were being sincere, gave me a strange feeling... It was exactly the same feeling as that day.
"Hey, did you guys see that? The perennial runner-up confesses to the top student in the school, trying to become number one."
'What does that have to do with wanting to be number one in the whole school?'
B, who was sitting next to A and eating ice cream, asked him a question. Seeing B like that, A beat his chest as if he was frustrated and then answered.
'If you make them fall in love with you and then keep going out and playing around, the top student in the school will naturally not be able to study, and the second-ranked student will take advantage of that gap and become the top student in the school!'
'Oh... Isn't this the story of Choi Yeonjun, the perennial runner-up in the entire school?'
They whispered to each other as they watched Lee Joo, the top student in the school, pass by, his hands full of printed materials, as if he were running an errand for the teacher. Yeonjun, resting his chin on his knees, watched Lee Joo pass by. A and B spoke, looking at Yeonjun, who was sitting silently.If you want to escape from being the second best student in the entire school, try it.He made a joke that didn't even sound like a joke. He said he would speak as carefully as possible, but perhaps because his voice was too loud, Lee Joo's gaze turned to Yeonjun, and their eyes met. But that was only for a moment, as Lee Joo hurried his steps again and disappeared.
'The second-place student in the entire school takes first place!'
People who seemed to have so much time on their hands, sitting on the stairs, wasting their time chattering away, felt pathetic. If it were me, I would have used that time to memorize at least one more English word. I just felt so pathetic, and was about to pass by when I thought, "Oh... Isn't this the story of Choi Yeonjun, the perennial runner-up?" Choi Yeonjun... Choi Yeonjun... As far as Lee Joo knew, Choi Yeonjun was the runner-up in the entire school. Across all of his freshmen, sophomore, and junior years, there was only one runner-up named Choi Yeonjun. He was the kid whose eyes always caught his eye because of his diligence in everything he did. Just then, out of curiosity, he glanced over, and their eyes met, as if he was staring at him. "Oh, I was just trying to check his face..." Just then, Yeonjun, who had met his gaze, answered. "Uh..." Strangely, his answer made him feel strange. He felt nauseous, yet also angry. "I don't have time for this..." He had to hurry and put the printouts down and get back to studying. Still feeling strange, only Yeonjun's answer remained in his mind. He quickened his pace, and before he knew it, he had arrived at the teachers' office, panting. His usual calm and composed demeanor had vanished, his hair disheveled and his breathing labored. He stood still for a few minutes before entering the office. His mind was still in turmoil.
“Then why do you like me?”
Lee Joo stopped studying. He was clearly handsome and ranked second in the entire school. The fact that Yeonjun, who was both smart and handsome, liked Lee Joo was a confession no one but Yeonjun could believe.
※ 'Immediately after saying, "If you want to escape from being the second best in the whole school, let's try," Yeonjun, who was making eye contact with him, responded with, "Uh...", which made Lee Joo feel strange.
It should be written as chapter, but it's written as chapte, so I'm correcting it😢
