“Kim Yeo-ju!”
“Oh, uh.”
At around 7:50 in the morning, as Yeoju was walking out of the building yawning, Jungkook waved his hand and called her name.
Yeoju's eyes were half-closed, as if she'd been having trouble sleeping because of Jeongguk's questions and the memories of the past. Dark circles were visible under her eyes. Jeongguk sighed at the sight of her and placed something in her hand.
"ruler."
“What is this…”
“…Chocolate milk?”
"Drink that and wake up."
The female protagonist chuckled at Jungkook's delicate consideration and concern. There was no need to shun Jungkook just because he asked that question yesterday, so she decided to just remain classmates.
Yeoju shook the chocolate milk a few times, then wiggled her slender, pretty hands before inserting the straw with a snapping sound. As Yeoju, who usually enjoyed sweets, brought the straw to her lips with a pleased expression, Jeongguk spoke.
“If you drink that, will we be friends?”
After hearing Jeongguk's words, Yeoju drank some milk without hesitation and looked at Jeongguk.
"friend…"
The female protagonist was secretly excited to make a new friend.

"Okay, everyone, pay attention. We have a transfer student here today, so please take good care of him."
"Should I come to Yeoju and say hello?"
"Oh, yes..."
Entering an unfamiliar classroom for the first time, Yeoju looked around and then met Jeongguk's eyes.Jungkook seemed to be sending the message, "Fighting!" with his mouth and hand gestures. Thanks to Jungkook's encouragement, Yeoju, who had gained confidence, began introducing herself.
"Hello, my name is Kim Yeo-ju. I transferred here after moving from the neighborhood next door."
“•••.”
The classroom had become so quiet that it was almost embarrassing. Yeoju swept the back of her neck and looked forward, and her eyes met with a male student.
The boy was looking at the female protagonist with his cheeks reddened, and the classroom became noisy again at the boy's single word, "You're pretty!"
“Huh..?”
“Where should Yeoju sit?”
“Next to me.”
Jungkook raised his hand and spoke. The teacher said to do so and finished the assembly while also giving Jungkook the location of the school.
As soon as the teacher left, the students rushed to Yeoju's seat, so Jeongguk naturally stepped back.
“Wow, you are really pretty.”
"Where are you from?"
"Do you know anyone here?"
"Let's get to know each other!"
“Yeah, uh… one by one…”
“Hey, get out of the way.”
When he saw Yeoju in distress, Jeongguk grabbed her wrist and stood up. The students surrounding Yeoju's desk all stared at Jeongguk and Yeoju. Jeongguk coldly asked, "What are you looking at?" and left the classroom with Yeoju.
“Oh, I thought I was going to die.”
“Pfft.”
“Why are you splitting it?”
"just."
Yeoju looked at Jeongguk with a frown. As the two of them were walking down the hallway, children from other classes started coming out one by one.
“Wow, it’s Jeon Jungkook.”
“Wow, what the hell is that?”
“Are you a transfer student?”
“It’s so pretty.”
“You must be with Jeon Jungkook because of your face…”
The students began to gather around Yeoju and Jeongguk. Yeoju looked around for a while and then started covering her face with both hands in embarrassment.
“Ah…”
“Kim Yeo-ju is very popular.”
“I think I can hear you more now.”
It seems like Yeoju's high school life won't be smooth sailing.
