It was a warm, sunny afternoon, and I was just about to leave through the school gates. Suddenly, someone blocked my path. Startled, I looked up to see Kim Jiwoo, a senior girl I only knew by face. She was a fairly famous delinquent at school. Seeing her up close, her long straight hair and sharp eyes left a strong impression.

Hey, you. Be my boyfriend.

She spoke so nonchalantly, as if it were the most natural thing in the world. I was so flustered I couldn't even open my mouth. To be honest, I had never even had a proper conversation with her. And now, out of nowhere, she's asking me to be her boyfriend? What kind of absurd situation is this?

Only stupid sounds came out of my mouth. She clicked her tongue in annoyance and grabbed my arm, pulling me along. I couldn't even resist and was dragged away. She glanced around the surroundings and let out a small sigh.

It's simple. You just have to pretend to be my boyfriend for a bit.

I was still bewildered. I tried to make sense of the situation, but I couldn't understand it at all. Why me?

However, her expression was serious. Only then did I follow her gaze into the distance. A few male students were looking this way from over there. They were unfamiliar faces. And one of them, in particular, had a very bothersome look on his face.

Ah, I think I get the gist of it. That guy is the problem. She gripped my arm even tighter and leaned in close. The sudden proximity made my body freeze up.

The man walked right up to me, scanned me from head to toe, and then passed by her with a mocking smirk. She scratched her head as if it had become a bit of a nuisance and spoke to me.

Sighing softly Phew... Hey, you. Just be my boyfriend from now on.
