When the boys in the class asked if his sister was pretty, he grinned and said yes, looking quite sophisticated. Even to Jae-ho, who was generally indifferent to appearances, Yun Woojeong seemed quite handsome.
“Yeah, my sister’s really pretty.”
It was unusual to hear someone praise their sibling so openly, but he seemed sincere. Somehow, that guy ended up being his partner.
“Let’s get along. Pleased to meet you. You heard me earlier, right? I’m Yun Woojeong.”
With a friendly voice, clear eyes, a sharp nose, and jawline, he was even more handsome up close. Jae-ho briefly thought, if he looks like this, maybe his sister is pretty too.
“Yeah, nice to meet you. Let’s get along well.”
Jae-ho casually responded and buried his head again.
“But what’s your name? Sorry, I heard it earlier but forgot.”
Woojeong kept trying to start a conversation.
Jae-ho found his interest burdensome. He aimed to pass through school unnoticed and graduate quietly. After a falling out with a friend in middle school who spread rumors about him being an unwed mother’s child, he had faced near ostracization and didn’t want to repeat that experience.
He didn’t need friends. He didn’t want sympathy or ridicule for his poor background or hear insults about his mother.
Friends typically share even the deepest secrets, but Jae-ho no longer found that appealing.
With no response from Jae-ho, Woojeong playfully picked up the textbook in front of him and called out the name written on the cover.
“Hmm, Kim Seonghyeon. Nice name.”
Jae-ho didn’t respond.
“Seonghyeon, let’s have lunch together from today.”
Woojeong, unaffected by the cold response, moved closer.
In just a week, Woojeong became friends with the entire class and even a famous figure at a neighboring girls’ high school for his good looks. Eventually, he became Jae-ho’s closest friend.
Woojeong was good at everything: studies, sports, even having a nice and approachable personality.
“Hey, Woojeong, isn’t it cheating to be good at studying too?”
Jae-ho, who had always been confident in his academics, had to stay on his toes with Woojeong around.
During exams, they became fierce rivals, only to spend all day in gaming parlors after exams were over. Oh, and Woojeong was also good at gaming. At this point, he was truly an annoying guy.
“Hyunah, want to come to my house?”
Woojeong’s offer, spoken amidst the chatter and laughter of their classmates, marked the beginning of an unexpected friendship.
One day at the game arcade, Woojeong spoke up. After they became friends, Woojeong always called Seonghyeon by the last syllable of his name. When he called him ‘Hyuna’, Seonghyeon’s common name suddenly felt special, uplifting his mood.
“Why don’t you come over?”
“I’m tired of ramen. Let’s eat my mom’s cooking and hang out. I’ll introduce you to our Dajeong too.”
The incessant mention of ‘our Dajeong’, ‘our Dajeong’.
There was probably no one in their class who didn’t know Woojeong’s sister’s name was Dajeong. With his constant bragging, it was a name heard dozens of times a day. By now, it would feel odd not to hear Woojeong mention her.
That Dajeong, who was so pretty he joked about making her an idol.
Jae-ho laughed in response.
“Alright, let’s go. Let’s see this real-life Dajeong of yours.”
He went with light steps, but that night Jae-ho regretted visiting Woojeong’s home.
Yoon Dajeong. The short-haired girl whose eyelashes fluttered delicately. Pale, white wrists and a shy smile. A voice like musical notes.
He couldn’t sleep.
He found himself wanting to visit Woojeong’s house every day, using any excuse. Despite never properly meeting eyes, he fell desperately in love, as if she was a toxic mushroom, consuming him.
Jae-ho kept grabbing Dajeong’s hand and slipping it into his pocket as they walked. Dajeong, flustered by his carelessness, kept pulling it out. Despite being in a rural area with mostly elderly folks, Jae-ho’s lack of caution was alarming.
He seemed like a leopard exuding wild charm, but turned out to be more like a big Retriever. The gap was so startling that Dajeong felt slightly dizzy.
“Why do you keep pulling away?”
His tone was laced with an inexplicable coquettishness, somewhere between whining and joking. Her heart raced too fast, making her worry it might be broken. Jae-ho seemed like he appeared just to ruin her life.
“Be careful.”
“But you said it felt good, warm.”
“Still, here it’s too…”
As Dajeong stepped back, Jae-ho pulled her closer again, pretending to fail at controlling his strength and ending up embracing her. Her face pressed against his chest.
“Oops. My mistake.”
The acclaimed actor was now resorting to bad acting… His blatant excuse left Dajeong dumbfounded. As she lifted her head to retort, he slipped his hand into his pocket and strode confidently into the market.
“What should I cook for dinner?”
Dumbstruck, Dajeong could only follow him with a laugh.
Truly, a strange man.
“I don’t know.”
“Bracken? Wow, the bracken here looks good. How about bracken pasta?”
“Sounds good.”
“Excuse me, how much for the bracken?”
Jae-ho momentarily released Dajeong’s hand and crouched by a stall, meticulously examining the bracken and inquiring whether it was domestic or imported.
“Goodness, such a meticulous young man.”
As Dajeong gazed down at his broad shoulders, lost in thought, her phone rang.
It was Kyungjoon.
