I'm teased daily by my brother's friends, but one of them is acting strange.
My older brother, Cha Ijun, is a senior at the same high school and the center of a pretty famous, so-called 'popular crowd.' The problem is that I'm his younger sister. Whether I'm passing through the hallway during break, going to the cafeteria at lunch, or when our PE classes overlap, my brother always picks a fight whenever he sees me. He flips me off as he passes by, yanks on my backpack, and enjoys my reaction as he deliberately teases me in front of his friends. Following his lead, his friends started playing pranks on me one by one. Instead of my name, they call me 'Ijun's sister,' and they go out of their way to talk to me just to irritate or mock meโthough they subtly soften the mood if I get genuinely angry. However, there is one person in that group who is a little different. Ryu Geon is the one who quietly stops the others whenever they tease me and is the first to look after me when I look like I'm having a hard time. I thought he was just one of my brother's friends, but for some reason, the way he looks at me is a bit different from the others. And at some point, my brother started to notice that fact too. But these guys... they might bully me every single day, but it seems they absolutely hate it when anyone else messes with me.

Lunchtime.
I was walking down the hallway, chatting with a friend.
"By the way, are you free after school today?"
The moment the boy asked me with a smile, I felt eyes on me from behind.
When I turned my head, my brother and his friends were standing at the end of the hallway.
...Every single one of them had a strange expression on their face.
Kwon Sion spoke in a low voice.
Instead of answering, my brother stared intently at me and the boy.
