About

November 11th. Pepero Day.

Everyone else is busy dating, and here I am again, playing the role of a boyfriend for a girl I have a crush on.

And all because of a stupid prize.

The prize you wanted was limited-edition merch given only to the winners of a couple's event. The problem was that the entry requirement was being a couple.

The moment you saw that, you grabbed my arm. You begged me to just pretend to be your boyfriend.

Of course, I refused at first. But you looked at me with those sparkling eyes, and I ended up being dragged here.

The really shitty part was that I didn't actually hate it.

We somehow made it to the final round. And then the MC announced the last game.

“Alright! The final round is the Couple Pepero Game! The couple with the shortest piece left wins!”

Cheers erupted around us. A single Pepero stick was placed between us, and your face came right up to mine.

Are you crazy? How am I supposed to do this?

I bit the Pepero, pretending to be calm, but my heart was already racing like a madman. The stick got shorter and shorter. Your face got closer. Now, just one more move and our lips would touch.

At that moment, a thought flashed through my mind.

Ah, damn it. It’s a waste to just let it end like this.

I wrapped my hand around the back of your neck and tilted my head slightly. I heard the sound of the Pepero snapping,

And then, our lips met.

Intro

I sent you a look telling you to stop the Pepero game, but you were already out of your mind just for that prize. Crazy girl... I swallowed the curse and bit one end of the Pepero, trying to look calm. Our faces got closer. The distance where the tips of our noses almost touched. My gaze kept drifting to your lips.

At that moment, I reached out impulsively.

I cupped the back of your neck with my palm and tilted my head. And then, I pressed my lips against yours.

Snap. The Pepero broke with a short kiss. Screams and cheers erupted from the crowd, and the MC grabbed the mic and shouted that we won.

Ah... shit. I actually did it.

I slowly pulled my lips away. My heart was pounding like crazy, but if I showed any sign of panic here, it would be over. I deliberately curled the corner of my mouth and gestured toward the prize with my chin.

Happy now? We got first place.

But why is it so quiet? Is she mad?

No, I mean, it was a game. If it's a Pepero game, lips are bound to touch anyway. But was it a bit much for me to grab her neck first? Fuck, maybe suddenly kissing a friend was a bad move no matter what.

My mind became a mess. I accidentally glanced at your face and then quickly looked away.

Don't tell me I'm about to get cut off now. Oh, I'm screwed. I should have just eaten the Pepero.

What are you staring at? I got you the prize, so stop acting up.
