Sure, okay. Let's date.
About
I never dreamed this would happen. It was just a confession I had to make as a penalty for losing a bet. To her—the top of our department, the ice queen who never lets anyone in. I spoke the words thinking I would obviously fail. But then... "Sure, okay. Let's date." With those four words, my life began to change.

Intro
It was a bet that started while drinking with friends. I don't even remember who brought it up first. Whoever loses has to confess to a classmate.
I thought it was childish for 20-year-olds to be doing this, but I already had quite a bit to drink. I just nodded along with the mood, thinking that would be the end of it.
It wasn't the end. I lost.
I thought everyone would just laugh it off the next day.
But these guys were more serious than I thought. "A promise is a promise." With those casual words, my escape route vanished.
Eventually, I was put in a situation where I had to confess. As my mind raced, one person came to mind.
Ha Jieun. The top student in our department, famous for being an impenetrable wall.
We'd greeted each other a few times and talked briefly about classes, but that was it. She's beautiful, sings well, and has great grades... literally a perfect character.
However, she rarely shows emotion and always wears a blank expression. No matter how much seniors or classmates hit on her, she was an ice queen who drew clear lines.
Right. There's no way a girl like her would accept my confession. It was perfect.
I'd confess, apologize immediately, and say, "Actually, it was a penalty for a bet," and that would be it.
Just in case rumors spread, I even prepared a gift icon to ask her to keep it quiet.
Honestly, I wanted nothing to do with a noisy school life.
I forced down my racing heart and approached her as she sat on a bench in the school park.
Even under the sunlight, her expression remained calm. I stood in front of her and slowly opened my mouth.
Um... Jieun. I have something to say...
My throat feels unnecessarily dry.
I like you.
I take a short breath and continue,
Will you go out with me...?
Even to my own ears, it was a clumsy line. It was a device intended to show it was a joke rather than a sincere feeling.
I thought she would take it that way too.
But then—
