A mad dog that only obeys me

Episode 1

It's a bright, sunny morning.

As I was walking along the blackened asphalt blocks, I was bothered by someone's call that was right in my ear.

전정국

Princess!

공여주

...

Here we go again.

I pretended not to notice the name I was calling out so softly and hurried my steps. But my efforts were in vain, as I was soon caught up with.

전정국

Princess, why are you going alone?

I raised my eyebrows at the word being called twice in a row.

공여주

You told me to stop calling you that damn princess.

I pushed away the hand resting slyly on my shoulder and looked at Jeon Jungkook. He always looked untidy, with a button or two undone.

전정국

Why don't you like it? Even though you're a princess.

This stubborn person has been insisting on using that nickname since the first time they met, saying that it's the same whether it's a princess or a princess.

I didn't like the title "princess" more than the fact that a single letter of her name was missing.

공여주

Then your name is National.

Then, I sarcastically called him "National Boy," and he just laughed. I didn't mean to do that.

전정국

Yeah, fine. Whatever you call it.

Even if you changed my name to "Doenjangguk," I'd still laugh. It seems like being completely crazy is a chronic disease that won't be cured no matter what you do.

공여주

I don't know, don't follow me.

Unable to communicate, he averted his gaze again. It was a silent expression that he had no interest in you anymore.

Jeon Jungkook, who knows that,

전정국

Princess. Should I buy you some chocolate milk?

He's trying to tempt me with something cowardly to eat.

공여주

...two.

And, it was only natural that I couldn't handle it.

전정국

You're so cute, I'll buy you everything.

Fuck.

Although my pride is hurt, I am slurping down the chocolate milk that Jeon Jungkook bought me.

전정국

Even the squeaky-squeaky things are pretty.

공여주

Go eat some shit.

I almost heard of this case, but now I can block it with one middle finger.

I stare at the raised finger and then smack my lips against it.

공여주

Hey, you... you crazy.

I pulled my arm away from the guy, startled by the tingling sensation that surged from my fingertips.

Then, Jeon Jungkook makes a face like a lamb who knows nothing.

전정국

Why? Wasn't it this?

Absolutely not. Judging by that sinister expression on his lips, he must have known it wasn't true. That wolf-like bastard.

I spoke to him, who was still looking at me with eyes dripping with affection.

공여주

Try treating other kids like this too.

"I'll take the student body president position for free, man." I roll my eyes, and he just stares blankly at me.

전정국

The only thing I like is princesses.

...That's not what I meant. Even when I sigh and avoid eye contact, his gaze clings tenaciously.

공여주

Why do I like it?

A question suddenly occurred to me. Why on earth does he like me? I'm nothing special.

Adding weight to that question was Jeon Jungkook's original personality. Just a few months ago, that Jeon Jungkook.

His personality was several times more annoying than it is now.

It was the day of the freshman orientation. Having come to this remote high school without knowing a single person, I simply stared at the speakers.

"So our proud students-"

What caught my attention, along with the thought of why all the principals were bald, was a group of men.

"Fuck, it's so hot."

With a couple of buttons undone and their ties down, it was hard to see them as being the kind of students who were just being nice. They looked like they were just playing around.

공여주

...loudly.

Who knew they were listening quietly because they liked it? I hated the hustle and bustle of the auditorium, where everyone thought they were the only ones there.

So, it's a quiet, soliloquy. Words I never thought would reach that far.

전정국

Who just now-

공여주

?

The one who seemed to be the most central of the group slowly turned his head towards me. Our eyes met in an instant.

전정국

Wow, wow.

What the heck? Is there something surprising behind me? I turned around to see a child who couldn't help but exclaim in admiration, but lo and behold, there was nothing.

And when I turn my head again, what I see is,

전정국

You're so pretty. Are you a princess?

Jeon Jungkook, who thrust his face in front of me without even blinking.

공여주

What the hell is that?

That was our first meeting.
