Ep. 1
"Hey, let's go quickly, Kim Yeo-ju! Aren't you going to school?"
The first day of the new semester. Kim Yeo-ju, a bright 18-year-old girl, doesn't believe in stories like those you see in teen comics about first loves or new romances. She doesn't believe it, but she prays and prays every day for it to happen. But the reality of sleeping in on the first day of the new semester... it's just so bizarre.
“If you don’t come out in three seconds, I’m leaving.”
“Sam •• Lee •• “
“ ? What, how long have you been waiting for me?”
“I’ve been waiting for 20 minutes now..”
“What are you talking about..; what time is it now.. “
“It’s 8:10. I’ll be late even if I run.”
When she opened the classroom door, drenched in sweat from running as hard as she could, the cool air greeted her. And even the angry teacher.
“Kim Yeo-ju. Are you late again?”
“Ah haha… Hello teacher.. “
And then, of all days, I ended up taking a class from last year's teacher, and I thought today was the worst day ever. And then something even worse happened.
“Kim Yeo-ju, you look like a squid when you’re here lol”
As the other six-year-old said, the female protagonist also knew.
This class is full of really handsome guys.
Just looking around, I saw a world of pretty girls, and there were so many handsome guys. As the female protagonist was spending her break feeling a bit gloomy, a boy approached her and spoke to her.
“Hello? Do you remember me, Yeoju?”
" .. who? "
"Oh... I don't remember. I was Han Ga-yeon, class 4, grade 3 at Moa Middle School. We were close..."
“You’re Gayeon? Really?”
“Yeah haha, it’s changed a bit, hasn’t it?”
“You’ve become so pretty… I’m the only one who’s still the same.”
At those words, Gayeon gave a faint smile and left.
‘Ha.. life is so bitter.’
However, there was one person who caught the eye of the female protagonist. Choi Soo-bin, who was rumored to be popular even during her time at Moa Middle School.
“.. He is handsome.”
Yeoju spent the remaining class hours daydreaming and enjoying herself. Unfortunately, her friend had left early, leaving her with no one to go with. It was also raining.
“Oh my… I’m really unlucky.”
Yeo-ju, who was watching the children playing and walking home from school through the window, planned to leave the school when the rain stopped, but the rain only got heavier. She decided to stay and study.
“I never thought I’d be able to study on my own.”
But at the very end of the diagonal line from the female protagonist, a child was seen studying with his back bent.
“Choi Soo-bin?”
That's right. That's right.. Why am I so embarrassed after calling you?
It seems like the female protagonist is feeling infinitely small right now.
“..Choi Yeo-ju?”
“Yeah.. what are you doing?”
“I’m going to stay a bit and study before I go.”
Subin's gaze, which was on Yeoju, immediately turns back to the workbook, and Yeoju sits down next to Subin.
“Hey, do you want to eat this?”
“Ah.. thank you.”
The hand the heroine gave contained a strawberry-flavored Mychu.
“Do you like this?”
“Yeah. But I like peach the best.”
“Oh, really? I guess I’ll buy that next time.”
“But why did you stay?”
“Ah.. haha I don’t have an umbrella so I’ll go when the rain stops.”
“Hmm... I see.”
For some reason, the heroine felt a needless pity for Soobin. Why did he stay and study? What was the matter?
It wasn't. Subin and Yeoju chatted about this and that, then each returned to their studies. About an hour had passed?
“Hey, has the rain stopped?”
Soobin smiled brightly as she looked out the window.
“Oh, really? I have to go quickly. Bye!”
Subin, who had been waving at Yeoju, opened his book again with a bitter expression on his face when Yeoju disappeared from sight.
- The next day, after school
“It’s raining again. What kind of downpour is this?”
Yeoju didn't think much of the rain today. For someone who never even looked at the weather forecast, it wasn't particularly important anymore. That's because Soobin was still there studying.
“Subin! Are you studying today too?”
“Hey, heroine..! Are you going to study today too?”
“Yeah. It’s raining again haha. I have to study for an exam.”
At Yeoju's sigh, Subin thought for a moment and then opened her mouth.
“Is there anything I can help you with?”
“Oh, right! You’re good at studying. Teach me some math.”
Subin smiled at Yeoju's cute way of speaking and moved her chair slightly next to her.
“I’m not that good at it.. haha. Okay, open the book.”
Honestly, Yeo-ju was thrilled. Is it normal not to fall for that face and that smile? For a moment, I was lost in thought, staring at Soo-bin's face.
“Hey, are you okay?”
Soobin said, waving his hand in front of Yeoju's eyes.
“Uh.. uh, it’s okay haha. What is the scope of the test?”
It took a lot of time to teach the female protagonist, who had only just started studying, and it couldn't be done perfectly in just one day.
Soobin rested his chin on his hand for a moment, seemingly lost in thought, before opening his mouth.
"Then, heroine. Do you want to stay and study with me tomorrow?"

Hello. This is writer Choi Yeonjun, here you go 😘
First of all, I'd like to talk about the new disease...☺️
Actually, I worried a lot when I was publishing this piece. What if people think I'm releasing a new piece without any responsibility when there's already a piece on hiatus? And what if the quality of the writing drops if I publish multiple pieces at the same time? I worried a lot 😭 But more than ten people subscribed after seeing my promotional post... Honestly, I was really surprised, and so I'm trying my best to squeeze out as much time as possible, think of ideas, and publish diligently... I'm so happy and rewarded to be back with the support of my readers!
This is why I can't give up writing ✌️ Thank you for reading this long post, and have a nice day 🍀
+ We will also be holding a Q&A soon, so please look forward to it 😉
