600 to 1

ep 2. The competition rate of 600 to 1 is too much!

Break time is almost over.

On the way back to class after going to the bathroom. But...

Why are there so many people?!

no way..

Is this all because of Park Jimin?!

I pushed through the crowd and barely made it into the classroom.

I sat down. I was out of breath, like a marathon runner.

Park Jimin didn't even go out, but was looking at people with an expression so dreary that it was unpleasant to look at.

The teacher seemed embarrassed too.

담임쌤

Yeoju?

한여주 image

한여주

yes?

담임쌤

Could you please tell those kids to go to their class? It's too noisy.

한여주 image

한여주

Ah.. yes!

With that I went outside and loudly asked people to go back to their class.

The third-year seniors occasionally gave me annoyed looks, but they all went back to their classes anyway.

The moment I entered the class again, the paper rang.

I sat down for the next class. Park Jimin was wearing that irritated expression he'd had on during the first period.

Lunch time.

Our school is the best~~~ They even serve brioche for lunch~~~

I don't know if it's because it's the closing ceremony, but brioche was the special dish today. Brioche is my younger brother's favorite snack.

한여주 image

한여주

That's right~~ It's delicious~~

최연하

I have to eat it all♡

한여주 image

한여주

Oh, by all means, don't ask me for it later!

최연하 image

최연하

Don't worry, it won't rain!

As expected, he's younger than me...

Suddenly someone tapped me on the shoulder.

한여주 image

한여주

who-

Before I could even finish speaking, a brioche practically flew onto my plate.

박지민 image

박지민

Eat.

Hmm? I'm okay?

한여주 image

한여주

Uh.. thank you.. but.. I'm fine. You eat it.

박지민 image

박지민

Just eat it? Think of it as a reward for chasing people away.

한여주 image

한여주

I'm really fine. You eat it. It's not like you asked me to do it for you-

박지민 image

박지민

Hey, Mr. Hey, you're really talking nonsense. If you give it to me, just take it!

A look of confusion was evident on his face.

Well, it would be embarrassing if you gave it as a token of gratitude and the other person rejected it.

Now that it's come to this, it'll be hard to refuse.

한여주 image

한여주

Oh... Okay! I'll eat well!

Park Jimin pulled down his hood and walked away leisurely.

최연하 image

최연하

Wow! Free brioche? That would be awesome!

The younger man looked at me with envious eyes. His eyes seemed so earnest.

한여주 image

한여주

Okay, okay. Let's split it half and half!

최연하 image

최연하

Really?! Thank you!

Before I could answer, Yeon-ha snatched the brioche from my hand, broke it in half, and took one half.

I can't stop it, really!

I raised my face without thinking...

..and I was surprised.

The whole school was looking at me and gossiping.

Is it because Park Jimin gave me brioche?

Because I was afraid of the gaze, I quickly ate my lunch and dragged my younger friend out of the cafeteria.

phew..

최연하 image

최연하

Hey, what's wrong?

The younger brother, who knew nothing, kept asking why he was doing that.

Seriously, I didn't know this would happen.

No, love is a test, but the competition rate of 600 to 1 is too much!

Love is something that can't be achieved no matter how hard you try!

What should I do now?
