episode 2

By the time Yuna reached the school gate, Lina was already there—waiting, as usual.

The moment Lina saw her face, her expression changed.

“Hey… what happened?” she asked, stepping closer. “Why do you look like that?”

Yuna didn’t answer immediately.

She simply held out her phone.

The cracked screen said everything.

Lina’s eyes widened. “What the—?! Who did this?!”

Yuna sighed softly and explained everything.

From the kitten…

to the misunderstanding…

to the boy who didn’t even apologize.

When she finished, Lina looked ready to explode.

“You just let him go?!” she snapped. “Yuna, if I see him, I swear—”

Yuna shook her head. “It’s fine.”

“No, it’s NOT fine,” Lina muttered. “Next time you see him, you tell me. I’ll deal with him myself.”

Despite everything, Yuna felt a small warmth in her chest.

They walked to class together and took their usual seats.

A few minutes later, the classroom door opened.

The teacher walked in.

And behind him—

Yuna froze.

Him.

The same boy.

The one who broke her phone.

Her grip on the desk tightened slightly.

“Meet your new classmate,” the teacher said. “Transfer student—Jinhyuk.”

Yuna leaned slightly toward Lina and whispered, “That’s him.”

Lina’s eyes lit up immediately as she looked at him, then back at Yuna—with a slow, mischievous smirk.

“Oh,” she whispered. “So fate really exists.”

Yuna frowned. “What are you talking about?”

“I think you two are meant to meet,” Lina teased. “Look at him—handsome, rich, and already causing problems in your life.”

Yuna rolled her eyes. “He’s just arrogant.”

Meanwhile, Jinhyuk stood at the front, completely unfazed by everyone staring at him.

“Introduce yourself,” the teacher said.

Jinhyuk glanced around the class, bored.

“I’m Jinhyuk,” he said flatly. “Don’t bother me. I’m not here to make friends.”

The class immediately filled with whispers.

“Wow…”

“He’s so cool…”

“Did you see his car?”

Lina leaned in again. “I heard his father owns one of the biggest companies in Seoul. He even donated money to this school.”

Yuna muttered under her breath, “So that’s why he thinks he can act like that.”

“Jinhyuk, take the seat behind Yuna,” the teacher instructed.

But Jinhyuk didn’t move.

Instead, his gaze shifted—directly to Yuna.

“I’ll sit there,” he said, pointing at the empty space beside her.

For a second, Yuna didn’t understand.

Then she did.

“No—” she started—

But before she could say anything, Lina stood up.

“Well, my job here is done,” Lina whispered with a grin. “Enjoy.”

“Lina!” Yuna hissed quietly. “Come back here!”

Too late.

Lina had already moved to the seat behind.

And Jinhyuk was now placing his bag beside Yuna.

He sat down casually, like he owned the place.

Yuna turned toward him, glaring.

He noticed.

Of course he did.

A slow smirk appeared on his lips.

“What?” he said lazily. “Why are you staring at me like that…”

He leaned slightly closer.

“…broken phone girl?”

Yuna blinked.

Broken phone girl?

Her fingers clenched under the desk.
