Jiwon did not sleep well.
Actually, correction.
He barely slept at all.
Because his brain spent the entire night replaying Hyunwoo’s warning.
“He gets obsessive over things he likes.”
Nope.
Absolutely not.
Han Seojin was supposed to be the cold, emotionally constipated male lead who slowly fell in love after 100 chapters of tension and suffering.
Not… whatever THIS was.
Jiwon rolled across the massive bed dramatically.
“This plot is broken.”
Unfortunately, things only became worse the next morning.
Because the moment he entered the academy—
Everyone stared.
Literally everyone.
Students whispered openly as he walked through the hallway.
“That’s him…” “The one Han Seojin had lunch plans with.” “I heard Seojin rejected someone because of him.” “Did they secretly reconcile?”
Jiwon nearly fainted.
Reconcile?!
The original characters weren’t even enemies yet!
This school spread gossip faster than Wi-Fi.
He lowered his head and speed-walked toward class.
Avoid eye contact.
Avoid people.
Avoid—
“Taehyun.”
Jiwon froze.
That voice.
That deep, calm, terrifyingly attractive voice.
Slowly, he turned around.
Han Seojin stood behind him holding two drinks.
Students nearby immediately lost their minds silently.
Jiwon could practically FEEL the gossip multiplying.
Seojin handed him one of the drinks naturally.
“I bought too much.”
Jiwon stared suspiciously at the iced coffee.
“…There are only two.”
“Yes.”
“That means you intentionally bought mine.”
“Yes.”
Direct.
So painfully direct.
Jiwon accepted the drink awkwardly.
“…Thanks.”
For a brief second, Seojin looked oddly satisfied.
Why did he look happy over a coffee?!
Before Jiwon could process it, Seojin calmly asked:
“Did you sleep well?”
The nearby girls gasped softly.
One boy nearly walked into a wall.
Because this sounded less like classmates and more like a couple married for five years.
Jiwon whispered urgently:
“Why are you talking to me like this in public?!”
Seojin looked confused.
“…Normally?”
“THIS IS NOT NORMAL.”
“You’re loud in the mornings.”
“And you’re terrifying in the mornings!”
A tiny smile appeared on Seojin’s face again.
Jiwon almost cried.
STOP SMILING SO HANDSOMELY.
IT SHOULD BE ILLEGAL.
Lunch break arrived far too quickly.
Jiwon considered escaping through a window.
Unfortunately, Seojin appeared beside his desk exactly three seconds after class ended.
“Let’s go.”
“…You really remembered.”
“You sound disappointed.”
“I am.”
The classroom exploded into whispers again as Seojin casually pulled Jiwon away.
Some students even took out their phones secretly.
Wonderful.
By tomorrow, rumors would probably claim they were already engaged.
The academy cafeteria was crowded and noisy.
The moment Seojin entered, people moved aside instinctively.
His popularity was terrifying.
Jiwon nervously followed behind him while trying not to attract attention.
Impossible mission.
They finally sat near the window.
Jiwon immediately relaxed slightly.
Okay.
Maybe this wouldn’t be too bad.
Maybe they’d eat quietly and—
“Open your mouth.”
Jiwon froze.
“…What?”
Seojin held out a spoon calmly.
On the spoon was a small piece of omelet rice.
The entire cafeteria went silent.
Utterly silent.
A fork dropped somewhere dramatically.
Jiwon stared at the spoon in horror.
“…Why are you feeding me?”
“You said your hands hurt earlier.”
“I said my finger hurt after paper cuts!”
“So?”
“That doesn’t stop my entire arm from functioning!”
Seojin still didn’t lower the spoon.
Patiently waiting.
Like this was completely normal behavior.
Nearby students looked one second away from cardiac arrest.
Jiwon wanted death.
Immediate death.
“Hurry,” Seojin said quietly.
People were literally recording now.
Jiwon could SEE phones.
He panicked and quickly ate the bite just to end the situation.
The moment he did—
The cafeteria exploded into chaos.
“Oh my god.” “He actually accepted it.” “ARE THEY DATING?!” “Kang Taehyun let someone feed him??”
Jiwon covered his face in despair.
Finished.
His social life was finished.
Meanwhile, Seojin looked strangely calm.
Almost pleased.
Then—
Without warning—
Seojin picked up Jiwon’s untouched strawberry milk.
And drank from it.
Directly.
Jiwon’s soul ascended.
“That’s mine?!”
“Yes.”
“…You just drank from my straw!”
Another silence spread through the cafeteria.
Then screaming erupted from somewhere in the back.
Even Yerin, who had just entered, looked horrified.
Minhyuk nearly dropped his tray.
“WHAT IS HAPPENING?!”
Jiwon wanted the earth to swallow him whole.
Because in romance stories—
Sharing straws basically counted as indirect kissing.
And Han Seojin absolutely knew that.
Jiwon stared at him accusingly.
“…Did you do that on purpose?”
Seojin calmly took another sip.
Then finally answered:
“Yes.”
Jiwon.exe stopped working.
Completely.
Meanwhile, across the cafeteria—
Lee Hyunwoo watched everything silently before laughing under his breath.
“…Oh,” he murmured.
“He fell fast.”
