The mask of friend
pro. Park Jimin
여주
It was three years ago, when I was 17.
여주
I was looking for books at the library for research for a group project.
전남친
Yein... me...
여주
Huh? What is this? Isn't that my boyfriend's voice?
예인
Huh? What's wrong?
전남친
Yein, I like you. Will you go out with me?
예인
But... you're dating the female lead...
전남친
It's fine. We can just do it secretly, right? It'll be thrilling too!
예인
But...
여주
W-what? You're lying, right?
자까넴
Startled, the female protagonist ends up leaving her presence unnoticed.
전남친
Huh? Who's there?
전남친
What? Isn't that Jeon Yeo-ju?
예인
Y-Yeoju, this isn't what I meant...
여주
Uh, I know that too.
자까넴
Yeoju looked at Yein with a forced, indifferent expression and spoke, and then
여주
Hey you bastard! How could you do this to me? Let's break up!
전남친
Yeah, Jeon Yeo-ju, I'm sick of you now, too!
여주
Wow..yeah, eat well and live well!
자까넴
With those words, the female protagonist ran outside.
여주
Sob... *sob* *sniff* You bastard... *sniff*... I'm going to curse you... *sniff*
자까넴
At that moment, a long shadow fell over the female protagonist who was crouching and crying.
???
Excuse me? Why are you crying in a place like this? Are you okay?
자까넴
The female lead lifted her head.
여주
*Sniff*... huh...?
지민
Looking at the uniform... Amie Girls' High School?
여주
yes..
지민
What grade are you in?
여주
I'm a first-year student..
지민
But what happened? Why were you crying on this crowded street?
지민
Shall we go into that cafe to talk for now?
여주
(Nods)
Yeoju City Branch
여주
This is a place I used to come to often with my ex-boyfriend...
여주
Still, I guess I grew attached to him while we were together. Coming here, the first thing that came to mind was memories of him.
Yeoju 1 year ago
여주
I came to this cafe with my ex-boyfriend to study for my upcoming exams.
여주
Hey, hey! Isn't the girl in the textbook here pretty?
전남친
Shut up and study. You're much prettier.
여주
Really? Hehe
여주
Back then, I really didn't know any better and just liked it.
여주
I had no idea that things would turn out like this in just a year.
Three years ago again
여주
*Sniff... sniff* Whoaah!...
자까넴
Overwhelmed by sudden emotion, Yeoju burst into tears again, and a flustered Jimin comforts her.
지민
Are you okay? Let's go in for now.
지민
I'll listen to everything you have to say.
여주
Sob sob... I had an ex-boyfriend, but he cheated on me...
자까넴
Yeoju explained the situation to Jimin while sobbing.
지민
I see... It's okay. That person is the one at fault.
자까넴
At the warm comfort she hadn't received in a long time, the female lead burst into tears she had been holding back.
여주
Waaah! Whoaah! Sob sob...
지민
What's wrong? Did I do something wrong?!
자까넴
Flustered, Jimin hurriedly tried to soothe Yeoju.
여주
Pfft!
지민
Huh? He smiled! Did I soothe him well? Heh.
지민
Come to think of it, we haven't even introduced ourselves yet! I'm Park Jimin.
여주
I am Jeon Yeo-ju..
지민
I'm a first-year high school student too, so can't we speak informally?
여주
(Nods)
지민
Let's be good friends!
지민
It's my number, so reach out if you're having a hard time!
여주
The friendship with Park Jimin that started like this has now continued for four years.
여주
Park Jjim!
지민
why?
여주
Which university did you get into?
지민
BTS vs. You?
여주
Oh, it's me!
지민
Oooooh!
지민
I have a friend!
여주
Oh yeah!
자까넴
The female lead ends up attending the same university as Jimin. What does the future hold for them?? Please look forward to it!
자까넴
Hello!
자까넴
I am a writer.
자까넴
Isn't this how you're supposed to write a prologue...? (scratching head)
자까넴
I skipped the prologue for my first work... haha
자까넴
