A senior suddenly showed up and asked me to join the student council. It hadn't even been a month since I transferred.
It doesn't matter. Come to think of it, it wasn't a bad thing. I thought joining the student council would help my grades, but... there's Jaehyun there too. I brushed it off yesterday, though...
-What? Your ears are red.
- Ah! It's, it's a bit hot...
- Really?.. Anyway, I really want you to come in.
- Okay... I'll think about it a little more.
- Can I have your cell phone?
Cell phone? He handed me the phone he had in his pocket, so I dialed the number and called. Is this how we exchange numbers? I haven't even said I'd do it yet...
- This is my number, so please call me.
- Ah.. yes
[Ha Min-ji]
It was written like that.

-Hey, can I ask you something?
- ..Huh, what is it?
- Did you finally break up with Jaehyun Lee?
- what?
Hey, why are you asking such a question! You already know everything!
He shouted quietly so that others wouldn't hear and hit Jooyeon's arm.
When I see you ask questions like that, I think I've been avoiding Jaehyun a lot...
- ..and you shouldn't speak informally to him since he's your senior
- Okay
- You're bad, Lee Joo-yeon
- I thought you seemed to be thinking a lot, so I joked around.
Jooyeon... Should I join the student council?
I stared intently at the female protagonist as she fidgeted with her fingers. "She's so small and cute, I want to bite her." As she thought this, the main character's expression hardened at the mention of "student council."The female lead, who couldn't see the main character's expression, continued speaking.
- Minji unnie called me and told me to come in. But if I go in, I'll have to run into Jaehyun sunbaenim every day... That's inconvenient.
- … That would be really inconvenient
- I don't know. I should just go to sleep. Wake me up when the teacher comes!
Joo-yeon, who was fixing Yeo-ju's hair while she was lying on the desk, took out her phone and sent a KakaoTalk message to Jae-hyun.
[I need to take care of my girlfriend a bit.]
.
.
.
- ..what is this guy
- Why? What is it?
- I don't know, you shameless bastard
- Stop fighting with Jooyeon.
How did you know it was Lee Joo-yeon?
At first glance, it's obvious. Younghoon answered roughly while marking with a red pencil. Girlfriend... I don't have a girlfriend. Are you talking about Kim Yeoju? He sighed as he washed his dry face.
I shouldn't have confessed like that...
After that, whenever I saw the female protagonist cleverly avoiding me even when I wanted to approach her, I was speechless. There was no reason to avoid me so blatantly, Kim Yeo-ju.
- By the way, you haven't been seeing the female lead much lately?
- He avoids me
- All of a sudden? Did you do something wrong?
- no
- What... So you fought?
- I confessed
- …?
What the... this is crazy.
Younghoon dropped the colored pencil he was holding and looked at Jaehyun Lee. With a truly disgusted expression.
- I would have avoided it too
- ? why
- Are you two people? No.
- …I like you unilaterally
- Yeah. How embarrassed the female lead must be.
Ugh, you idiot..
Even though Younghoon clicked his tongue and shook his head, Jaehyun didn't react much. What can I do with something good? I should just say it's good. What else can I say?
‘Wait for me after class and let’s go home together.’
Jaehyun's first priority was to express his feelings.
.
.
.
- Haven't you seen me lately?
- ..I guess it's my mood
- No. I can't even see the tip of your nose.
Jaehyun snatched the female lead, who was trying to sneak home after ignoring Jaehyun's text. Eventually, on the uncomfortable way home from school, they walked silently until Jaehyun spoke first. "Why were you avoiding me?"
The slightly stung heroine rolled her eyes. In fact, she had been desperately trying to avoid eye contact.
- Why do you like me, senior?
- I don't know
"What? Even you don't know! This is just a fleeting feeling. So, you should think about it again, too."
- I like you, but does there have to be a reason? .. It just somehow seeped into me.
- … No
- I don't want you to like me either. I just want to say this is how I feel.
While we were talking like that, we arrived home. I waved my hand to Jaehyun, who looked full of regret, and said thank you.
Maybe this person is okay.
.
.

As soon as I got home, I sent a KakaoTalk message to Minji, asking if I could join the student council. For some reason, I felt relieved. Just meeting Jaehyun, I felt like my worries and anxieties were being lifted. He's someone I'm grateful for in so many ways.
KakaoTalk!
[Yeah haha, good idea! Actually, my boyfriend was pressuring me to pick you no matter what.]
[Jaehyun Lee, third grade. Do you know?
…what?
The door of my heart, which had been slightly open, was completely closed.
