'Wow... The rumors have spread, and you're coming to school...?'
'It's really creepy... It was all a lie from beginning to end.'
The children whispered as they watched Kim Yeo-ju walk to school. Yeo-ju quickly noticed the children's attitudes, which were strikingly different from usual. Hearing her story amidst the children's whispers, she became convinced: Koo Seong-hee had exposed everything.
Drumroll-
As the classroom door opened, all the children turned to Yeoju. They stared silently for about three seconds, then over twenty children began whispering again. Yeoju had fully expected this. Therefore, she felt somewhat indifferent.
"My lady..."
"huh?"
"No."
Chaerin, her best friend, approached Yeoju and took her hand. Chaerin, however, still refused to believe the rumors and trusted Yeoju. She believed the entire situation was a lie. Yeoju pulled away from Chaerin's hand and smiled sadly.
"I'm sorry, Chaerin."
"My lady..."
"The rumors are all true."
In response to Yeoju's response, the kids now began to openly criticize her. They didn't hesitate to make harsh remarks, from calling her creepy to suggesting she had Ripley Syndrome. Yeoju feigned composure and took a book out of her locker to read. She kept telling herself vaguely that she couldn't hear a word and that she was fine.
"I heard wrong."
The rumor spread quickly. Before school even ended, their informant, Jungkook, rushed to Taehyung and blurted out the words. Taehyung was so shocked by the news that his expression remained unchanged.
"Hey, seriously. Doram Girls' High School is already a total mess..."
"Why did the heroine insist on telling such a lie?"
"I'm shocked too. Why is this kid so good at studying, personality, and looks..."
"Someone must have spread it maliciously."
"Kim Yeo-ju said with her own mouth that the rumors were all true. Seon-hee said so."
"I won't believe it until I hear it from the heroine herself."
"So, Jeon Jungkook, you too, stop talking nonsense."
"······."
As soon as school ended, Taehyung ran straight to Doram Girls' High School. Even as he ran, he was certain. Yeoju wasn't that kind of person. Honestly, it was a ridiculous situation. He thought there was no way this angelic Yeoju, the Yeoju who had been so mean to him, could do such a thing.
"Kim Yeo-ju."
Taehyung caught Yeoju as she was leaving the school gates. Hearing her name, Yeoju looked straight ahead, but upon seeing that it was Taehyung who had called, she averted her gaze and walked in the opposite direction. Taehyung quickly followed and caught her.
"Why are you avoiding it?"
"Get out of the way."
"No, right."
"······."
"Say no."
"······. no."
"Why... Why don't you like me? No, you're a good kid."
"I never truly loved you. From that moment on, I'm trash. What makes you believe this?"
"No. Don't say such bad things to me."
"Hey. You and I broke up."
"······."
"Whatever I do, it's none of your business."
"······."
The woman passed by, tapping Taehyung on the shoulder. It was a shocking situation, but Taehyung composed himself and called out to her once more.
"My lady."
The woman's steps stopped as her voice, now softer and gentler than before, spoke. Taehyung sighed deeply and asked her a question. His voice was small, but clear.
"There really wasn't even a single moment?"
"I've never truly loved anyone."
Taehyung's expression now seemed as if he had given up on everything. The female protagonist's pupils, which had been completely still, began to waver.
"······."
"No, you're still lying."
"······. You don't know anything about me."
"I've liked you for over a year. The person I've seen in the past year isn't like this."
"······."
The silence continued. Yeoju clenched her hands, as if trying to hold back the tears welling up. She absolutely did not want to cry in front of Taehyung. True to her original plan, she wanted to become the worst person in Taehyung's world and be forgotten as soon as possible. After a few minutes of silence, Taehyung took a step or two closer to Yeoju and said.
"I think there must have been some reason why you absolutely did not want to be found out."
"······."
"Since we broke up like you said, I won't come back to you again."
"······."
Taehyung grabbed Yeoju's shoulder and stroked it, speaking. From Taehyung's perspective, it was a situation where a love affair that had lasted over a year was finally coming to an end. Even Taehyung, who had been holding back tears, began to well up.
"But, you know what? I..."
Taehyung's voice began to tremble. His throat tightened and his nose turned red. He fought back tears, not wanting to be seen crying for the last time.
"I would have loved you just for being Kim Yeo-ju."
