"God… I’ve lost it, haven’t I?"
"I acted all cocky, but how the hell am I supposed to seduce him?!"
"Getting hit by Jeon Jungkook actually hurts… like, one forehead flick from him and it’s instant brain damage, no?"
Yoon Yeoju, you idiot…
What kind of nerve did I think I had to make a bet with Jeon Jungkook?
I’m digging my own grave here.
"...It was a good life, I guess."
Just as I was sighing in front of my door…
"Um, excuse me..."
"Huh?"
"You’re kind of blocking my door."
S—Sh*t.
Is that even a human face?
Mr. Sexy First Love just spoke to me…
Forget Jungkook’s forehead flick—my heart’s gonna give out first from this guy.
"…Yep. Definitely a good life."
"…Sorry, what?"
"Ah! N-no, nothing!!"
"We meet again—twice in one day, huh? Maybe it’s fate?"
✨Wink✨
Forget the bet.
One look at my dream guy and I’m already floating on air.
This must be the “Hot Neighbor Effect.”
I even threw in a wink for encouragement.
That’s my signature move, baby.
"…I guess we’ll run into each other a lot. Since we’re neighbors."
"Anyway, I’ll be going."
Wait.
Did he just draw a line between us?
He literally labeled us neighbors just now, didn’t he??
He has no idea what a HUGE deal that is!
Do you know how rare it is to have a hot neighbor!? THIS IS DESTINY!!
"Fine. Since I already made the bet…"
"Time to show what seduction really looks like."
"Just hope he doesn’t call the cops on me."
"Operation: Seduce Hot Neighbor begins today!"
"…Okay maybe that name’s a little cringe."
"Who cares? My man’s hot."

Creeeak—
"Oh! Are you heading to work? Good morning~"
"Ah… morning."
Operation Step 1:
Wake up early.
Time it so we leave for work at the same time.
Say good morning. Walk together.
"You’re wearing a suit—are you headed to the office?"
"…Something like that."
"I work too! At the company right down the street!"
"Let’s get along, fellow office worker!"
"I’m even a team leader, you know~"
"Sorry, I’ve got a ton of work waiting.
I’ve got to go. Sorry I couldn’t chat more."
"Work hard."
Operation Step 1: FAILED.
Well… not a total failure?
At least I got a “work hard” out of him.
Half-fail, half-success?
Nah, just seeing his face in the morning was enough to make my day.
But wait.
"Did he just get into a… Benz?"
"He’s rich, too?!"
"So he’s hot, sexy, and rich…?"
"He’s got everything.
All that’s left is for me to have him."
sniffles dramatically
"How is someone that good-looking AND sexy AND rich?"
"No way… does he have a girlfriend?!"
"Is that why he’s so cold?!"
Honestly, normally I’d assume a guy like him has a girlfriend already.
But not me. I’m built different.
"No. Doesn’t matter if he does."
"Whether he has one or not isn’t my business."
"All I gotta do is win him over."
"He could fall for me. Right?"
"No—he will fall for me."
Mr. Sexy First Love…
You’re going to fall for me.
