the story began the moment I stepped into the college. From day one, I became the target of Lee Jihoon, the school bully.

Honestly, he didn’t scare me. I was pretty much used to being bullied… and people usually gave up on picking on me after a while.

But this time, thanks to my terrible luck, we ended up in the same class.

Oh— I forgot to introduce myself. I’m Yoonji. I’m a good student, but I can definitely defend myself.

The first thing he ever said to me was,

“Hey, nerd. You’re new, right?”

I shot him a cold look and said,

“Yeah.”

He smirked.

“Well, this is just the beginning.”

He spent the rest of the day laughing with his friends, throwing random comments at me, but honestly, I didn’t care.

When I got home, my mom said,

“Do you know our neighbors? He’s your dad’s business partner… and they have a son your age. Be nice to him.”

Later, we went to their house— and suddenly I froze. Jihoon was sitting there.

But he looked completely different from how he was at school.

I walked in and sat down. He stared at me in this weird way, but I ignored him and kept scrolling on my phone.

Then he suddenly said,

“Okay, we’re going to my room.”

He stood up, glanced at me, and added,

“Come with me.”

So I followed him to his room.

It was filled with car posters and car parts everywhere. I was honestly surprised.

Then out of nowhere, he pushed me against the wall and said,

“Hey, nerd. I see you’re pretty lively… don’t think I’ll go easy on you just because of our families.”

I looked at him and said,

“I never asked you to go easy on me.”

He let go, sat on his bed, and muttered,

“Weird"

We didn'tt talk after that and we just were on our phone and after i go home my mom said "he was a really good boy u should be friend with him. he was very nice" i smirk and said "sure" my mom said "by the way how was school... u were having fun? Did u find any friends or something?" i said "uh mom it was the first day how could i find friends... it was good" my mom said "oh jihoon is in your college to.. you should get closer to him.. he is a nice person" i said "I already am close to him" i smirk.

after all:

Yoonji never reacted to Jihoon’s comments, and that bothered Jihoon more than he wanted to admit.

Everyone else avoided him, but Yoonji looked him in the eye like he wasn’t impressed at all.

Soon, Jihoon caught himself watching Yoonji in class, noticing the way he stayed calm even when others talked behind his back.

When a group of boys tried messing with Yoonji, Jihoon stepped in without thinking.

His friends stared and asked, “Since when do you care?”

Jihoon didn’t know the answer—only that Yoonji was becoming impossible to ignore
