[Contest] The heroine is mine
07. Friday
(Daniel's point of view)
I kept giggling.
I loved everything so much: that the female lead cheered up, that she opened her heart to me, that she called my love "little one," and that her cheeks turned red.
Yeoju♥Daniel, Daniel♥Yeoju~! These thoughts kept swirling around in my head.
In the end, I only stopped laughing and left the house after getting nagged by my mom and slapped on the back. Today was a fun Friday night. I headed to school, lost in happy daydreams.
(On the way to school, third-person perspective)

"Oh! Daniel! Long time no see!"
Daniel's closest friend was Seong-woo, who was one year his senior.
강다니엘
"Oh! Hyung~~ heh"
Seong-woo put his arm around Daniel's shoulder and said with a smile.
옹성우
"Our Niel~~ You look like you're in a really good mood today?! Did something good happen?? Did you get a girlfriend?"
Daniel said while jumping up and down.
강다니엘
"Hehehe, not quite that far, just kind of like we're seeing each other? I love you so much~♥"
옹성우
"Oh really??! OMG! That's crazy~! You got him/her before me? OMG... I'm so jealous.... Can I come see him/her after school?"
강다니엘
"Yes! But she's super pretty, so you might fall in love the moment you see her. Even if you do, the female lead is mine! Got it?"
옹성우
"Hmm~ Reallyyy~~~? Is she that pretty? If she's really super pretty and I fall for her, I'll steal her and make her my girlfriend~"
"Ah! Absolutely not!!! Yeoju is mine! I will never let my Yeoju be taken away!!" Daniel shakes his head, refusing to budge. (Shakes head)
Seong-woo looked at Daniel and laughed, saying he was cute despite his large size.
The two of them talked like that all the way to school. When they arrived at the glass door and were about to head to their respective classrooms, Seong-woo shouted loudly, "Just you wait!! I'm definitely going to win Yeoju over and make her mine!!" and quickly ran away.
강다니엘
"Oh! This won't do... The female lead is mine..."
*Click.* As soon as Daniel opened the classroom door and stepped inside, his eyes were drawn to the place where Yeoju was. "Yeoju~"
김여주
"Don't call me that so affectionately. It's not like I dislike it anymore, but we're not even close," the female lead said haughtily.
Upon hearing those words, Daniel was momentarily flustered, but soon smiled and said.
"Really? Why are you getting all shy and attaching so much meaning to what I said? Besides, I called you 'Little Kid,' a nickname I only use for my girlfriend?"
Flustered by Daniel's unexpected counterattack(?), the female lead's face turned slightly red.
김여주
"Ah... no!! I wasn't thinking anything!! Kid, you just called me that however you wanted and ran off!!"
강다니엘
"But I didn't say I didn't like it or tell you to stop. Doesn't that mean you liked it? And if you weren't thinking anything, why is your face turning red?"
He continued speaking.
강다니엘
"Oh, right, Yeoju. I ran into a guy I'm close with on my way to school. But I made a bet with Seongwoo hyung. That bet was......hehehe.... I'm so embarrassed......."
김여주
"..?"
강다니엘
"The bet is..... whether we start dating within a week or not.. haha. I bet on us dating~~"
김여주
"Huh??!! No......why on earth...!!"
강다니엘
From now on! I'm going to work hard to win you over!! Oh, and Seong-woo hyung is coming after school today, so you can't fall for it!!!
The female lead said playfully, "Hmm~~? If he's handsome, I should give in~~!!"
강다니엘
"Ah, you're already halfway to falling for me anyway! And I'm better looking!"
At this moment, the children start coming in.
김여주
"Quick! Sit down! Don't talk to me!"
Daniel sat down and said, "Why? You like me too, don't you?"
김여주
"Whoa~ What are you talking about? I don't have those feelings. I hate it when people just say we're dating!!"
강다니엘
"Hey, Kim Yeo-ju! Stop playing hard to get when you actually like me. If you don't want the kids spreading false rumors, let's just date! You said yesterday that you didn't want them to misunderstand."
Yeoju tried hard to look straight ahead, but she couldn't hide her flushed cheeks. The children poured in like a flood, and they began preparing for class.
During a boring class, towards the end of the third period, Daniel spoke to Yeoju. "Did you read that note...?"
김여주
"Ah! No... I forgot... Sorry... I'll read it now."
The female protagonist unfolded the note. The contents of the note were.....
To. Yeoju
Yeoju, it's Daniel. Please read this note to the end before I crumple it up and throw it away... I'm really sorry...
I was jealous that other guys were confessing to you and asking you to be their boyfriend, and because of the atmosphere... I'm truly, sincerely sorry for linking arms with you without permission and causing the others to misunderstand... Can't you let go of your feelings...?
From. Daniel
Daniel said, "You wrote this when you were in a bad mood, so it doesn't quite fit the current situation, does it...?"
김여주
I feel fine now. The sincerity shines through in the note.
강다니엘
"Really~~? I mean it too much that I like you so much. Heh♥"
작가
Daniel... ㅠㅠ
김여주
"What the hell are you talking about!!!"
Meanwhile, the boring class time gradually passed, and before they knew it, it was the last period. Daniel, having finished all the Korean questions, spoke to Yeoju.
강다니엘
"You went to the teachers' office yesterday... were you okay...?"
김여주
"Ah... that... was better than I thought. My score wasn't very good, so... I got scolded a bit, and I only left after promising to work harder and do my best next time.
강다니엘
"Because it's a bit~ bad~~? It must be really bad—I saw your score~~?"
김여주
"You...you saw my test scores?!!?"
Yeoju glared at Daniel. "Did you glance at me out of the corner of your eye?" she said coldly.
강다니엘
"Uh... yeah... sorry... I shouldn't have looked..."
"Is saying sorry enough? It's my secret... a secret I haven't told anyone..." The female lead felt very upset and ashamed.
강다니엘
"I'm really sorry... I won't tell anyone... I'll pretend I don't know... Please... When you cry and are upset, I get upset too... I'm really sorry... ㅠㅠ"
After saying that, Daniel patted the female lead's back.
Although Yeoju hated Daniel, she was also grateful to him on the other hand, so she only said, "Haa... Alright. But make sure you keep this a secret, and as soon as this fact gets out, our relationship is over."
Daniel answered that he understood and stroked the woman's head. When the woman said, "Don't... my head...", Daniel immediately took his hand away and said he understood.
And then, right then! The bell rang.
황민현
"Of course you guys are coming, right??"
김여주
"??What??Where??"
황민현
"Going to hang out at karaoke rooms and game rooms."
"Uh... um..." Yeoju and Daniel hesitated. Seeing this, Hwang Minhyun whispered something to Daniel. (Whispering)
As soon as he heard that, Daniel said he would go, and Yeoju couldn't help but be bewildered. What on earth did she say??
And Hwang Min-hyun started to persuade Yeoju as well.
황민현
"You don't have to pay, since I didn't know. It's going to be fun!! It's Friday night!! Your friends, Red Velvet, are going too. Let's go together!!"
"Okay... I understand... I'll go..." In the end, the female lead decided to go.
김여주
(Yeoju's thought) Well, I'm just hanging out with friends, what could possibly go wrong?
