Two-Way Unrequited Love (Kim Min-kyu)











At some point, Min-gyu and I started seeing each other...
I don't know why this rumor is going around when we're in different grades.
(Maybe it's because I teased too much)










Sometimes I hear rumors that we're secretly dating.










To be honest, I like Min-gyu. I could even say I love him.










"But..! Why.. why on earth.. is no one confessing..!!" Yeoju










"Oh, surprise... What are you doing?" Jihoon










"Min-gyu's Thoughts" Yeo-ju










"Just confess. He seems to like you too." Jihoon











"I even bought a ring..."
"Still... I want to receive a confession..." Yeoju










"Then it gets taken away~"
"He's handsome, so he's popular with the girls." Ji-hoon










"I know... but what if it's different?"
"I want to remain friends..." Yeoju










"You worry so much."
"There are people who don't know that he likes you" Jihoon










(Not listening) "Ah.., I don't know, I'm going to Min-gyu!" Yeo-ju










"Even if you help me, it's fucking..." Ji-hoon










Min-gyu's classroom-










"Min-gyu!" Yeo-ju










"Huh?" Mingyu










"Do you have time after school?" Yeoju










"Yes! I have it!" Min-gyu










"What... you want to come to the PC room with me" (Ugh...) Seungcheol










"Then come hang out with me after school!" Yeoju










"Yes~!" Mingyu










The female protagonist leaves Min-gyu's classroom...










"What? You said you wanted to play with me..." Seungcheol










"Let's double down next time. This is a matter of my life." Min-gyu










"Do you like Kim Yeo-ju that much? What kind of life is that...?" Han Sol










"You're my senior!" Min-gyu










"I really don't know your taste... There are so many pretty girls who like you, so why do you only like that one girl?" Wonwoo










"The female lead is prettier and cuter..." Min-gyu










"Single-minded... I can't watch it without crying" Seungcheol










"Ugh, I think I'm going to throw up" Hansol















-After school,










-In front of Min-gyu's class










"Min-gyu!" Yeo-ju










"Huh? It ended quickly?" Min-gyu










"Oh, because today is the day we finish early!" Yeoju










(Smiling) "Shall we go?" Mingyu










"Okay!" Yeoju















-School gate










(Checking phone) "..." Yeoju










"Why...? You don't look well... What's wrong?" Mingyu










"Ah... I'm sorry, but I can't go on a date today... My father got hurt..." Yeoju










"It's okay, my father is hurt, so I have to go!" Min-gyu










"....I'm really sorry.., instead.." Yeoju










"Here, I was originally going to give this to you when the mood was good, but I'll give it to you now. If you're interested, do it tomorrow!" Yeoju










Yeoju gave Min-gyu a small box and a letter and left school right away.










"...? What is this.." Min-gyu










(Suddenly) "Did you eat rice wrapped in rice during the lunch break?" Seungcheol










"Surprise... What is it?" Min-gyu










"I don't know, what is it? Are you getting hit by the wind?" Wonwoo










"There was a reason... and I gave this to you." Min-gyu










"Whether there's a reason or not, the fact that I've been hit on won't change" Wonwoo










"That's not important;;" Seungcheol










"What" Wonwoo










"You gave me this, why don't you open it?" Vernon










"Hey, you idiot, you should go somewhere quiet and open it instead of here!" Seungcheol

"What does the location matter?" Wonwoo











"This is the school gate where all the students come and go, my friend^^" Seungcheol

"Let's go~!" Seungcheol











Seungcheol dragged Mingyu and Vernon into the school (Wonwoo followed on his own)











-Min-gyu's class











"Okay, now let's check out what the gift is!" Seungcheol

"......" Min-gyu











"Wow, crazy" Wonwoo

"Wow..." Hansol

"Ring....huh?!" Seungcheol











His friends seemed to like him even more than Min-gyu.











(Smile) "So that's what you meant, 'If you have any thoughts, come back tomorrow'" Min-gyu










"Hey, there's a letter too. Read it." Wonwoo

"What? What does it say?" Seungcheol










"What is it? Show me!" Wonwoo










"It's late..."
"If I had known this would happen, I would have confessed sooner" Min-gyu










"You got a confession!?!" Hansol










"See, I told you so! You and that older sister were playing a game of wits!" Wonwoo










"Mingyu is finally dating a girl," Seungcheol said.










"You're not single, are you?" Min-gyu










"We met once" Hansol










"About... 57 days..?" Seungcheol










"I've never seen a guy who runs to pretty girls next to him and rejects them all. I thought he was a nerd; or maybe he was gay;;" Wonwoo










"What did you say;;;" Min-gyu










"Min-gyu, I was suspicious too," Han-sol said.










"Fortunately, my older sister Yeoju showed up and I realized you weren't that type of person," Seungcheol said.










"So... you're going to confess to me?" Hansol










"Of course, if it's Yeoju-noona's confession, I'll accept it no matter what." Min-gyu















-The next day










Min-gyu came wearing the ring that Yeo-ju gave him.
The girls who noticed that
I started to guess who gave me the ring.










(Hesitation) "...." Yeoju










"What? Why are you like this?" Ji-hoon










Yeoju and Jihoon were loitering in front of Minkyu's class.










"Hey, Mingyu" Jihoon










Jihoon entered Minkyu's class and approached him.










"Hyung...?" Mingyu










"Hands up," Ji-hoon










Jihoon saw the ring on Minkyu's hand and immediately went out to Minkyu.










"....What...?" Min-gyu










"Why is that guy acting like that...he's so scary..." Seungcheol










"That's what I mean..." Wonwoo










"Min-gyu!!" Yeo-ju










"What the...?" Mingyu










Yeoju ran to Min-gyu and hugged him.










"Really- really thank you...." Yeoju










"Thank you... what is it?" Mingyu










"Thank you for wearing that ring..." Yeoju











"I'm the one who's thankful for the courage, Min-gyu."











"Wow - Kim Min-gyu has a woman in his arms?"
"I can't believe I'm seeing this with my own eyes" Hansol










"Couple over there, I'm sorry for the shock, but there are people watching here too.... A little off, right?!" Seungcheol










"Leave it alone. It seems like everyone is gathered in the hallway to watch the show." Wonwoo











As Wonwoo said, the hallway was full of students.
It couldn't be helped... Kim Min-gyu, who was known for not being interested in women, showed interest in the female lead and started dating her?!
For the girls who liked Min-gyu, it was a bolt from the blue.









But, whether that's the case or not, the heroine and Min-gyu don't care...
I hope they continue to meet each other without worrying about their surroundings.
