I was so captivated by you, I didn’t even notice the teacher had left the classroom.
"Hi?"
"..."
"One..."
"?! Oh, sorry..."
While I was lost in thought staring at you, a few other students approached me. One of them, a girl with a cute face, started talking to me.
"Oh... it’s okay. I’m Eunju. If you’re from Seoul, living in the countryside must be tough. I’ll help you out a lot!"
"Huh? Oh, thanks.
But can I ask you something… What’s that guy’s name?"
I pointed at you and asked Eunju your name. She smiled and answered.
"Oh~ Jeon Jungkook?"
"His name is… Jeon Jungkook?"
"Yeah! Isn’t he seriously handsome?"
"Yeah… huh?"
"Totally. He’s so good-looking that all the girls in school like him."
"Oh…"
As expected, you were really popular because of your looks.
There weren’t that many girls in this countryside school, but if everyone liked you, that said a lot...
"But he’s super cold. I’ve never seen him talk to a girl before."
"Really?"
Something about what she said made me feel strangely competitive.
So during lunch, I decided to go talk to you.
At this school—maybe because it’s in the countryside, or maybe it’s just their style—everyone either goes out to eat or eats at home during lunch.
So I waited until you left the classroom.
After everyone else had gone, you finally left. And I quietly followed.
"Hi?"
"...Who are you?"
"Ah, I’m the new transfer student. My name’s Ha Yeoju. Nice to meet you."
"Oh, okay."
"Do you eat lunch at home?"
"No."
"Then?"
"I eat out."
"Then… let’s eat together!"
"Why?"
Just like the others said, you had a serious wall up.
But I didn’t give up. I kept pushing forward.
"I don’t really know my way around yet… and I want to get to know you better!"
"Ah… sorry. Also… you’re…
kind of overwhelming."
