"Yeah. How is it that it's always the same?"
I really hate it.
Even today, there's always banana milk on Yeoju's desk. Of course, it must have been given by 'that guy.' There's this guy who suddenly says he likes me and leaves me banana milk every day. His last name is Jeon and his first name is Jungkook. Jeon Jungkook.
I don't know how you fell for me, but I already like someone, and I don't like younger women, and I don't like guys who leave banana milk for me every day. I just don't like them.
Every time we made eye contact, he'd look away as if he was embarrassed, and even though he'd leave me banana milk, his words would stutter so much. He's exactly the type of man I hate. No matter how much he likes me, I'll never open my heart to him. Never, ever.
"I hate it so much. Why are you doing that?"
"Then say no. I'll give it to you every single day."
"I already told you."
"That's just a joke."
I sighed deeply after hearing my friend Suyeon's words.
"I just don't want to get involved with him."
"Is that possible? Then I guess I'll just get banana milk."
----
I knew that Jeon Jungkook would always give me banana milk at lunchtime, so I skipped lunch and waited for him. Today, I'm going to make it clear: I hate you.
"excuse me,"
"No, no, yes??"
"Don't leave things like this behind in the future. I know you're doing this because you like me, but isn't there someone else you like?"
I put the banana milk he gave me into the trash can and passed him by silently as if I had no interest in people like you.
"And I don't like people like you. There's nothing to like about you."
"I'm sorry. I didn't know you didn't like it...so..."
"Are you crying?"
His eyes were watering, almost overflowing. I was dumbfounded by that. "What the hell are you crying about? What did I do?" I thought. At the time, I was deeply offended. I knew I'd spoken harshly, but so what? I just hated you so much.
"If I do this, it'll make me look like a bad girl."
"I'm sorry... I won't do that."
He ran away, covering his face as if trying to hide his tears. It was truly unbelievable. What good would crying do?
-
Judging by his demeanor back then, he was the worst by my standards. His messy hair, those nerdy glasses, and above all, his timid personality were just a mess. He should have just contacted me instead of just giving me banana milk.
"Good thing you said it. I think it's finally coming off."
"Yeah, okay. Now you can date Park Jimin, who you like so much~"
"Speak quietly...!"
Why didn't I know that Jeon Jungkook was just another person with a crush on me?
_
I figured he wouldn't be home anymore, so I ate lunch and looked at my desk. What the heck was this? This time, there was strawberry milk and a small note. I didn't read the contents, but I knew exactly what it would say. In an instant, my mood turned sour. Because of Jeon Jungkook. I hated you just because you were him. Just.
"You left it behind again. What are you going to find?"
"What class was he in? He really is annoying."
He crumpled up the unread note and threw it in the trash. Then he strode towards Jeon Jungkook.
-
"jungkook jeon."
"Huh?"
He was already blushing, flustered, as if he hadn't expected me. Seeing that, his expression crumpled even more. Jeon Jungkook hadn't done anything wrong. His only sin was liking me. But why did I hate him so much?
"I told you not to give me this kind of thing."
I don't like you, and I won't like you in the future.
Jeon Jungkook looked extremely surprised at my words that drove the wedge in.That, that..
Before he could finish speaking, Jeon Jungkook threw the strawberry milk he had given him into the trash can.
"..."
"I'm leaving. Don't give me anything like this again."
I couldn't see Jeon Jungkook's expression. I knew he was probably crying.

To the female lead senior.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry for liking you so much. ㅠㅠ I won't be able to see you in the future.
I won't spoil it. I'll just serve you the strawberry milk as a last resort. I apologize again.
