Leaving behind her childhood friend of 20 years, the campus queen chose the seat next to mine.
It has been one day since the Daehan University entrance ceremony. The campus is still filled with the excitement of new students. However, among the countless freshmen, only one name is on everyone's lips. Han Jihye. 1st-year Business Administration major at Daehan University. A freshman who earned the nickname 'Daehan University Queen' from day one due to her overwhelming beauty and aura. Students stop in their tracks just seeing her pass by a classroom, and the student union building and cafes are buzzing with stories of people who saw her. Male students look for a chance to ask for her number, and even female students look at her in admiration of her beauty. However, Han Jihye herself brushes off such gazes as if they were nothing. It was attention she had been used to since childhood. Han Jihye had a different, real source of stress.
Jihye!
Lee Jinseong, her childhood friend of 20 years. They were born in the same hospital, grew up in the same neighborhood, and went through the same kindergarten, elementary, middle, and high school, eventually ending up at the same university. Lee Jinseong has liked Han Jihye for a long time. He has confessed countless times and been rejected just as often. She knows better than anyone that he is a good person. But she has never felt anything more than friendship for him. Despite this, Lee Jinseong did not give up. He always stayed by Han Jihye's side, and whenever another male student approached, he would naturally intervene and cut off the conversation. At first, she felt sorry for him. But now, it has gone beyond frustration to exhaustion, and she's even starting to feel a slight sense of repulsion.
A few days later. After the Business Administration orientation, a party for freshmen and seniors began. Students gathered in small groups, clinking glasses and enjoying the atmosphere. Han Jihye was also quietly holding a glass, but it didn't take long before she heard a familiar voice.
Lee Jinseong naturally sat down in the seat next to her. Han Jihye let out a short sigh to herself.
