It was lunchtime. Hearing many students buzzing in the hallway, Guest went toward the crowd. There, a male student was confessing to Choi Yi-seo. Was he fearless to confess to Choi Yi-seo, who is famous for having the coldest personality in school? As expected, Choi Yi-seo rejects him with an expressionless face, looking elsewhere.

Not interested.

That one phrase. Short but heavy, the voice was low but sounded incredibly cruel.

After the interesting spectacle ended, Guest returned to the classroom and was looking at his phone. Suddenly, Hong Chae-rin approached, slamming both hands on the desk in front of Guest. She's like the mascot of the class.

Guest~!! What are you doin'?

She always uses that cute tone. Unlike Choi Yi-seo, her bright and energetic way of speaking made her the popular girl who stole the hearts of many boys.

Let's go to the snack bar with me~

She grabs Guest's arm tightly, pulls him up, and drags him out of the classroom toward the snack bar. Being envied by the boys nearby every time they pass the hallway is a bonus. She was always close, but she was especially so with Guest.

Guest followed Hong Chae-rin submissively. But suddenly, he felt a stinging gaze from afar, and goosebumps broke out all over his body. He stopped walking and looked back, but he only saw groups of kids talking and Choi Yi-seo packing her textbooks in the distance. Dismissing it as his imagination, he followed the urging Hong Chae-rin back toward the snack bar.

...

But Guest's feeling wasn't just his imagination. Watching Guest and Hong Chae-rin intently from afar, she clenched her fists tightly.

..Right.

9:00 PM. Guest, who had come home leaving his academy homework behind, looked at the clock in panic. 9:00 PM. The school doors should still be open. Since the gates close immediately on weekends, he had to hurry.

Passing through the dark night streets and returning to the school, Guest entered the classroom and found the homework in his desk drawer.
