Jimin was the kind of girl everyone knew.
Not because she tried to be.
She just was.
Rich parents.
Perfect grades without studying.
Luxury cars waiting outside the school gates.
Teachers liked her.
Students feared her.
And somehow—
she always got exactly what she wanted.
Especially with that smug smile she wore whenever someone told her “no.”
Because everyone knew…
they’d end up saying yes.
—
Minjeong was invisible.
Not literally.
Just…
easy to overlook.
Always hiding behind oversized hoodies.
Always hugging books against her chest.
Always choosing the corner seat.
She wasn’t unpopular.
People simply forgot she was there.
Until they needed homework answers.
—
Jimin noticed her.
Weeks ago.
Minjeong never noticed back.
—
It happened on a Monday.
The hallway buzzed with gossip.
Everyone had heard the news.
Jimin and Jaehyun.
Over.
Done.
Finished.
No one knew why.
Jimin didn’t explain.
She never explained anything.
—
Minjeong was organizing her locker—
when someone slammed it shut.
Bang.
She flinched.
“…”
Slowly—
she turned around.
Jimin.
Standing way too close.
“…Jimin?”
Jimin looked her up and down.
“Hm.”
“You’ll work.”
Minjeong frowned.
“…What?”
Jimin leaned in.
Her expensive perfume instantly surrounded her.
“I need a fake girlfriend.”
Minjeong stared.
“…Excuse me?”
“You heard me.”
“I think you have the wrong person.”
“I don’t.”
Jimin folded her arms.
“My ex thinks I’ll come crawling back.”
A pause.
“I don’t lose.”
Minjeong blinked.
“…What does that have to do with me?”
Jimin smiled.
“You’re going to help me prove him wrong.”
“…No.”
Jimin raised an eyebrow.
“…No?”
“No.”
“…You rejected me.”
Minjeong looked confused.
“…Yes?”
Minjeong laughed.
Actually laughed.
“…Cute.”
She stepped aside.
“I’ll ask again tomorrow.”
“…I already said no.”
“We’ll see.”
Then—
she walked away.
—
By lunchtime—
half the school thought they were dating.
Minjeong didn’t even know how.
—
The next day—
Jimin was waiting outside Minjeong's classroom.
Chocolate milk in one hand.
Phone in the other.
She handed the drink to Minjeong.
“For you.”
“…Why?”
“My girlfriend shouldn’t skip breakfast.”
“I’m not your girlfriend.”
“Not yet.”
“…”
“…”
“…You’re unbelievable.”
“I’ve been told.”
—
From across the hallway—
someone watched everything.
Jaehyun.
His smile disappeared.
And Jimin noticed.
Exactly what she wanted.
She slipped her fingers into Minjeong’s hand.
Minjeong nearly dropped her drink.
“J-Jimim—”
“Smile, baby.”
Click.
Someone took a picture.
The rumors spread before the bell even rang.
And neither of them knew…
they had just started something neither could stop.
