Here we go again. Pitch-black eyes visible through the slightly open window.
You don't think I don't know, do you? Staring at me so blatantly. It felt like my head was going to explode with a little exaggeration.
“…Are you going to keep pretending not to know? Because I care.”
“Sorry, but I don’t know who that person is.”
“Should I speak for you? You seem burdened.”
My classmate Choi Soobin closed the book she was diligently working on. It seemed I had unintentionally interrupted her studies. Unable to continue the inconvenience, I stood up. Suddenly, I glanced at my watch and saw that there were about six minutes left until class began.
As soon as I took off my glasses and stepped into the hallway, our eyes met. It wasn't my imagination that he was watching me. Startled, the man immediately offered an awkward wave.
“Hello, Yeoju,”
"I know. Choi Yeonjun."
"…uh?"
I lied to my partner. In fact, saying I didn't know who it was was a lie. In Canada.The guy who said he was coming was on everyone's lips the moment he transferred to the school.
“What to me,”
“Do you have a boyfriend?”
I blurted out at the same time. What? If I heard correctly, I thought she was curious about my boyfriend. Unfortunately, I was annoyed. I think my intentions were genuine, but this isn't the first or second time I've done this.
“Why are you curious about that?”
"I want to get to know you. Do you have a lover? I might hate you if you do."
"..Yeah. My boyfriend is really jealous. We can't be close."
“..Who? Are we from the same school?”
"Class is over. I'm going to go in."
“Yeoju!”
As I casually entered the classroom, Choi Soobin looked at me with a hollow laugh. I ignored her and sat down. I felt a sharp gaze from beside me. I let one go, and the other one's starting to act like a jerk.
“I didn’t know you had a boyfriend?”
“I didn’t know you had a hobby of eavesdropping on other people’s conversations.”
“Since when did you start dating?
“..Open your book. The teacher will come.”
A question and answer session ensued. His expression seemed to indicate he had a lot to say. When the teacher came in, he sighed softly and turned to face me. What was for lunch today? A thought suddenly occurred to him. I'm hungry.
KakaoTalk!
[You were the one who acted upset first]
[I'll explain later, just pretend you know]
[it's annoying]

I tried to explain to Choi Soo-bin, but why?
“Can we eat together? This much is fine.”
”…“
"Eat well, Yeoju"
Lunchtime. I came to a corner seat to take Choi Soobin's place, saying she was going to the teachers' office for a bit, but I don't know how she found me. Why are you here when you've got all your friends? I was dumbfounded, and Choi Yeonjun chuckled and stuffed the sausage that came as a side dish into my mouth.
“..Ugh, what are you doing now?”
"My favorite side dish"
"Then you eat it!"
"huh!"
What the hell is this little brat doing? I looked down at Choi Yeonjun, who was eating blissfully, his head buried in his plate. Seriously... he's a weird kid. He's really weird...
"What are you doing?"
“..? Oh, you’re here?”
“What is this?”
“..I don’t know. Let’s just eat.”
I thought it would be okay if I ignored it. I tried to calm my dizzy head.
.
.
“If you give me your number, I won’t eat you.”
"no"
“Then let’s follow each other on Instagram.”
"no"
"Okay, okay, then don't be friends with me."
"No, what?"
Ah, Kkabi. Choi Yeonjun laughed and clapped. It was so absurd, yet so strange. Why... couldn't I just push them away? I always rejected those who approached me outright, but strangely, I felt like I was being pushed aside.
“You… go to your class.”
“Just give me your number and I’ll go.”
“..I don’t like it”
“Okay, see you later!”
Finally, the noise subsided. I sighed softly and slumped down on my desk. Then, a vibration from my pocket brought me back up.
‘yawnzzn started following you’
