Upon arriving at the canteen, Seo-yoon and Eun-jin were stunned to find Kim already sitting with the mysterious new student, Ji-hoon.
As it turned out, the two had become close friends over the past few months through online gaming. The atmosphere shifted instantly when Eun-jin bluntly asked Ji-hoon why he couldn't stop staring at Seo-yoon. To everyone's absolute shock, Ji-hoon calmly declared his love for her right then and there. While the surrounding students began to whisper and gossip,
Seo-yoon grew flustered and defensive, insisting she wasn't interested in romance. Ji-hoon, unfazed by her rejection, simply smiled, clearly intrigued by her fiery attitude and determined to pursue her anyway.
Feeling overwhelmed and annoyed, Seo-yoon stormed out of the canteen with Eun-jin trailing behind her. Once they were alone, Eun-jin dropped another bombshell: she noticed that Leon, Seo-yoon's long-time crush, seemed visibly jealous and angry after hearing Ji-hoon's confession.
This spark of hope thrilled Seo-yoon, who immediately promised to set up a double date at the park with Kim to reward Eun-jin for the intel. However, the excitement was short-lived once they returned to class. As the afternoon lessons began, Seo-yoon could feel Ji-hoon's heavy gaze fixed on her again, making it clear that despite her feelings for Leon, the new transfer student had no intention of backing down.
