I'm Min Yeo-ju, an ordinary high school student. My grades are average, my interpersonal relationships are average. Everything is ordinary to me.First loveHe came. His name is Kim Seok-jin. He's a so-called "mom's boy" and is popular with both men and women. Unlike me.
Kim Seokjin was my first love. He was kind to everyone, so he was kind to me too. But whenever I saw him, my heart would strangely pound and beat faster. That was proof of my first love.
That day was another ordinary day. While fighting to get to the cafeteria first, I tripped over the foot of the kid sitting in front of me and fell. Shocked and embarrassed, I immediately got up and sat back down in my chair as if nothing had happened. Then I checked my knee, and it was torn and covered in blood, and my other knee was riddled with cuts.
I was in class 8, and Kim Seokjin was in class 7. Too embarrassed to even go to the infirmary, the kids from class 7 all rushed to the cafeteria. Embarrassed, I buried my face in my desk. Soon, our class headed to the cafeteria. I covered my knees with a blanket and sat down to eat my lunch when Kim Seokjin suddenly approached me. I was so startled I almost fell over again.
"Uh, hello?"
"Hello, are you Min Yeo-ju?"
"Oh, yeah. That's right!"
"I think you fell earlier. Are you okay?"
..... Wow, Kim Seok-jin is okay... Min Yeo-ju has lived her whole life.
"Uh, uh... ah... you?"
Kim Seok-jin suddenly took off the blanket I was wrapping around my waist and said.
"What is this... Your pretty leg is hurt."
"Ah.... Thank you..!"
"Let's eat lunch and go to the infirmary. I'll wait for you in front of Class 8."
...and then I nod at the gaze looking at meSwish_When I turned around, I felt the stinging gazes of the girls who liked Kim Seok-jin.Looking at it this way, there are a lot of kids who like Seokjin Kim.Sigh... I worried if I could date Kim Seokjin among these competitors. To avoid the gazes, I quickly got up from my chair and fled to the bathroom. As I was dragged into the very first stall, they checked my knees, and I heard an annoying conversation outside.
"Hey, Min Yeo-ju, spring?"
"You saw it... Wow, Min Yeo-ju, that vixen lol"
"I really want to kill Min Yeo-ju."
"Is it better to kill a fox with a gun or to drop it?"
"It seems like losing is the best."
"Wow, that's a great idea."
.... What, why is everyone cursing at me? I didn't do anything wrong... Seriously, what is this because of Kim Seokjin. Unrequited love isn't a sin. No matter how much I'm annoyed and hate you.... That's not right... I don't know, I should just leave.
"Wow, crazy, Min Yeo-ju."
"Cool bottle is coming-"
"I admit... does that girl have a cold sore or something?"
The stinging gazes of the girls who liked Kim Seokjin, all focused on me, seemed to be aimed at me as a group, were terrifying. Their behavior as if they were about to devour me made my legs ache, making it difficult to stand.
"Use... ha... "
In the end, I ignored what Kim Seokjin had said earlier and went to the infirmary on my own. My legs were numb and the stinging pain that had set in late made walking difficult, but now I was afraid to see Kim Seokjin again.
People's hearts change so easily,Do I really truly like Kim Seok-jin?It was so mentally exhausting. Turning away from something I loved hurt more than a torn knee. Just recently, whenever I thought of Kim Seokjin, my heart would race like crazy, but now it was aching.
I managed to drag myself to the infirmary and sit down on a chair. My legs gave out, and I groaned involuntarily. The nurse asked what had happened, but I simply told her I'd fallen on the playground. I didn't want to get involved with Kim Seokjin again. The large and small cuts on my knees were covered with bandages and bandages.Why did I have to wear a skirt today?Just as I was thinking, “I guess this is just how my life is,” I ran into the kids who had been cursing at me earlier in the hallway.
My eyes were naturally drawn to the spot, and at this very moment, I didn't want to be me. I stared at the distant Post-it note, my head down, and walked down the hallway, which felt unusually long today. Just as I was nearing the Post-it note, I looked up to catch my breath. Then I picked it up.
I like Kim Seokjin, but how do I confess?
It was written like that. Kim Seokjin was much more popular than I thought. I felt his popularity so much that my earlier comments felt excessive. I stood there frozen like a stone. I just felt like I shouldn't like this kid, because I didn't know what would happen if I did. I was hungry, but I thought I shouldn't go to the cafeteria, so I crawled up the stairs to my class on the fifth floor. And when I arrived, Kim Seokjin was standing in front of our class.
"Oh, you're a little late?"
" ..... "
"Hey, lady?"
At that moment, Kim Seok-jin thrust his handsome face in front of me. Only then did I realize.I guess I really like Kim Seokjin.My heart was pounding again, to the point where I wanted to take back what I said earlier about my heart aching.
"Ugh... sorry, I went to the infirmary."
"Really? Wasn't it hard? Next time, tell me and we'll go together."
" ...... okay. "
Honestly, I hesitated a little. I was disappointed in myself for hesitating when my crush approached me. I was secretly happy, but I was so nervous when Kim Seokjin was actually in front of me that I felt like an idiot who couldn't do anything. It was the same. I knew that the more I expected, the greater my disappointment would be.
"That's right, lady, give me your number."
" number? "
"Yeah, number."
"Why the number..?"
"Contact me later!"
"Ah... yeah..."
"Thanks, I'll contact you later!"
After getting Kim Seokjin's number, I stood there blankly again, when the bell rang from the speaker in front of our class. Sensing that lunch was fast approaching, I hurried into class. As soon as I entered, I was greeted by a barrage of sharp stares and questions. The reason for the stares was likely the same, and most of the questions directed at me were about Kim Seokjin.
To be honest, I wanted to answer everything because I care about interpersonal relationships, but it was so difficult that I couldn't do it.
Finally, the time for the closing ceremony arrived. I had always looked forward to it, but today, I was especially eager for it. After the ceremony, I turned on my phone to contact my friends. As soon as I turned on my phone, I went straight to KakaoTalk and started contacting them.KakaoTalk_The alarm went off. Before I could even think about who it was, the alarm went off again.
