"..Ugh..Hey Taehyun, what time is it?"
"9 o'clock"
"What? I slept for three hours?"
"I didn't wake you up because you were sleeping so soundly."
"Wake me up and send me to my room. My back feels like it's going to break because I slept on the sofa."
The female protagonist checks her phone while patting her hunched back.
Suddenly, I was speechless when I saw the list of about 30 seconds of conversations with [Subin☆] in my phone records.
For a moment, I covered my mouth with both hands, took stock of the situation, and then quietly spoke to Taehyun.
"Hey, did you by any chance talk to my friend?"
"..Ah, is that Subin or something? Hey, I told you I was sleeping because you were looking for me."
"Oh shit!!! You should have woken me up!!"
"I told you, you were sleeping so soundly that I didn't wake you up."
"Ah ...
I don't know, I'm screwed!!!!
The heroine, who had missed her chance twice again, stomped to her room with a sad face and slammed the door shut.
"...Why is it like that?"
***
Yeoju was busy from morning. She woke up later than usual yesterday, trying to contact Subin until dawn. As she frantically prepared, the honking of a car horn outside reverberated through the house.
Bam-! Bam-!
"Oh shit, wait a minute!! Mom, my school uniform!!"
"It's in your hands, my lady."
"Uh huh!.. I'm going out"
The female lead, who had barely managed to get out wearing both a shirt and a skirt, saw Yeonjun sitting in the driver's seat, waiting on his phone, and Beomgyu sitting in the passenger seat, looking at the female lead, who was flustered, with a pitiful expression.
After smiling awkwardly and waving, I tossed my bag into the backseat of the convertible and quickly got into the car. As soon as I got in, Yeonjun gently stepped on the accelerator and started driving.
"It's strange that you slept in so late."
"I slept late last night... Sorry, sorry."
"What were you doing that kept you up so late?"
"There is such a thing - drive safely, Mr. Danyul."
Beomgyu, who was sitting in front of her, turned around and looked at Yeoju with bright eyes. Yeoju, who was fixing her hair, said to Beomgyu while applying tint prettily one last time. "What are you looking at?"
"Who did you talk to for so long yesterday?"
"Ah- That sound again.. I did it with Soobin. Are you okay, you punk?"
"Huh-"
Unlike Beomgyu, who continued teasing him with a sly smile, Yeonjun's expression hardened. Why did it have to be that annoying guy? What did you regret?

When the female protagonist finally came to her senses after a long class, it was lunchtime.
While I was looking around to see if there was a place to sit with a salad on my plate, leaving behind Beomgyu who was whining that he was hungry, I saw Subin sitting alone in the corner eating.
"..Hey, hey, you two are eating together today. Got it?"
"What? Hey, Kang Yeo-ju, where are you going!"
Yeonjun asked from behind, but Yeoju, who had rushed over, sat down in front of Soobin with a fluttering heart. Then, all the students in the cafeteria began to murmur, their eyes focused on Soobin.
What? Why is Kang Yeo-ju eating with him?
Who is he?
"Uh... heroine!"
"hi"
Subin stopped eating and looked at Yeoju, mumbling.
Similarly, I was startled by the gaze focused in my direction and immediately lowered my head.
"..It's okay if you eat with your friends."
"I want to eat with you today."
"Thank you.. do you want to eat this?"
"Okay, Subin, eat a lot!"
There's no way I can eat that much.
Subin wanted to hold back her pounding heart.
How can I eat when you are right in front of me?
I watched the female lead, swallowing her words and devouring the lettuce. She must have stayed up late last night because she was trying to contact me, but she didn't look tired. She was incredibly pretty.
"What's on my face? Why are you looking at me like that?"
"Ah! Oh, sorry, sorry. I won't look at you."
"..ugh"
The heroine finally burst out laughing. Even that was so beautiful that Soobin, who had been staring blankly at the sight, came to her senses and gulped down water, her ears reddening.
"Are you going to work today too?"
"..No, I'm not going"
"Then come play with me today!"
Subin nodded vigorously.
I didn't want to miss the opportunity again.

"Hey Daniel, what are you doing, you idiot? You're not eating."
"..no just"
"What? Is it because of Kang Yeo-ju?"
"The food tastes really bad"
Yeonjun looked at the friendly Yeoju and Soobin and said.
Beomgyu, who felt something unusual, looked at Yeoju and then Yeonjun, then spoke to Yeonjun.
"Do you like Kang Yeo-ju?"
"..Choi Beom-gyu notices quickly"
"I was wondering - he usually doesn't show it, but when some loner shows up, he suddenly starts shooting lasers from his eyes."
"Will you help me?"
"What will you do if I help you?"
"..I'll buy you food"
"Ugh, I won't help you - you figure it out."
"Hey, $100! I'll give you $100"
(100,000 won in Korean currency;)
..okay deal
***
(Inside a cafe)
"Hey, have you decided on a partner for this homecoming party?"
"No? Subin, what about you?"
"..Me too, not yet"
Haha. What are you doing? Aren't you going to tell me to be your partner soon?
The heroine cried out inwardly. Subin, oblivious, chuckled awkwardly and adjusted her glasses. Suddenly curious, the heroine asked Subin.
"Subin, is your eyesight not good?"
"Huh? Why is that?"
"I was just curious because you wear glasses."
"Oh, these? Blue light blocking glasses! My eyesight is really good."
"Oh really~?"
The heroine quickly took off Subin's glasses. Startled, Subin stared at her with wide eyes, but the heroine calmly put the glasses away in her bag.
"You don't need to wear blue light blocking glasses right now."
"Yeah...right"
"You're really handsome, Subin, you know that right?"
"What are you talking about! It's not really me."
"Huh.."
It's frustrating, but it's cute.
Thinking like that, the female protagonist stood up from her seat and linked arms with Subin.
Subin, who was once again surprised by the female protagonist's actions, was dragged outside with her mouth in an awkward position.
Since we were originally going on a date near Yeoju's house, Subin decided to take us there.
When Yeo-ju, who had been silent the entire way, arrived in front of the house, Subin regretfully let go of her arm.
"Thanks for bringing me here. You go in too."
"I'll go after seeing you go in."
"Okay, I'll go in."
The heroine opened the front door and waved to Soobin.
After the female lead went in, Subin, who had been watching for a long time, finally couldn't hold back her laughter and let out a pleasant laugh.
At that moment, the door suddenly opened and the female protagonist suddenly jumped out.
"..Huh? Lady, what's wrong?"
The moment Soobin opened her mouth, Yeoju lifted her head, grabbed her cheek, and kissed her. Soobin, who had been standing still, unable to do anything, gradually lowered her posture and hugged Yeoju's waist. After kissing her for a while, Yeoju pulled away and waved, her expression more shy than before.
"Goodbye, Subin."
"..Yeah, you go in too."
As soon as Yeoju entered the house, Subin covered her mouth and didn't know what to do.
Did I just kiss the female lead? Soobin, still in a daze, slowly headed home, unable to hide the laughter that was escaping his lips.

Meanwhile, Taehyun, who was trying to get some fresh air while doing his homework, opened the window to refresh himself, but then closed it again with a sigh.
"..He's making a fuss in front of my house."
