About a year… maybe a year and a half ago.
Back in middle school, when we were kind of flirting….❤️



“Crazy…. crazy.”
“I’m freaking out.”
“You told me to dress pretty???????”
“Aaaahhh-“
”What do I even wear….“
The heroine couldn’t sleep from the excitement that evening, so she fell asleep at 4 and woke up at 12, apparently.
(Rrrrrrrr…..)
-”Ah, hang up, I’m doing my makeup.“
-”Ah, no, don’t hang up.“
”Lee Siyun, what are you going to wear?“
-”I’m just going to wear something comfy.“
-”Comfy?“
”How?“
”Just a T-shirt and sweats….. like this?“
-”Hey, are you going to the convenience store in front of your house?“
-“Then what is it-!”
“Didn’t you say you’d dress comfortably!!”
-“You don’t know ‘effortlessly cute’?”
“‘Looks like I tried but didn’t really try’—natural-”
-“That’s what I’m saying, how do you even do that….”
-“You know, not really dressed up, but somehow still pretty.”
“Why is someone with such a good body so bad at picking clothes?”
-“Do you know I’ve been choosing clothes for over an hour now?”
“Ugh… it’s already 6.”
“I have to leave in 40 minutes!!!”
-“Hey, I just thought of the perfect thing.”
“Do you have that outfit?”
-“Which outfit?”
-“You know, that one.”
“That gray hooded zip-up, the one that shows off your figure a bit.”
-“Ah… the one I bought in Hongdae?”
“You want me to wear that?”
-“Yeah, that’s effortlessly cute.”
“It fits snugly and really shows your figure~”
“The key point is that it kind of shows your collarbone~”
-“Then what pants do I wear…?”
-“Some cute sweats.”
-“….Where do you even find that kind of thing?”
-“Who knows?”
-“Haa…..”
“I’m hanging up. You’re not much help.”
-“Hey, but seriously, wear that—”
Click-
In the end, the heroine wore exactly what Siyun told her to.
The heroine fidgeted in front of the gym door.
Siyun looked at her with disdain.
“We’ve been standing here for 5 minutes, you know?”
”Should we go in now?“
”I really can’t do this….“
”You have a boyfriend, so of course you’d say that. I’m still just kind of flirting….“
”Damn it.“
”I’m going in first, then.“
”Aaaah, waitwaitwaitwait.“
”I’ll go in….“
She barely managed to open the door and step into the gym.
Since volleyball is played with about 6 people per team, there were probably around 20 people there including reserves, substitutes, and coaches.
The heroine looked around for Yeonjun.
The stands were already packed with people.
“Hey, I said we should come earlier.”
“There aren’t even many seats left because it’s full of people.”
No matter what Siyun was muttering beside her, the heroine’s eyes just kept darting around.
“Whe… where’s Choi Yeonjun?”
“Oh, that’s Lee Junhyuk.”
Siyun waved at Junhyuk.
Junhyuk waved back at Siyun, and everyone’s attention shifted toward the heroine and Siyun.
“Whoa, that’s Lee Junhyuk’s girlfriend.”
“Senior Junhyuk has a girlfriend??”
“So pretty….”
The heroine, who was the ultimate super-shy introvert, was overwhelmed. So much.
Without thinking, she looked ahead, and there he was next to Lee Junhyuk.
Choi Yeonjun.
And then their eyes met.
The heroine was even more at a loss.
Should she say hello? Should she go over? Should she just ignore him and walk past?
Her head was full of thoughts.
Then Yeonjun waved at her first.
The heroine awkwardly waved back a little.
She felt like she was going to die from nerves. Now people were looking at her instead of Siyun.
“Looks like Senior Choi Yeonjun has a girlfriend too…”
“What, does everyone have someone?”
”That senior is pretty too…“
”Choi Yeonjun’s the one getting lucky.“
She could hear all the people murmuring.
The heroine and Siyun sat down for now and waited for the match to start.
”Wow, Im Yeoju is fully done up?“
”Curling iron, eyelashes, contacts, everything….“
”And she wore what I told her to wear—“
”Hey, but this is way too tight…“
”I’m holding my breath the whole time because I’m scared my belly fat will show.“
”You have to endure it if you want to be pretty.“
”Your lashes came out good today?“
”I even put on mascara—“
”Those are fake..”
“붙인거임..”
“Im Yeoju, who used to think makeup was such a hassle, really changed once she got a crush.”
“If you end up dating Choi Yeonjun soon, don’t just hang out with him—you have to hang out with me too, got it?”
“Ah, what are you even saying….”
A few hours later, after the game ended, while walking home and getting dropped off…
“Are you upset?”
“Huh? About what?”
“Because we lost volleyball…”
“ㅋㅋ not really?”
”It is a bit disappointing.“
”23 to 25 was kind of close.“
“Still, we won soccer-”
“Yeah, I’m really good at soccer.”
“I’m practically Son Heung-min~”
“Pff…”
“What was that just now.”
“Were you mocking me?”
“Yeah.”
“Can’t help it if it’s funny.”
“That Son Heung-min joke is a bit….”
“You want to get beaten up by the whole nation, huh?”
“Ah, should I tone it down?”
“Yeahㅋㅋㅋ.”
“ㅋㅋㅋ.”
“Feels like it’s been a while since I saw you in your casual clothes.”
“Oh, really.??“
”We really haven’t been meeting much lately except at school..“
”You wouldn’t meet me because you said you were busy.“
”…Sorry.“
”Whatever.“
”Why are you dressed like that.“
”Why, you told me to dress pretty, so I dressed pretty.“
“Is it bad?”
“It’s not bad, exactly..”
”All the guys can see you, you know.“
”And aren’t you cold?“
”It’s long sleeves, so what’s cold about it?“
”Even if it’s long sleeves, it’s thin.“
”You’re the one wearing a short-sleeve, short-pants uniform.“
”You really have room to talk-“
”You and I are different.“
”I’m tall and you’re short.“ (What does that have to do with it?)
”Huh?“
”That’s not true.“
”What do you mean I’m short.“
”I’m taller than Lee Siyun?“
”Lee Siyun’s basically elementary school height..“ (156….)
”You’re really asking to get hit by Lee Siyun again, huh ㅋㅋ.“
”Ugh, I really need to start watching my mouth.”
“Being hit by the whole nation is better than being hit by Lee Siyun, yeah.”
”ㅋㅋㅎah anyway-”
“I’m at least 4 cm taller than her.”
“At best that’s 160, right?”
“…..”
“160 is what….”
“Ah, never mind.”
“If I keep talking, I feel like you’ll cut me off.”
“….”
“This is so annoying…”
“ㅋㅋ We’re home already.”
“Hurry up and go in.”
“Ah, wait a second..”
“Wait.”
“Why?”
“I… have something… to say-“
”Yeah, say it.“
The heroine fidgeted.
”Ha…. so.“
“Should we date…us…??”
“Huh?”
“No… it’s been about a month since you broke up and…”
“Now… there’s no one left to say anything about it—”
“I’m tired of just kind of flirting too….”
“Ah, not that I’m saying we should rush it or anything.”
“It’s not that I hate flirting either…!”
Yeonjun was blushing, covering his mouth and unable to say anything.
“Ah, you’re not going to answer?!”
“Seriously…. I worked up so much courage—“
”I’m leaving.“
Yeonjun grabbed the heroine as she tried to leave.
“Ah, wait.”
“You can’t just go like this-”
“Should we walk a little more…?ㅎㅎ”
“Wh..?ㅋㅋㅋ”
Just as the heroine was about to follow Yeonjun along,
(Rrrrrrr….)
“Oh, hey, it’s Mom on video call!!!”
“Damn…. I said I’d be home by 10:30…” (Current time: 10:50)
”I’ll go first, talk to you later….later.!!“
The heroine sprinted home like that, and Yeonjun was left alone.




On the other hand,
Now
I’m sorry I can’t come often…..🙏
