This is a front-page story. The unrequited love of our school's most popular student!

" Daniel! Why are you coming now? "
Daniel! Why now? ((Huening





Yeonjun smiled as he patted Huening's arm, who was putting him in a headlock.





" Oh, I'm sorry.  I'm going to see my friend. "
Oh, sorry sorry. I was just going to meet a friend ((Yeonjun


" Who? Callie? "
Who? Cali? ((Huening


" Nope "
No ((Fed


" And then... Amy? "
Then... Amy? ((Huhing





Taehyun, seeing Yeonjun's unusual face, sighed deeply and closed his drawer door.

" Danny, stop making girls cry. The women you made cry are one truck. "
Denny, stop making women cry. You've made a truckload of women cry. ((Taehyun




Huening listened carefully to Taehyun's words and then started whispering to Yeonjun.




photo
" He thinks he's not "
I guess he doesn't know that ((huening


" Shut up, HUENINGKAI "
I can hear you all, Huening Kai. ((Taehyun





Of course, Taehyun could hear the voice. Yet, Yeonjun couldn't hear a word. Apparently, Yeonjun wasn't the only one who felt love.






photo
" When should I say i love you? "
When will you confess? ((Yeonjun


" What? You... you really want to say you love her? I heard it's your second time seeing her "
What? Are you serious? You said this is your second time meeting him ((Taehyun





Taehyun, who had been quietly listening from the side, was startled and shouted.






" If it's two times, we've met a lot! Lisa confessed to me the last time we met? "
Twice is a lot of times! Didn't Lisa confess to me the first time we met? ((Yeonjun


" But Lisa knew you even before she confessed to you. Wait... Did you accept LISA? "
But Lisa knew you before she confessed to you. Ah... Wait, did you accept Lisa? ((Taehyun


photo
" Oh, i'm so sorry to say 'No'. So I accepted it "
Ah, I refused so I accepted ((Yeonjun


" Damn it. "
Oh my... ((Taehyun


" w, We broke up now!! I've never liked her... I'm not gonna get a confession again. Really... Really... "
J, we're broken up now!! I never liked you... I'll never confess to you again. Really. ((Yeonjun


photo
" Daniel! you're a piece of shit "
Daniel! You're such a piece of trash ((huening


" the best waste "
The best trash. ((Taehyun


" Ugh... Get out of my way! I'm going to see Luna!! "
Ugh... Get out of the way! I'm going to meet Luna!! ((Yeonjun


" You just met "
We just met, right? ((Huhing


photo
" I'll ask you to have lunch with me. So you two, don't follow me. "
I'm going to ask you to have lunch together. So you two, don't follow me. ((Yeonjun






Taehyun, who was quietly listening to their conversation from the side, muttered with a shocked expression.

" The pure love of our school's kingcard. "
The pure love of our school's kingka. (Taehyun

I sat on a bench, eating lunch, feeling lonely. Perhaps because there were more Asian Americans than I'd expected, or perhaps because there were a lot of international students, there was no racism.

So, although I had many friends who approached me first, that was it. I couldn't find any friends to hang out with... Ah, of course, it was partly due to the language barrier, but shyness also played a part.






" ...Kim Yeo-ju? " ((??







My eyes widened at the familiar voice I heard in this unfamiliar land, and I turned around in surprise.








"Choi Soo-bin?! " ((Yeoju


photo
"That's right, Kim Yeo-ju" ((Subin







My childhood friend, Subin, was right before my eyes. In disbelief and unbearable joy, I hugged her.






"I missed you so muchㅠㅠㅠㅠ" ((Yeoju






Subin chuckled and patted me on the back. It was a touching reunion with an old friend.






"So, Yeoju..." ((Subin






Then someone interrupted Subin and stood in front of us.






"Hey, heroine?" ((Yeonjun






Soobin, like me, or perhaps even more shy than me, jumped up from her spot with her pupils dilated.





" Daniel! We're seeing each other again? "
Daniel! We meet again? ((Yeoju






Yeonjun smiled at me with a slightly sad expression.






" Lunch... I was thinking about eating with you... But you had a friend "
Lunch... I was thinking of eating together... but I had a friend ((Yeonjun


" Oh... He is my...! "
Ah... this kid...! ((Yeoju


photo
" It's okay, Yeoju. ah... Luna. sorry. Then I'll go first
It's okay, Yeoju, no, Luna. Then I'll go first. " ((Yeonjun






Yeonjun waved his hand and walked away, stumbling weakly.






"Shouldn't I go..." ((Subin


" ...Yeah, but Daniel has a lot of friends. And I don't think it's my place to step forward." ((Yeoju

" Danny, are you crying now?
Denny, are you crying? " Jisoo





Yeonjun, who had been running without a plan, leaving Taehyun and Huening behind, met Jisoo who was passing by.





photo
Joshua...
Joshua... ((Fed


"Oh my god..." ((Jisoo





He had been sobbing, but upon hearing Jisoo's question, he burst into tears. Jisoo, looking flustered, then sat Yeonjun down and patted him.





" What's going on? "
What's going on? ((Jisoo


photo
" Shua, I... I think I'm the only one who's confused... "
Shua, I think I was the only one mistaken... ((Yeonjun


" Deluded? "
Illusion? ((Index


" I thought it was special because it was me... I almost got it wrong by myself "
I thought it was special because I was in the country... I almost made a mistake ((Yeonjun





After hearing Yeonjun's words, Jisoo tilted her head and asked.





photo
" Denny, did you mistake your crush for liking you? "
Denny, did you ever think that the person you have a crush on likes you back? ((Jisoo






Yeonjun, without saying a word, filled his mouth with air and turned his head in excitement. Jisoo, seeing Yeonjun like that, slapped her forehead and shook her head.






" Where should I start teaching you... "
Where should I start teaching you... ((Jisoo


" Forget it! I'm not going to like it anymore!! "
That's enough! I won't like you anymore!! ((Yeonjun


photo
" Can you do that? Just liking it and not liking it. It's not your heart from the moment you think you like someone. "
Is that okay? It's okay to like and dislike moderately. The moment you think you like someone, that's not your heart. ((Jisoo






Yeonjun looked at Jisoo, sobbing. Jisoo felt her vision fading. It seemed like Yeonjun's love wouldn't fade easily.








photo
"Help me... Joshua..." ((Yeonjun


" Denny, I can't speak Korean. "
Denny, I can't speak Korean ((Jisoo
