Shining Entourage

My name is Lee Ju-yeon


I don't really like to dress up, so I don't wear makeup.
I always wear glasses.
The length of the school uniform skirt is just above the knees
To put it nicely, it's a common style
If you express yourself in words you don't want to hear, you're a loner



But I'm not an outcast because I have good friends.



Jooyeon-ah, let's go to the store


uh


I don't know why Yeo-ju hangs out with Lee Joo-yeon.


An ugly guy next to a pretty girl
It seems like you're talking about them specifically


These are the words I always hear when my friend Kim Yeo-ju and I hang out together.



My friend Yeoju is pretty
I wear makeup and my uniform fits my body perfectly.
Wear shorts


Hey, Lee Ju-yeon



huh?



this



A boy handing out a gift


I'll tell Yeoju



thank you



This isn't the first or second time this has happened, I'm used to it now
Receive it and give it to the female protagonist.



It is no exaggeration to say that almost all the male students in the school are women.
The female protagonist was popular with the male students.



But one day, because of an incident that happened
I wonder why the female protagonist kept hanging out with me
I found out



Heading to the cafeteria to eat lunch together as usual
Me and the female protagonist


I was sitting and eating



Can I sit down?



Oh, no, it doesn't matter



When I raised my head, I saw the 7 emperors of our school
They were



There were plenty of seats, so I wondered why I had to sit here.



I guess you're interested in the female lead.



And I was just eating my food



Lee Ju-yeon over there



Kim Taehyung, known as the sixth emperor, calls me.



Yes, senior



Senior, why don't you just call me oppa?



That's a bit inconvenient
But what's going on?



Hey, can you give me your phone number?



yes?



Hey, brother, I'll give it to you.
Please don't bother our protagonist.



omg



I bowed my head again and ate my food.



I don't need your number, Lee Joo-yeon
This is my number



Before I knew it, you took my phone
I entered my number and saved it as Taehyung oppa
The Sixth Emperor



My face turned red at my first rejection
The heroine who is on fire



For some reason, it seemed like the female protagonist kept avoiding me that day.



Then I heard something shocking in the bathroom.



Yeoju, why do you hang out with Lee Jooyeon?



So that I can shine



I never thought the heroine would be so friendly with me
I never dreamed of it


The next morning



I woke up earlier than usual



Because from today onwards I will also put on makeup
I decided to dress up a bit and go out.



I put on some makeup that I hadn't done before and touched up my hair a bit.
I also wore the school uniform that my older sister used to wear.



My older sister doesn't know about anything else, but she loves school uniforms.
I used to wear it in a way that fit perfectly.


It's not the glasses I wear because my eyesight is bad, it's just
I threw it away


In the mirror, I look so pretty that I don't even recognize myself.



As I left the house to go to school, Taehyung was standing in front of me.



Wow, Jooyeon-ah



Senior Taehyung can't take his eyes off me, constantly exclaiming in admiration.



Why have you been hiding this all this time?
Jooyeon, you're really pretty


I heard Taehyung's one word that I was pretty
My face turns red



But what's going on, senior?



I came to go to school together
Let's go quickly



The remaining six people were waiting at the apartment gate.



Hey, is that Lee Joo-yeon?



If you're so pretty, why did you cover it up all this time?



Our Taehyung would like it




The Seven Emperors, each with a word to say


As soon as I entered the school, there was chaos.



Who is he?


Are you a new transfer student?



Oh my, that's Lee Joo-yeon



What? Lee Joo-yeon
Lee Joo-yeon was that pretty?



To me who comes in with the 7 emperors
The female protagonist approaches, pretending to be friendly.



Jooyeon, you look really pretty today
Hello, brothers



Who is your brother?
Just call me senior


Among the Seven Emperors, Senior Yoongi is known for being prickly.



Hey, did Kim Yeo-ju look that ordinary?


He said he hung out with Jooyeon to make himself look better.
I've become Lee Joo-yeon's sidekick



Jooyeon, listen well in class and I'll come see you again later.


Senior Taehyung bent down and touched my head slightly.
After messing up, they go to their classroom.



The other six waved at me and went their separate ways.



Are you dating Taehyung?



The female protagonist asks me with a hardened expression.



no



But why do we go to school together?



He came all the way to my house, so I came with him.



Jooyeon, if Taehyung confesses to you, will you accept it?



You know I had a crush on Taehyung



The heroine hears that sound and goes back to her seat.



And then he didn't say anything to me until lunchtime.
Laughing and having fun with other kids



Lunch time



In the cafeteria where almost all the students gathered
Holding flowers and couple rings
Taehyung confesses to me while bending one knee



I like you a lot, no, I love you
Jooyeon, go out with me



Woof woof



Cheers are heard from all around.



Accept it, accept it, accept it



I have a crush on Kim Taehyung
There was no reason to refuse



yes



I'm so busy that my answer is delayed
Taehyung, who woke me up and hugged me tightly




I love you Lee Joo-yeon




Me too, senior




Kiss kiss kiss



At the words of Jimin, who was watching from the side
Again, they all shout "Let's kiss together"




Senior Taehyung smiled and patted my cheeks.
Hold it and kiss it deeply



We're about to eat each other's tongues
was sucking



But Jooyeon
How long are you going to call me senior?



Then what should we call it?



Oppa, Taehyung oppa, try it



Taehyung oppa hehe



We started like this and got married
I have a pretty daughter and a handsome son and we are living well.
