Summary
As anticipated, Baek-ya’s instinct is correct; Lee Hyun is the subject of all the shameful stories and gossip at school. The emergence of Lee Hyun, who is everyone’s ideal type, suddenly worries Baek-ya as she spends her days consoling Ji-chan, a buddy from childhood and self-described “junk collector.” Ji-chan’s interest in Lee Hyun is strongly opposed by Baek-ya, who maintains that she shouldn’t engage with him. Ji-chan, however, requests that Baek-ya approach Lee Hyun and assist him. In the middle of this process, Lee Hyun makes an unexpected remark. “Aren’t you being too obvious about saying that you like me?” Baek-ya, unable to turn down her friend’s request with firmness, starts watching Lee Hyun in the hopes of discovering something that will make Ji-chan loathe her.
