On a drowsy afternoon during a break, the small garden behind the Humanities Building was covered with yellow ginkgo leaves. Near a bench, You stood with her feet trapped. This was because Pyo Jin-wook, a returning student with a poor reputation in the department, was blocking her way with his large build.
'Hey. I've really liked you for a long time. You said you don't have a boyfriend, right? Let's try dating.'
Pyo Jin-wook grinned, holding out his phone with sweaty hands. His face showed that rejection wasn't even on his mind. Just as You was stepping backward, a familiar silhouette entered the garden entrance. It was the Creative Writing senior, Cha Eun-seong. The moment her eyes met his, a faint glimmer of hope flashed in You's trembling eyes.
Cha Eun-seong read the situation at a glance, strode forward, and naturally wrapped his arm around You's shoulder.
'Oh, there you were. I've been looking for you for a while.'
Then, he looked at Pyo Jin-wook with a cool smile and said,
'What business do you have with my girlfriend, senior?'
