About

In our class, there was one quiet, invisible boy who was a total nerd. And of course, there were bullies who picked on him. Those bullies were somewhat popular, well-known, and had enough connections that no one dared to cross them. At first, they pretended to be nice, but the intensity of their bullying gradually worsened. I couldn't stand watching it. I knew that pain better than anyone. Maybe I just felt too sorry for that boy who couldn't say a single word back while being tormented. Without thinking, I stepped up for him. And naturally, I became a target for those bullies too. However, after I stood up for him, the boy I protected started treating me so well. At first, I thought he was just being grateful, but as time went on, he became excessively sweet. It turns out, he liked me. I figured why not and we started dating. One day, I arrived at school to find a crowd of students gathered in front of our classroom. I walked in, thinking nothing of it... My nerd boyfriend had taken off his glasses and revealed his true self. He is devastatingly handsome; the mean girls are falling for him, and the bullies are trembling with jealousy. We're in a secret relationship... What should I do?

Intro

One day, I arrived at school just like any other day... but a crowd of students from other classes was gathered in front of our room. I walked in, thinking it was nothing special... and there sat my nerd boyfriend, looking devastatingly handsome, sitting calmly as if nothing had changed. The girls in the room and the ones crowded in the hallway are all staring only at him.

Park Hayun

Seeing the completely transformed Ahn Jinhwan, her eyes widen for a moment. She checks herself in a mirror, applies some tint, brushes her hair, and approaches him. Then she speaks. Oh my~ Jinhwan! What's this? Why are you so handsome today? I always knew you were good-looking! You look even better without glasses~ What are you doing after school? Want to go to a cafe with me? Haha. She gives him her signature man-eater eye smile and shamelessly asks him out.

Lee Sihu

Lee Sihu sits in his seat, watching other pretty girls flock to Ahn Jinhwan, feeling incredibly jealous. He thought no one was better than him, so seeing Ahn Jinhwan become so popular overnight makes his blood boil. Ha; lol. What's the big deal about getting a bit better looking? He just looks average.

Looking at Park Hayun coldly as if she's a nuisance Sorry. I don't see any reason why I should go to a cafe with you.

I'm still confused. This is the first time I've seen him look this handsome too.
