This episode is also from the female protagonist's point of view.
This episode has also been revised. (2018.01.19)
That's how I realized that the feeling I had for Jeon Jungkook at that time was love, and I fell in love with him.
After that, I only had eyes for Jeon Jungkook, and I started to like him more.
But, no one knows that I like Jeon Jungkook. I say that I'm shy when it comes to emotions like love, so I don't like anyone.
Maybe Jeon Jungkook doesn't even know who I am?
I'm so popular that all the girls dash towards me... so you probably don't know my name or face?
But I'll still love you!
If we do that, things will work out somehow...
Today is the first day of second grade. In short, classes are decided today.
I was so excited because I wanted to be in the same class as Jeon Jungkook.
김예림
Park~Yeo~ju~~!!
Huh? It's Yerim..
박여주
Kim Ye-rim, why are you so late?
김예림
No.. I woke up late today.. hehe
박여주
Still, you came just in time for me to go to school.
김예림
Oh. I ran all the way here.
박여주
Well done lol
김예림
Hey, heroine, are you getting your class assignments today? Right?
박여주
Oh. I'm really looking forward to it..
김예림
I admit~ I wish I could be in the same class as you this time tooㅜㅠ
박여주
That's rightㅠㅠ I really hope we're in the same class..
김예림
But, heroine, what time is it now?
박여주
8:10.
김예림
What time do you have to go to school?
박여주
8:15?
김예림
What should I do now?
박여주
Jump!!
We ran and arrived on time and looked at the class schedule.
김예림
Oh my!!
박여주
Why are you yelling, Kim Ye-rul? Huh??
김예림
Hey! We're in the same class!!
박여주
Kaaaah!
We were in the same class again this year, and we were so happy we hugged and screamed. Students passing by stared at us, but we didn't care.
박여주
By the way, Yerim, what class are we in?
김예림
Um... Class 1? It's Class 1.
박여주
Let's hurry up and go, we'll be late
김예림
Okay, let's go.
We headed to Class 2-1 like that, and I couldn't help but be surprised as soon as I entered.
박여주
!!
김예림
Huh? Jeon Jungkook is in our class too. Right, Yeoju?
박여주
Huh? Huh.. I see haha
김예림
Where should we sit?
박여주
Um...anywhere?
김예림
Then I choose!
박여주
okay!!
You know why I was surprised? Because Jeon Jungkook was in our class.
선생님
Okay, quiet~
선생님
I'm currently teaching Class 1, Grade 2. I'm asking for your help, and I'm wondering if we should swap places. Hmm... how should I do it?
As the new semester began and the noise grew louder, our homeroom teacher came in. Then, suddenly, he suggested we switch seats.
선생님
Let's see how popular the girls are in our class. The girls sit down, and the boys go and sit where they want to sit.
박여주
Sigh... Yerim... Isn't no one sitting next to me? ㅠㅜ
김예림
No. If no one sits next to you, I'll sit next to you.
박여주
What is that lol
선생님
Okay, boys come forward and girls sit where you want.
박여주
Kim Ye-rim! Where are you going to sit?
김예림
Um... you in front and behind?
박여주
Oh, good.
박여주
I want a window seat! I want to sit in the very back.
김예림
Then I'm in front of it!
박여주
Okay okay
선생님
Are we all seated now? Then, boys, sit wherever you want.
I lay face down with my eyes closed, not knowing who would sit next to me. Honestly, I was a little scared... I thought I'd be the only one left without anyone.
But then I felt like someone was sitting next to me. I heard a noise... I was just going to lie down until class started?
(Shake shake)
김예림
Hey! Park Yeo-ju!!
But Yerim called me and shook me, so I had no choice but to get up.
박여주
Why.. Kim Ye-rim..
박여주
!!
전정국
Uh... hello?
박여주
Uh..uh? Oh ah..hello
While I was up, I looked to the side, curious to see who the boy sitting next to me was. It was none other than... Jeon Jungkook... My favorite Jeon Jungkook...
I greeted Jeon Jungkook, who came to greet me, and I was so nervous that I just lay down.
전정국
(Knock knock) Hey... Yeoju?
I tried to get up when Jungkook called me, but I couldn't bear to show my blushing face, so I answered while lying down.
박여주
Huh..huh?
전정국
Am I uncomfortable?
박여주
(jumps) Ah..no!!
전정국
Ahaha.. I see. That's good.
I stood up and shouted loudly to say no, without even realizing it. That got the attention of the classmates, and even Jungkook's surprised expression.
박여주
Oh.. sorry..
I lay down again, and before class started, my face seemed to have returned to its original color. I listened to the class until the fourth period and then went to have lunch with Yerim.
(noisy)
박여주
Ahhh~ I'm hungry..
김예림
I admit it...
박여주
As expected, our school cafeteria doesn't let you diet!
김예림
Yeah, it's so delicious
박여주
Yerim, what should I do with the food?
김예림
You have to spread it a lot
박여주
What about meat?
김예림
Need to spread it more
박여주
As expected lol
김예림
lol
Yerim and I were standing in line to get our meals, chatting about this and that, when I felt like someone was watching us, so I told Yerim.
박여주
Yerim, it seems like someone is watching us...
김예림
What are you talking about.. Who is watching this? lol
박여주
I see haha I guess so haha
While we were talking like that, we received our meal and sat down in an empty seat.
박여주
Wow, really.. I really need to savor the taste slowly~!!
김예림
Haha, okay. Then I'll match my speed to yours! Haha
박여주
Yeah! Let's eat!
김예림
Kkou~
We were savoring the taste of our meal when a man's low-pitched voice came from beside us, startling us and making us open our eyes wide and look to the side.
전정국
Excuse me... If there are no seats next to you, can we sit down?
박여주
Uh..? Not really.. but sit down..!
전정국
Thank you, my lady.
민윤기
thanks.
박여주
Uh...uh...
The owner of that voice was Jeon Jungkook. He asked if he could sit next to me with a friend, and I said it was fine.
So I ate my meal in a nervous state. It was much faster than planned.
김예림
Why are you eating so fast, Park Yeo-ju?
박여주
Uh..huh?
김예림
Eat slowly!
박여주
Ah.. I see..
I was eating quickly when Yerim scolded me, and I came to my senses and started eating slowly. But maybe because Jeongguk was next to me, I felt like the students were staring at us, so I just left my food behind. The stares were too much of a burden...
김예림
Hey Park Yeo-ju! Why aren't you eating it all!!
박여주
Ah.. I just don't really want to eat it..
김예림
Is it because of the kids' gaze towards Jeon Jungkook?
박여주
No haha it's just not that great haha
I just told Yerim that I didn't like it, but the truth is that all the gazes that fell on Jungkook were the gazes of people who liked Jungkook... so I felt like I shouldn't like Jungkook... I think that's why I did that.
I was lying there alone in an empty classroom during lunchtime. Where did Yerim go? She must have gone to the cafeteria because she was hungry.
박여주
Sigh... Why am I like this...
I was lying down and sighing when I heard someone talking, so I just pretended to be asleep and lay down.
??
Are you sleeping..?
??
I'm going to sleep...
The kid who came in left something near my desk. I assumed it was food for Jeon Jungkook.
But when I woke up, there was chocolate milk and chocolate bread on my desk. And a bright yellow post-it note.
