rumor

Episode 01

8:30.

When I arrived at school, everyone looked at me. Was it because I came early? Of course, it was 10 minutes before class started... but it was earlier than usual. I usually arrive at 38. I sat down and struck up a conversation with Jihyun, who was sitting in front of me.

Yeoju, why is everyone staring at me? Is it because I came too early?
Jihyun, is 10 minutes ago early for you?
Isn't that early for the female lead?
Jihyun, sigh... Never mind. He's probably staring at you because of the rumors.
Rumors about Yeoju? What rumors?
Jihyun, do you really not know? Hong Jisu says she likes you.
Yeoju: Huh? Him? Me? Why?
Jihyun, it's finally time for you to start dating. I was wondering when you two would get together.
I'm not going to date Yeoju, okay? What do you even like about her...?
Jihyun, you're really unique, too..

Honestly, Hong Ji-soo is handsome, but we've been close for seven years, so it's too early to date. Besides, there isn't really any reason for him to like me...
Just then, Hong Ji-soo came in through the back door.

Yeoju Jisu, hi?
Jisu... Ah... Uh... O-hello..
Why is Yeoju out of her mind? Is something wrong?
Jisu, no... it's not like that... Did you hear the rumor?
Rumors about the female lead? That you like me?
Jisu, uh... that's true, but... it's not actually true...
Yeoju knows. Why do you like me? You really spread rumors carelessly.
Jisoo, I know... You don't like me...?
Yeoju, you? Why?
Jisu, no, just... I was curious while I was at it...?
The female lead... um... not bad, just too close?
Ji-soo, okay, I get it.

The bell rings for the first period. It was English.

The female lead really hates English...
Jisu is good at studying, so why does she hate this? Lol
Yeoju, that is different from this, you know? And you too...
Ji-soo would probably do that.

It was clearly a sarcastic tone. Seriously, Hong Ji-soo..!

Yeoju, I'm going to sleep for a bit. Wake me up when it's over.
Jisoo. Good night.
Yeoju, ugh... such a jerk...
Jisu is...

Five minutes before the class ended. Jisu could barely hear the lesson because she was watching Yeoju.

Jisoo is cute.. Sleeping well.. Pretty...

Jisu pushes Yeoju's hair back.

Jisu, Kim Yeoju. Wake up now.
Yeoju: Ugh... Already...?
Jisoo, there are 2 minutes left now.
Yeoju: Yeah... thank you...
Jisu, what...

Jisu's ears turned red. Neither of them noticed, though.

The class bell rang.

Yeoju, it's finally break time...
Jisu, wanna go to the snack bar? I'll buy you a drink.
Yeoju, okay. Let's go right away.
Jisoo haha

There weren't as many people at the snack bar as I expected. It's usually super crowded...

Jisu, what do you want to drink?
Yeoju, I have banana milk.
Jisu, I knew it. I should eat that too.
Yeoju, what's gotten into you eating something sweet?
Jisu, just because. You always eat it.
Yeoju, let's hurry up and pay. The bell is about to ring. There are 5 minutes left.
Calculate these two indices.
4,000 won, ma'am.
Jisu, here you go.

Yeoju looks delicious. I'll enjoy it.
Jisu, yes.
Bitter melon is delicious, isn't it? How about it?
Jisu is decent. It's good.
Why is the female lead reacting like this? Is something seriously wrong with you?
