“Please, let’s just get away from it this time.”
“Don’t worry, I’ll get it no matter what.”
It's my first time changing seats since I started my second year. When I first came to class, I just sat there, but since this is the designated time for changing seats, I'm determined to do it this time.
After a while,
"So, everyone changed seats?"
"..Is it really corruption?"
" under.. "
It seems like the entire universe is conspiring to bring me and Choi Soo-bin together. No, I deliberately chose to be picked right after Choi Soo-bin, so I could fall behind.
Does it make sense for numbers 5 and 6 to come out side by side? They're just pulled from the back to the front!
Eventually I activated the cheat key.
Break time,
" excuse me.. "
" uh..? "
“Do you have good eyes?”
“Huh? No..?”
“Right?! No.. I’m sitting in front, so I think it would be better if you sat in my seat.”
“Oh, is your partner by any chance..?”
“He may be Choi Soo-bin, but he’s not a bad guy.”
“Subin..?! ”
“Uhhh… why? Is it so bad that you don’t want to change it?”
“No..no! That’s not it.. ”
“Then you’ll change it?!”
“Oh, uh.. thank you!”
"Huh..? No! I'm more grateful."
I suggested we swap seats with the girl wearing glasses sitting behind me. Well, it wasn't a bad thing, I was being considerate.
Of course, it's uncomfortable to have to sit with someone I'm not close with, but I think it's better than being stuck with Choi Soo-bin.
So, after the break, I went to my new seat and looked at Choi Soo-bin, who was sitting in front of me, and she seemed quite flustered.
He needs to develop some friendliness like that too.
Of course me too..
at that time,
" hi? "
“Huh? ”
"I think this is my first time pairing with you. I don't think we did it last year either."
"Oh.. Were you in the same class last year?"
“Don’t you remember?”
” ..? “
A man I'm meeting for the first time talks to me as if he knows me. No, I've only seen this on YouTube. What could I possibly remember when I only have two friends?
"It's okay. I only said it once."
“Oh.. sorry.”
“My name is...”
“ … ”
"Choi Beom-gyu. Are you Yeoju? Kim Yeoju."
"Huh..? Oh, right"
Wow... he's so handsome. Why can't I even remember such a handsome man? Reflect on yourself, Kim Yeo-ju.
My new partner, who happens to be a handsome guy, is the one who approaches me first? This is a sign from God. I'm finally getting to date.
His good looks automatically lifted my shyness. So, I took classes with my new friend, Beomgyu, and chatted about all sorts of things.
I couldn't concentrate in class because of my face...
After class,
"Hey, Kim Yeo-ju, why are you changing seats without permission?"
"Oh, I couldn't say it because I changed it right before break time ended."
" .. okay "
” ..? “
As soon as class ended, Choi Soo-bin came to me and seemed to question me about switching seats, but then just went back to her seat. What the...?
"That's Soobin."
"Do you know Choi Soo-bin?"
"You're popular with girls."
"Oh.. right. But you're a man."
"Haha.. no, I mean, it's so popular that even the boys know~"
".. I have no idea what makes him handsome"
"Really? He's tall and handsome."
"Hey, that handsome face has been around since ancient times..."
Swish,
" huh? "
“..!! No.. no”
I was a little surprised to see the handsome face I was about to describe so blatantly right next to me. No, I was very surprised. I barely managed to calm my startled heart.
“Handsome..! His face.. Anyway, it’s not him.”
“Yeonju, you’re more discerning than I thought.”
"What... no, that's not it"
"Hey, if you think Subin is ugly, you're being picky."
"That's not true.."
"Phew.. Okay, okay"
How can you smile so beautifully... Beomgyu, I think I fell in love with you at first sight.
Time passed and it was lunchtime.
"Let's go eat, Kim Yeo-ju"
"Okay. Just a moment."
“Hey, can I eat with you today?”
"Huh? Beomgyu, you too?"
Of course I'm grateful. How delicious would lunch be with such a handsome guy...
" .. no "
" uh? "
"Hey, Choi Soobin and Beomgyu asked me? Why are you answering?"
" .. no "
Given my and Soobin's nature as people who spend a lot of time outdoors, having lunch with strangers can be quite uncomfortable. Well, I guess I should understand...
"Ugh... Beomgyu, just like Subin, you're hiding a lot during the day, so it's going to be tough today. Let's eat separately next time."
"Yeah, yeah. I can't help it."
Oh my, you have a kind heart too.. Our Beomgyu doesn't have any flaws?
I dragged Choi Soobin, who was glaring at Beomgyu for some reason, down to the cafeteria. Was he really this wary?
"Why did you glare at Beomgyu earlier?"
"Huh... When did you become so close that you're already calling me Beomgyu?"
"What? Kim Yeo-ju finally has a boyfriend?"
"Male friend? I'd prefer a boyfriend."
" what? "
“Oh, boyfriend?”
“I think I fell in love with Beomgyu at first sight.”
"That's funny. You just like anyone who's good-looking."
“This has been going on since a while ago..!”
“If you’re a candidate for the female lead’s boyfriend, I have to meet you again.”
“They say he’s really handsome, even from far away, he has a halo..ㅇ”
at that time,
Swish,
“Hey, do you like chocolate milk?”
"..!! Huh? "
“Because you always drink chocolate milk after lunch.”
“Huh? Oh, right! I’m going crazy!!”
"Really? That's a relief. I went to the store, but they only had chocolate."
“Oh.. thank you! Thank you so much.”
“Enjoy your meal and see you later in class.”
“Uh..oh! Okay!”
I was startled. Did he perhaps hear me speaking as I spoke? No, I don't think I spoke that loudly.
No, this thump thump and jumping feeling... It's not my first time, but it's exciting and not bad as if it were my first time.
And he brought me chocolate milk so cutely.. He's probably the only one in the world who can bring me chocolate milk so cutely..
“Hey.. You already figured out Kim Yeo-ju’s tastes?”
"He was in the same class as me last year! But why don't I know anything about him?"
"It seems like you even know my dessert preferences..."
” ..? “
"This is 500% mutually beneficial. My gut tells me so."
“Is that so, Mr. Fed..?! ”
"Okay, okay"
Choi Yeonjun, the only one of the three of us to have ever been in a relationship, is like a teacher to me now. I respect Yeonjun, the teacher who successfully guided my first relationship.
at that time,
“Huh… They’re just playing around. What kind of relationship is Kim Yeo-ju in?”
“What can’t I do?!”
"I can see clearly that you'll cry and make a fuss later because you're embarrassed about drinking kimchi stew alone. I can see it."
“But Choi Soo-bin, why have you been reacting like that since earlier?”
"What am I"
“Aren’t you happy that the heroine is finally leaving your side? Weren’t you the one who wanted to be separated from me more than anyone else since long ago?”
“Hey, he can’t do anything without me.”
"Huh? Who would say that?"
"No, really? Can our handsome guy fill that annoying spot of yours?"
"Huh... what does that pretty-looking kid know how to do? It's obvious he's never done the dishes at home."
“The female protagonist is good at that.”
"Anyway! I'm absolutely against Kim Yeo-joo dating."
“Do you think I can’t do it just because you object?”
I'm definitely going to date Beomgyu. I have to date him, even if it's just to see Choi Soobin suffer.
Seriously, he's not even my mom or dad, so why is he interfering with my relationship like that? My mom and dad are even going out of their way to tell me to date.
I'm telling you, everything I can't do is because of him?
I didn't realize until then how much of a ripple effect this reshuffle would have.
