Han Nari was early to school. She liked it that way—peaceful, quiet, predictable.
But peace shattered the moment she walked into class.
Whispers.
Eyes.
Grins.
"Is it true?"
"Her and Lee Joon?"
"Sworn enemies to secret lovers?"
Nari froze mid-step.
"Excuse me?" she snapped, turning to face a group of gossiping girls.
They giggled.
"She spent detention with him yesterday," one whispered not-so-quietly. "You don't just sit next to Lee Joon and leave normal."
Nari's jaw clenched. "You guys should write dramas."
Just then—he walked in.
Lee Joon. Backpack slung carelessly. Uniform tie loose. Looking like the very rumor they were all talking about.
He glanced at Nari… and smirked.
"Morning, sweetheart."
The class exploded.
"WHAT?!" Nari practically screamed.
"Relax," he said, dropping into his chair beside her. "You wanted them to stop talking, right? Let's give them something real to gossip about."
She glared at him. "You're unbelievable."
"Not true. I'm very believable. Especially when I say you look cute when you're angry."
She turned away, cheeks hot—and furious with herself for blushing.
Later That Day – Homeroom Announcement
The teacher cleared her throat.
"Attention everyone. The spring school trip will be in Jeju Island this year."
Gasps of excitement filled the room.
The teacher smiled. "Roommates will be announced next week."
Nari blinked.
Jeju Island?
Roommates?
Please don't let it be—
Her eyes met Joon's. He winked.
