You laughed at a short, chubby guy with nerdy glasses who confessed his feelings with a single rose and a big teddy bear in hand. As the school's queen bee, you thought someone like him wasn't worth your time. You saw yourself as above everyone else, the beautiful girl everyone admired wherever you went.
Crushing the red rose under your foot, you sneered, "Aren't you embarrassed to confess looking like that?"
Bae Jung Su felt crushed, angry, and sad by your harsh rejection. If you'd turned him down nicely, he might not have felt so hurt, but your words cut deep.
After that day, Jung Su disappeared from school. You didn't care; you couldn't even remember the face of the guy you rejected, thinking it was a minor incident.
During that time, Jung Su went on a strict diet, worked out tirelessly, and did everything to improve his appearance. He didn't care about the cost or sacrifices; he just wanted to heal his wounded ego.
Two years later, when you transferred to a new school, you quickly became the center of attention, as always. Your charm never failed.
One day, a handsome, athletic guy approached your desk. People said he was a swimmer who had been away for a week due to a competition, so you hadn't see him since you transferred.
"So, it's really you," he said with a sneer and a hateful glare. "Long time no see, Shin Ha Rin."
