600 to 1

ep 1. I hate myself for being like this, but I've fallen in love.

The bell rang and class began.

I sighed. I had to attend class, but all I could think about was the co-ed school.

How long has it been since I just blankly stared at the blackboard?

The front door opened with a creak.

???

Excuse me, is this class 3, grade 2?

A voice that was clearly a man's voice, but a bit high-pitched for a man, was heard from outside.

Is that kid named Park Jimin?

Why our class of all people...

박지민

hi.

A fairly tall man in casual clothes entered the door. His face was...

Just sleep?

Just sleep, just sleep, just sleep?

박지민

Hey, my name is Park Jimin, and I'm in your class starting today. Please take care of me.

Wow... you're handsome!

My heart started pounding like crazy.

Ah, sleepy heroine! Wake up. This won't do. I came to this middle school to avoid this.

While thinking that, I was watching closely to see what position Park Jimin would choose.

담임쌤

Jimin, where do you want to sit?

박지민

hmm..

I secretly wished it were me, but on the outside I tried to act calm.

박지민

I'm... next to him.

It was only after some time that I realized that Park Jimin's fingertips were pointing at me.

I felt my face flush.

박지민

hey.

Before I knew it, Park Jimin was standing next to me.

한여주

Uh... hello?

Park Jimin snorted. He felt a little chilly, but his heart continued to pound.

박지민

...please take care of me.

한여주

Ah... yeah! I agree!

Are you talking without even looking at the person?

If other boys had done that, I would have beaten them up for being rude, but strangely, their arms and legs felt weak.

Instead, I found myself lost in thought, just staring at that handsome face.

Is this love?

박지민

Where are you looking? Don't look.

Park Jimin scolded me. I felt bad, but I decided to look back.

Yeah. If you're going to peek at me like this and have a crush on me, you might as well confess to me so I can stare at you for hours without it being weird!

Wait a minute. If I do that... what if my grades drop because of him and I end up like in the webtoon?

Still, I decided. Love is more important than grades.
