Please do it.
"The reason why I like you, senior."
" huh? "
"I'll tell you."
Kim Min-kyu, with his reddened ears and solemn expression, spoke to me, feeling uneasy and unable to look him in the eye. It was Kim Min-kyu who told me to look him in the eye. As I looked him in the eye, he opened his mouth.
"You are my ideal type."
"Ideal type?"
"When I'm with my senior, my heart beats fast and I get excited."
"Your face must be really red. Can you see my ears? They're red."
"I probably always blushed when I was with my senior."
"Yeah, I think so."
"I hate bullies."
"I didn't have a bad past, but I hated bullies for no reason."
"But I'm a bully. So shouldn't I hate you too?"
"That's right. I should have hated him, but I started liking him more. Even more so after I found out that he was a bully."
" why? "
"Was it sexy..?"
"Oh, okay!! I'm going."
"Why?? Are you embarrassed after hearing my confession?? "
"Ah, go away!!"
"You're blushing, your face is blushing, right?!!"

"So you dated Kim Min-gyu from the first period to the fourth period?"
"It's not a date..."
"If you go to a PC room together, then a movie theater, and a cafe, then it must be a date."
"I just went in and out of the movie theater."
"But the point here is that you tremble when you see him?"
Instead of answering, I nodded. Jeon Won-woo pondered it for a moment, then gestured for me to come closer. He whispered something unpleasantly in my ear.
"I'm in love, I'm in love."
"What the hell are you talking about?"
"You're in love with him. You like him! My heart is pounding, this is it!"
"Yeah, I don't believe it."
Jeon Won-woo's nonsense made no sense. If he was going to joke around, he should have done it properly. I couldn't understand Jeon Won-woo's nonsense, which made no sense.
Jeon Won-woo, who saw me not believing those words, had a look in his eyes as if he were looking at something pathetic. I hit Jeon Won-woo on the head, and his lips pout out like Kim Min-kyu's back then. "Oh, what's going on? Why is Kim Min-kyu here?"
***
"Are you going straight home?"
"Should I buy one?"
"No, go home. Kim Min-gyu is in the hallway."
***
"Senior, what did you talk about with Jeon Won-woo?"
"It's nothing."
"Senior, how about walking home from school with me? Is that okay?"
"Just like that, why?"
"I'm so excited I could die."
At that moment, my heart pounded violently again. To regain my senses, I turned my back on Kim Min-gyu and slapped my cheeks a couple of times. I don't know why he's been so captivating lately.

"I'm in love, I'm in love."
"What the hell are you talking about?"
"You're in love with him. You like him! My heart is pounding, this is it!"
"Yeah, I don't believe it."
Yoonseul shook her head dismissively, even though what I said was 100% accurate. I don't understand why she's so quick to dismiss it. She says her heart races faster than usual whenever she sees Kim Min-gyu, and she even blushes, saying she likes the feeling. Oh, right. Park Yoonseul is single. She has zero dating experience. Neither do I.
At first, Yoon-seul's words about her heart pounding whenever she saw Kim Min-gyu made my heart ache. It was a stabbing pain. Yoon-seul and An-ji had been together for 19 years (they were born in the same obstetrics and gynecology clinic), but this was the first time in those 19 years that she had felt this way.
As the bell rang, signaling the end of school, Yoonseul and I packed our bags. We sensed a presence at the back door and turned around. We saw Kim Min-gyu through the window next to the door. The bell had just rung, but seeing him standing there, we knew he must have rushed over to see Yoonseul. It didn't feel good.
But if this is the feeling you like, you'll have to give it up.
No, I'm going to give up.

"Thank you, bye."
Kim Min-gyu walked me home from school. I didn't realize it, but before I knew it, he was walking me home. I opened the door and tried to go inside, but Kim Min-gyu suddenly grabbed my bag strap and yanked it away.
I was thrown into Kim Min-gyu's arms.
"Senior, please be my girlfriend."
