“Haha, senior, you really have a great sense of humor.”
Yeoju is always in charge of reactions. She's not the brightest and most energetic girl, but she always smiles and says it's okay, even if it's not that great. To a rotten person who's just a jerk, she's the best at reactions. That's why Yeoju is always the one dragging her around, and she always stays up all night to finish her assignments.
And this time, after finishing the assignment, we had a company dinner, and Yoon Jeong-han (who is secretly good at studying) from the same department had to be there.
“Our heroine-. I will buy you everything you want later. So, should you marry me?”
At the company dinner, Jeong-han, who had been scanning only the nice girls, suddenly turns his eyes to that senior. Whether he likes Yeo-ju or not, he can't help but pay attention to those words. On top of that, he's a returning student, so there's a huge age difference, and it's even more absurd that he calls himself oppa. Yeo-ju seems to have a hard time reacting this time, so she just laughs awkwardly and haha.
" under ••• "
Finally, Jeonghan gets up from his seat and heads to the table where the female lead is sitting, just like the male lead in a drama. Oh- Do you like the female lead? This is the first time he's approached a woman first. He's always been the one to charm women with his gaze from afar and make them come to him. Since the female lead, that damn senior, and the other kids all seem to be drunk anyway, he mutters to himself.
"Oh, I like Yeoju."
For about five or ten seconds, silence filled the dinner table. Suddenly, someone stood up, kicked off their high heels, and shouted. It wasn't particularly cute or loud or anything. It was just ambiguous.
“Hey, you should only like me-”
The person who suddenly linked arms with her and clung to her seemed like a new student, but he was actually an exaggeration, almost on the verge of being a junior. The person who had Yeo-ju confess to her on her behalf last time. Yeo-ju-ya- I told you to tell Jeong-han last time, didn't I? Didn't you throw him away? If you did, I'll kill you.
They say that drinking alcohol reveals a person's personality, and I guess this is Gwadae's true personality. When Gwadae tried to throw the high heels he was wearing at Yeoju, Jeonghan grabbed Gwadae's wrist and stopped him.
“Can you stop? I threw away the letter you gave me.”
“Oh my, Jeonghani- Are you taking my side because you’re so kind? Oh, my baby-”
Gwadae seems very flustered by Jeonghan's iron wall, and his eyes keep darting back and forth without being able to keep their gaze still. In the past, he would just approach Jeonghan and receive a response, but since he had never heard of him building an iron wall before, it was only natural that he was flustered like this.
“••• Unnie, I like that senior Jeonghan.”

" hey "
“N, your senior”
Right now, Jeong-han is going crazy. He's found out that Yeo-ju likes him, but he wonders if such an innocent person deserves to date a piece of trash like me. He's worried, and the fact that she's hiding the fact that she's hiding Jeong-han from him only makes him feel more frustrated.
“What do you think of me? As a man, as a person of the opposite sex?”
“Hmm... I think he’ll be really affectionate..”
It seems like Yeoju hasn't heard about Jeonghan's rumors yet. It seems like Yeoju only thinks Jeonghan is affectionate and likes him, which makes his head hurt more and more.
“Hey, what’s your ideal type?”
It was a question that came after a great deal of thought, though it might not have been obvious. Yeo-ju seemed slightly surprised by him approaching her like this, but her furrowed brows revealed that she was racking her brain and thinking as best she could. Countless students passed by in the time it took for Jeong-han to see, but all he could see was Yeo-ju.
“I-,.. only look at me.. um.. the person who takes great care of me when I’m sick..!”
“I see.. So, can I change like that?”
