Study starts tomorrow, dating starts today

Episode 1: Three Male Lead Candidates

“Now, now, this is definitely going to be on the test! So take notes, and this part..“

 

Boring class time..

Hana casually pokes Dongmin, who’s sitting next to her, and pretends to look elsewhere.

Dongmin glances over briefly, then goes back to studying, as if this isn’t the first or second time he’s had to deal with this.

 

 

‘Damn it, he looks like a thug, but he never does anything else— —‘

 

Hana is resentful that Han Dongmin, who she’s hung out with since 7th grade, is the only one with good grades.

 

‘Of course I’m the one not paying attention in class, but to a math fail like me, math terms are nothing but alien languageㅠㅜ’

 

“Diiing-dong-🔔”

 

’Finally, it’s over!!‘

When the bell rings, Hana lets out a huge cheer inside her head, then looks at Dongmin and says,

 

 

“Dongmin! Let’s go to the snack bar with the others!”

 

“Okay”

 

“Sigh, why are you so scrawny!”

Today, your unni is treating everyone to everything!! Let’s go!!!”

 

“Ugh— hey, somebody stop her”

 

“Nah, let her be~ I love you, unnie♡”

 

“Can you handle it ㄱㄴ?”

 

In this noisy atmosphere, there’s someone quietly

‘crushing’ on someone.

 

Well, “quietly” is a stretch, considering you can tell just by looking where Dongmin’s gaze is headed, but

 

 

Hana, zero on the notice meter, still has no idea Dongmin is watching her and giggling to himself, so she keeps causing a ruckus again today..ㅎ….If it’s been since 7th grade, that’s pretty long already, huh..?^^

 

‘Diiing-dong-🔔‘

 

“Muna Hana, get up. Class started.”

 

Hana, who’d only just gotten back from the snack bar, has fallen asleep.

Thinking she had no idea the bell she’d cheered so loudly for a moment ago would become a bell she’d want to curse to death, she spends the time spaced out again.

 


 

Time passes, and before long it’s time to go home!

There’s nothing in the bag, but still, a student’s duty!

After packing her bag!

With a fluttering heart, she finishes homeroom,

And the duty of youth—getting ready to go out!!

 

“Dongmin, Sohyun, Dayunss!! Let’s go to the karaoke place with the others!”

 

”Of course we’re goings!“

 

”I can’t miss this either!!“

 

“Hmm..“

 

“Hey, Han Dongmin, if you say you’re going to cram school again, I’ll just go and kill yo—.”

 

 

“Eek..?! Hey, hey, there’s Jaehyun senior..”

 

“Whoa!! He’s insanely handsome”

  

“Ha.. how can someone look so much like a puppy..?”

 

“Huh?? Hey, I think he’s looking this way???“

 

”Hey, he’s coming, he’s coming..“

 

Jaehyun comes over smiling and hands Hana a USB and a small bag of snacks, saying,

 

“Hana! Here’s the USB you lent me! And this is a snack!

Thanks to you, we wrapped up the event well. Thanks.”

 

‘You could’ve just given it to me in the broadcasting club—why come all the way here..?’

Dongmin silently looks at Jaehyun and Hana, then pouts.

 

 

“Oooh, snacks too..!! Thank you..!“

 

”Then I’ll head out..!“

 

As Jaehyun walks away, the excited chatter only grows louder.

 

”Hey, Muna Hana, what are you?!“

 

”What is it, what is it?? Spill the tea faaast!!“

 

 

”What do you mean what is it.. I just got back the USB I lent him when I was in broadcasting club~ㅎㅎ“

 

Hana speaks, looking inwardly thrilled.

 

“Ah, forget it, let’s go!! Right, Dongminss, are you coming or what??”

 

Hana awkwardly rushes to change the subject.

 

“I’m going..”

 

“Good..! Let’s all hang out together like in the old days..!!”

 

.

.

.

 

For two hours, Hana has been happily burning through money and now walks home in small, quick steps, chattering away. And right beside her, as always, is Dongmin.

 

 

 

“No, so then he’s like this and that and blah blah blah~“

 

”..yeah“

 

“You know my temper, right? Blah blah blah~~~..”

 

Dongmin keeps his gaze fixed on Hana, who’s about 20 cm below him, and smiles as if she’s adorable.

 

Then, at that moment

 

“Oh?.. Kim Woonhak!!”

 

Hana waves and shouts at Woonhak, who’s walking over from far away.

 

 

“Hana noona~!!”

 

Woonhak runs over, delighted as if he’s found treasure, and gives Hana a big hug.

 

“Noona!! How long has it been??”

 

Hana peeks her face out from Woonhak’s arms like it’s nothing, but Dongmin makes a dumbfounded face.

‘….Who is that guy.. And why is he hugging Hana..??‘

 

”Wow~ you’ve grown a lot??

Your face is the same, but your height is what—..”

 

“Hey~ compare me to when I was in elementary school, seriously!”

 

“Kekekeh, but what brought you here..?”

 

Woonhak is a close younger brother who lived next door to Hana when she was in elementary school.

 

 

“I came to see noona♡♡”

 

“ㅋ.. There’s no way you rode in a car for 3 hours just to see me..”

 

“Hehe, my parents said they had something to do here, so I came along.”

 

Woonhak smiles brightly and looks at Hana

 

”But I did come to see noona too, hehe“

 

“Kekekek, sure, sure.”

Hana naturally reaches out and pats Woonhak on the head.

 

 

And Dongmin, who had been quietly listening from the side, taps Hana’s back for no reason and grumbles to himself, ‘You could look at me a little too…’

 


 

Hmm.. It’s my first time writing something like this, so even while writing I kept thinking, is this right..? but

seeing three handsome men makes me happy.
