박찬열 [옆집오빠]
I...I'm sorry... I... I don't feel anything for you as a romantic partner.

박찬열 [옆집오빠]
Ask the obvious.

찬열 친구

박찬열 [옆집오빠]
Are you asking because you don't know that?

![박찬열 [옆집오빠] image](https://cdnetphoto.appphotocard.com/fanfic/1245092/51987/character/thumbnail_img_10_20190110123127.png)
박찬열 [옆집오빠]
You're totally fat and ugly..!!

박찬열 [옆집오빠]
Just thinking about dating someone like that... Ugh, it's disgusting.

찬열 친구
Lol, I guess so... I admit it lol


김예주
[I can hear everything... why did you have to do that right in front of me... you jerk...]


김예주
Sob sob... Why are you crying... Kim Ye-ju... (wiping away tears)


김예주
It would be such a waste of my tears to shed them because of a guy like that... *sob*

That was my first and last confession...

It was only then that I realized..

I wonder why the boys make that disgusted face when I talk to them.

Are people I meet for the first time cold to me?

I wonder why the girls look at me like I'm a bug

I wonder why true love never comes to me.

and..

All of this is because of my appearance,

No, I mean that it is because the world is obsessed with appearance.


김예주
Ow... that hurts...

So I secretly tried self-harm in my room.


김예주
There's no reason to live when no one loves me!!


김예주
...Mom, Dad... and my older sister and brother... I loved you..



김예주
[...Let's die]

I even tried suicide like that, but

I just couldn't bring myself to commit suicide... No,

I didn't even have the courage to do that.

I had neither the courage to live... nor the courage to die.

Then... a thought suddenly crossed my mind

You don't necessarily have to die...

You just have to become pretty..!

김예주
...Unnie~


김희주
Ugh, I almost threw up.


김희주
Why... is there anything you want?


김예주
The thing is... you know, sis... you're working a part-time job...


김희주
Yeah, but?


김예주
...Can't... you... let me... get liposuction with that?


김희주
Hey! Just lose weight...


김희주
Why waste money on liposuction?


김예주
That's because losing weight is hard..


김희주
(Placing 30,000 won in front of Yeoju) Use this to buy something delicious to eat and cheer up.


김희주
I'm going to my part-time job..!


김예주
Phew..


김예주
So what do I do now...


김석진
...? Why the sigh... My Princess Yeju... Is something wrong...?


김예주
That's... not it...


김예주
...Oppa... Am I really fat?


김석진
Huh? No!



김석진
You're not fat at all?


김예주
Really...? I'm not kidding?


김석진
Hmm... I look a little healthy... not fat...


김예주
(In a low voice)...That means you're fat...


김석진
No, not really~ haha


김예주
Then... let me get liposuction too... so I can become slender like Kim Hee-ju...


김석진
(Lightly smacking the female lead's forehead) What do you mean Kim Hee-ju! It's Hee-ju Unnie..!


김석진
...And... liposuction is a no-no.


김예주
Ah, whyyy...


김석진
Instead... I can go to the gym... do you want to go with me?


김예주
uh..?

And so, 3 years, 6 months, and 13 days passed...

I became pretty

Also, I got slimmer... and

I'm not Kim Ye-ju anymore, and I don't want to, but...

The thing I hate most is... having my past found out..

So... I even changed my name to hide my past.

Ah... so... you're asking what my name is? Heh


김여주
Yeoju... Kim Yeoju... heh


김여주
...No... heh. I'm Kim Yeo-ju, who became pretty starting today heh.
