Lee Jae-hyun is sweaty, in his rugby jacket and headphones, pushing a cart recklessly through the frozen food aisle. He’s texting Do-yun with one hand, eating a popsicle with the other. Zero awareness of his surroundings.
Suddenly—
CRASH.
He slams into someone.
The cart rattles. The popsicle hits the floor in slow motion.
Jae-hyun looks up — already about to say something stupid — until he locks eyes with a sharp-suited boy around his age. Cold eyes. Hair slicked back. Aura of death and elegance.
Lee Jae-hyun
Oh.
Lee Jae-hyun
You’re hot. Are you real?
The boy adjusts his sleeve wordlessly and gives Jae-hyun a look that could freeze time. Then he walks off like nothing happened.
Lee Jae-hyun
(yelling after him)
Lee Jae-hyun
I’m Jae-hyun, by the way! You gonna marry me or sue me?!
Yeonhwa High School – The Next Morning
Morning announcements. Han Areum and Jung Hae-in are standing side by side at the podium. Tension. They’re wearing matching uniforms, but Areum is beaming while Hae-in looks like she hasn’t slept.
Han Areum
Today’s theme is unity and teamwork!
Han Areum
(steals a look at Hae-in)
Han Areum
…especially between council members
Jung Hae-in
Please stop flirting on the intercom.
Areum smirks. The school buzzes with whispers.
Meanwhile, Jae-hyun bursts into class late — and freezes.
