How to live up to that villainess's name
03 I am calling [your name]


Why is that...?


I have a strange suspicion about Daniel, who is just sitting in the back seat and staring out the window.

Oh, no way


황여주
Are you pretending to do that?

Daniel looked at me with his lips moving slightly.



강다니엘
what's the matter?

Ah, that's it, Kang Daniel. You were hiding your hostility towards me and pretending to be cheerful on purpose, and now you're only realizing it now. Me too,


강다니엘
what's the matter?

You're no ordinary kid, are you? Kang Daniel. Let's try this.



황여주
It's nothing-

Kang Daniel gave him a small smile and then looked towards the window.

He's not just a dumb kid, he's surprisingly smart.

Well, I don't know who is who.

Since the novel begins during the last spring break of middle school, there is no specific mention of the heroine's middle school friends.

If you just do what you've been doing...

I don't care if they hate me or not.

The kids in middle school won't really have any influence on the development of the novel, except for Daniel.

While I was thinking for a while, someone approached me.



정은비
What are you doing,?

A pretty girl came up to me and spoke to me.


황여주
Jeong Eun-bi...

It says on the name tag.

I quickly rolled my eyes and found a purple name tag that said [Jeong Eun-bi].


정은비
what's the matter?


황여주
Nothing, no.

Who is this person? He wasn't mentioned at all in the novel. Was he just an extra?

I turned my head indifferently at the girl's gestures that seemed infinitely arrogant and stared out the window.


정은비
Is something wrong?

The child, who couldn't hide his embarrassment at my actions, sat down on the desk and asked how I was doing, perhaps because his pride was hurt.

I'm not interested in you. Hwang Yeo-ju seems to have opened her heart to anyone who showed her even a little interest. It's incredibly annoying how this girl whines and whines if you don't show her even a little bit of attention.

What really matters is Kang Daniel, but I don't have time to deal with a kid like this.


정은비
Why are you doing that?


황여주
I said it's nothing,


정은비
okay...,

I sorted out my thoughts, clicking my tongue at the child who turned around helplessly and headed back to his group.


황여주
Should I just be honest and make a suggestion?

Kang Daniel must have something he needs too. I just need to figure out his weakness.


황여주
The important thing is how to find out..

I think we need to think about whether there was a weakness in the novel.

By the way, where is Kang Daniel?

From what I heard yesterday, I think it was half the same.


황여주
Let me look it up.

He muttered something softly and went out to find Daniel.


황여주
Found it.



강다니엘
....

Finding a nice spot within the school and creating your own space was Daniel's hobby, if you will. I remember it playing a fairly important role in the novel.

I thought you only did it in high school, but you did it in middle school too. You really have a very emotional hobby.

Snickering, he looked at Daniel, but suddenly his expression became mysterious.


A bitter, life-weary smile that seems to be looking somewhere,

A scene from the novel flashed through his mind like a revolving lantern.

[The moment Nayeon found Daniel and waved at him, calling his name, Nayeon saw Daniel's expression in her eyes.

It was a bitter and mysterious smile, a smile worn down by life.

Suddenly, Nayeon remembered Daniel's real name, which he had told only to her.

She,



황여주
Ui-geon-ah...

The moment you call.



강다니엘
why,


His gaze shifted to her and their eyes met.
