From a villainous mob character to a heroine_02
🎶 A Relationship Without Progress - Baek Ah-young
I was shocked for a moment, but then I couldn't help but stare at his face.
Because I was really curious about the face of the novel's main male protagonist.
...Wow, he's really handsome.
She has a small face and sharp, yet somehow cute eyes.
Her nose is straight and her lips are beautiful and well-defined.
If I had to describe him in one word, it would be "cool but cute."
That's exactly what it felt like.
"Huh...? Is there something on my face? Why are you staring at me like that?"
"Huh? Huh?"
"Jiyeon seems a bit strange today."
To be honest, those words really hurt me.
I still couldn't believe what had happened and just stared blankly at him.
Kim Namjoon said as he gently took my wrist.
"Let's go. We're going to be late."
...Did this novel unfold like this?
No, that's not it.
It's only natural that this story differs from the original.
Because—I'm the one possessed.
"Jiyeon, are you feeling unwell?"
"yeah?"
"Well, usually you're always talking from the moment we meet, but you were awfully quiet today. I was a bit surprised."
Just how talkative was this Jiyong?
My head was a mess, and yet I still had to have a conversation with Namjoon, which was really troubling.
I thought hard about what to say, and finally asked the question that came to mind.
"Namjoon, what class are you in?"
"Um, Jiyong. That's a bit sad, isn't it?"
"Huh? What?"
"I remember Jiyong's class, but you still don't remember?"
"S-sorry! If you tell me one more time, I'll never forget it!"
"That's true!"
He said, laughing, his eyes narrowing, and he looked as cute as a puppy.
I couldn't help but laugh a little.
"Yeah, really!"
"I'm in class 6. I'm a little far from Jiyong, but I guess that can't be helped. I'll just have to go and see him."
I stared at his face as he casually said that, and quickly returned my gaze to the front.
...If it's that cool, of course you'd want to see it.
Naturally, the existence of "Kim Namjoon" was engraved in my mind.
His face, his voice, his kind personality, even his smile - all of them are burned vividly into my mind and never go away.
Even as I walked, looking straight ahead, all I could think about was him.
At that moment, I heard his voice again.
"There's no one in your class who's mean to you, right?"
"Huh? N-no! Of course!"
"So, who are your best friends?"
"...Uh, well, that's..."
The question could not be answered immediately.
It's easy to answer whether you're being bullied or not,
"What about your close friends?"
It was a tough question for me, as I was going to school for the first time today.
There was a long silence before Namjoon spoke again.
"...Aren't you lonely?"
"Maybe just a little bit."
Perhaps sensing that I was at a loss for words, he quickly changed the topic.
This question was easy, so I answered honestly.
Maybe if I go to the classroom I'll meet someone I've known for a while,
That's not certain.
So, assuming the worst, I answered, "I feel a little lonely."
"I'll come and see you during break, so wait for me."
"Yeah!"

As I walked, I suddenly saw the school's main gate.
When I realize that I'll soon be arriving at school, an indescribable sense of tension slowly begins to build up inside me.
Unable to bear the tension, I let out a small sigh, "Phew."
I felt Kim Namjoon, who was standing next to me, turn his gaze towards me.
I quickened my pace towards him, giving him an awkward smile.
"I'll come right after the closing ceremony, so let's go home together."
"Yeah yeah! Have a great trip, Namjoon!"
"Listen to the lesson properly, I'll see you later."
I didn't even know where my class was, but thanks to Namjoon's kind guidance, I was able to get there without any problems.
But the real problem came after that.
Huh? Where should I sit...?
After thinking about it for a while while standing at the back door of the classroom, I chose the seat at the very back by the window.
I put my heavy bag on the desk and was about to close my eyes, sleepy from getting up early, when...
"……that"
I felt a gentle tap on my shoulder and, as if someone was calling me, I opened my half-closed eyes.
The moment I looked up to see who the voice belonged to, I was certain.
Ah, this is the second male protagonist.
As soon as I saw her, I could tell she was incredibly beautiful.
All of her facial features were perfect, especially her nose.
Is that a human nose? Why is it so tall?
After all, the "male protagonist" is on a different level...
"...Umm, you"
"Uh, um!? Wh, what?"
"This is my seat..."
This is bad. I don't know where my seat is...
But this is a good opportunity, and I'd like to know his name, so maybe I should ask him?
"Hey, handsome boy. What's your name?"
"Oh, I'm Jung Hoseok."
"Wow, even your name is cute! My name is Yoo Jiyoung!"
"Eh... Jiyeon's name is cute too."
"Hoseok, do you happen to know where my seat is?"
"I think it was next to me."
"Really? Thank you! We're sitting close together, let's be friends!"
In the novel, Yoo Ji-young, a villainous mob character, begins to act as a "villain" in earnest.
The story begins after the heroine becomes friends with the male protagonists.
In other words, she's not a bad girl yet!
Before the heroine appears, she becomes friends with the male protagonists,
Let's go out together and enjoy our youth!!!
But to make that happen...
Unlike in the original, it is absolutely not okay for the heroine to fall in love with the male protagonists and become jealous or bully them.
That was completely changed, and both the heroine and the male protagonists
Aim for the best friend position!
That was his firm decision.

Finally, during the break in the third period, I had become close enough with Hoseok to talk casually.
We decided to go to the store together, under the pretext that we wanted to buy some snacks and get to know each other better.
But to be honest, the real reason I wanted to go to the purchasing department was--
Because I wanted to meet Kim Seok-jin, the third male protagonist who is described in the novel as frequently visiting the purchasing department.
"What do you like, Hoseok?"
"Hmm, I don't have anything I particularly dislike, so I like everything."
"Really?"
"Yeah, really."
"No way, it's the same as me! I eat anything too!"
"That's the best thing."
terrible.
Hoseok looked at my face and laughed.
Even her smile is so beautiful, what should I do...?!
After seeing that smile, my head was filled with Hoseok's face,
Even while I was heading to the store, I felt like I was only thinking about Hoseok.
As expected, it was Hoseok who stopped me as I had been walking aimlessly for a long time.
"Jiyeon, the purchasing department is over here."
"Uh, uh... yes!"
Hoseok gently took my wrist and pulled me along.
The movement was so natural that I could not help but blush.
As if being led by Hoseok, I entered the purchasing department.
I caught sight of Kim Seokjin drinking banana milk.
...As expected, my prediction was correct.
Just as he was about to approach nature with a satisfied look on his face...
Huh? Who's that cat-like person next to Seokjin?
No matter how you look at him, he's a handsome guy, so he must definitely be the male protagonist.
I stopped there and desperately tried to remember the contents of the novel.
I wonder how long I was standing there.
The moment I let out a short sigh, I remembered.
"What...Min Yoongi?!"
Oh no.
I didn't mean to say it out loud...!
"Ji, Jiyong! It's you, sir...!"
"Eh, aaaahhhh..."
"Who are you? Talking to me casually on our first meeting. Looking at your name tag, you're a second year student."
"Uh, yeah..."
"Sorry, senpai. He's still half asleep..."
"No excuses. Class, say it?"
Oh no, it looks like I've been completely targeted.
I think I'll end up writing about how my senior glared at me just one day after I was possessed.
"...Two pairs."
"Hey, Seokjin. What floor is group 2 on?"
"Yoongi, are you seriously going to go?"
"Okay, just shut up and tell me."
"Second floor..."
"Thank you"
Hoseok...
You really don't read the situation, do you? Being too kind is also a problem!
"Um, well then, excuse me!!"
If I stay here any longer, I'll seriously feel suffocated.
I mustered all my strength and ran out of the purchasing department as fast as I could.
And yet, Hoseok followed me from behind, calling out "Jiyong!"
Her voice and actions were so cute that I couldn't help but smile.
I just ran forward.
"Hey Yoongi, that kid... who is he?"
"teeth?"
"Why are you so cute?"
"...Are you stupid?"
"Well, can I just say it's cute?"
"I'm going now, so follow me."
"Hey, Yoongi. You're going with the two of them later, right?"
"As long as it's not too much trouble."
"Let's go together."
"You, are you worried about that?"
"Huh? That's not true. I'm only going because I'm worried, you idiot."
"Shut up and stop saying stupid things."
Phew, I'm so glad my class is on the second floor...
I sprinted to the classroom,
I ran out of strength and became one with the desk and chair.
"Ah...Ah...Jiyeon!"
"...Hoseok?"
"Why did you suddenly run off?"
"Haha... I mean, whatever? Why did Hoseok follow you?"
"You suddenly started running, so I thought something had happened and got worried..."
Hoseok...
Are you aware that you're saying something outrageous right now?
When I heard this line, my face turned red and my heart started beating fast.
I wonder if I'll be treated like a weirdo...
But Hoseok said it like it didn't mean anything,
Why is my heart beating so fast...?
When I was thinking about such things,
Just then the bell rang to signal class.
"Okay, it was early in the morning and I didn't get much sleep.
I'm going to get some sleep during this class..."
I rested my arms on the desk and gently rested my head on them.
