“...Just, why do you care?”
“It wasn’t like that before.”
“I started seeing that kid.”
A day after the video leak incident
As soon as the female protagonist entered the classroom,
The air itself was different.
Whisper. Whisper. Glance. Heck.
Everyone's mouths were shut, and their eyes were open to the heroine.
“Is that him? The guy you were talking about in the video?”
“That transfer student who said he hated all three of them lol. What’s the latest news?”
“But John X was really cool. He spoke so coolly.”
On the desk, next to the female protagonist's name, there was a scribble drawn in ballpoint pen.
“The legendary heroine who devoured all three♥”
The heroine put down her bag without saying a word.
And he sat down. Without saying a word.
I even took a breath, at least to the minimum.
Quiet. Quiet. Quiet.
...but at that moment,
Someone suddenly placed something on her desk.
“I should see something like this in the morning, it makes me feel better.”

📎 What I left behind: Two small lemon candies
📎 Note: [“I hope I hate it less today.”]
“…What is this?”
When the female lead asked, Taehyung shrugged.
"Just... well, that's my role. Managing the crew."
“It’s not management, it’s interference.”
“Then I’ll interfere. Because… it just bothers me.”
The female protagonist blinked when she heard those words.
And... I picked up the candy again and put it in Taehyung's hand.
“Then, don’t interfere with me.”
“I really want to live quietly.”
Same time – music room
Jungkook was playing the piano in an empty music room.
A low-pitched chord.
Meanwhile, the door opened quietly.
"…jungkook jeon?"
Jeongguk raised his head.
“…Oh, is it you?”
It was the female protagonist.
“That video I mentioned yesterday. Did you find it?”
Jeongguk nodded slowly.
"The guy who took the picture, I'm almost certain. The back seat of row C. That's the angle from back then."
“And the one I edited and uploaded is... one of the kids around that kid.”
The female protagonist asked quietly.
“Then, who is it? Who would do something like that...”
“Shin Hye-jin.”
Jeongguk said without a moment's hesitation.
“He edited it, and it was spread by his friend’s anonymous account.”
The heroine's lips hardened.
“...Why is that?”
“I don’t know. I just… I guess I didn’t like you.”
“There’s no need for a reason here.
It's just 'if you stand out, you're out.'"
The female protagonist remained silent for a while after hearing those words.
Jungkook plucked the keys with his fingertips.
And said.
“…But you know.”
“When you said that—”
Jungkook looked at her and said.
“It was really cool.”
The heroine looked at him in surprise.
Jungkook chuckled.
“No, seriously.
“I can’t say things like that… honestly.”
Jungkook said as he closed the piano lid.
“So just,
If something like that happens again—”
He slowly turned his head and looked at the female protagonist.
“Just tell me. I’ll clean it up.”
Computer Lab - That Afternoon
“Did you really leak that video?”
Seokjin called out Shin Hyejin.
Hyejin shook her head with a pretentious expression.
“Oppa, it’s not me~ Why would I do that?
“What kind of villain am I?”
“If not you, then who did it?”
“It just spread through the community~”
Seokjin sighed.
“If you don’t tell me, things could get worse later.”
“…Brother, are you taking his side?”
“No. It’s just that you’re a bit of a waste to do something like this.”
Hyejin narrowed her eyes.
And then he turned around quietly.
“If you really have to protect him that much...”
“I guess I have something to protect too, right?”
classroom hallway
The moment the heroine was organizing her locker,
Someone tapped me on the shoulder.
“...Kim Yeo-ju.”
"yes?"
“Let’s just talk for a minute.”
