From the first day of transferring to school, I was picked on by a group of punks like a beggar.

''Okay, heroine. Should I come forward and introduce myself?'' ((Minhyun







At the teacher's words, I swallowed hard and stood up. Everyone stared at me, and I stood next to the teacher, burdened by their stares.






'' Ah, hello! My name is Yeoju. Please take care of me from now on! '' ((Yeoju









I nodded and went back to my seat. When I returned, Yeonjun smiled brightly and pulled my chair back a little so that I could hug him comfortably.


I felt like my heart was pounding for no reason.


First day of school? Not bad.
Of course, not everyone thought well of me. Half of them glared at me, while the other half looked at me with interest.

Actually, I said half, but the former was a little more?

''I, I...'' ((Taeho







I turned my head at the sound of someone calling me.








'' Ah, hello! My name is Yoo Tae-ho... '' ((Tae-ho








I said with a faint smile.







'' Nice to meet you, Taeho. I'm Yeoju '' ((Yeoju


'' Oh, I know... I heard it earlier... '' ((Taeho









Taeho spoke in a increasingly raspy voice. "Why aren't Kang Taehyun and Choi Beomgyu, who were supposed to be going to the bathroom, coming back?" "Honestly, it's so awkward I could die."

There is probably no situation more uncomfortable than being talked to by a guy you just met.









'' Hey, eat this!! '' ((Taeho









Taeho gave me a piece of gum and quickly returned to his seat.









'' Oh, '' ((Yeoju









A person who gives you food = a good friend
There's a reason why that formula exists. Now, I feel grateful for the friend who had been a burden until just a moment ago.











''What is that?'' ((Yeonjun


'' Gum! '' (( Yeoju

''Gum? What gum?'' ((Yeongjun








Yeonjun sat down next to me and asked, "What's the big deal?" I said proudly, waving a piece of gum in front of him.







''I got it from a good friend!'' ((Yeoju


'' Have you already made a friend? '' ((Yeonjun








Yeonjun asked, giving me a nod. I nodded and opened the wrapper around the gum.









''Who gave it to you?'' ((Yeonjun


'' Taeho '' ((Yeoju


''Taeho? Yoo Taeho?'' ((Yeonjun


'' Yes! '' ((Yeoju







The moment I was about to put the gum in my mouth, Yeonjun snatched it away. Then he stuffed it right into my mouth.








'' Huh...? '' ((Yeoju








I looked at my empty hands once, and at Choi Yeonjun once.

Cancel the excitement I had earlier.








'' Hey...! What is it!! '' ((Yeoju

''Because I want to eat gum.'' ((Yeonjun


'' It's mine, mine... '' ((Yeoju








Yeonjun was flustered when he saw me crying and froze in place.







''Wow!! Even Choi Beom-gyu doesn't do that!!'' ((Yeoju


''I'll buy you something delicious at the store later.'' ((Yeonjun


''Really...?'' ((Yeoju








I looked at Yeonjun with a suspicious expression. Yeonjun chuckled and extended his pinky finger at me.









'' Yeah! Promise! '' ((Fed


''I'm really going to eat a lot.'' ((Yeoju


''You can eat whatever you want.'' ((Yeonjun








I quickly hooked my pinky finger into Yeonjun's hand and even stamped my seal with him.








''Then why did you take the gum?'' ((Yeoju

''Except for the gum from before.'' ((Yeonjun


''Why?'' ((Yeoju


''Because you're jealous...?'' ((Yeonjun


'' Huh, did you hate me eating gum that much? '' ((Yeoju








Yeonjun blinked his eyes and looked at me, then stroked my head and smiled with his teeth evenly spaced.

'' Hahaha then let's do that. '' ((Yeonjun
