The next morning—
Yuna walked into school—
But her mind?
Completely somewhere else.
---
Kyungmin likes Haru…
---
She stopped mid-step.
No… no… I still can't believe it.
---
Her hand slowly went to her forehead.
And the funniest part—
Haru is actually a GIRL.
---
Yuna bit her lip—
Trying not to laugh in the middle of the corridor.
---
If Kyungmin finds out the truth…
Will he faint? Cry? Or just disappear from school?
---
"…Yuna?"
---
She snapped out of her thoughts.
Minji stood in front of her—
Looking confused.
"Why are you smiling like that so early in the morning?"
---
Yuna quickly straightened.
"I-I'm not smiling."
---
Minji narrowed her eyes.
"…You are."
---
Before Yuna could say anything—
A loud noise echoed through the hallway.
---
"MOVE—MOVE—HARUU IS COMING!!"
---
A group of girls rushed past them—
Almost dragging Minji along.
---
And there he was—
Haru.
Walking like a prince—
Calm, charming—
Smiling slightly at everyone.
---
Yuna looked at Haru—
Then slowly turned her gaze to the side—
Where Kyungmin was standing.
---
And just like yesterday—
Kyungmin froze the moment he saw Haru.
---
His face?
Instantly red.
---
"…Good morning," Haru said smoothly.
---
Kyungmin looked like his soul left his body.
"G-good… morning…"
---
Yuna pressed her lips together again.
I CAN'T DO THIS.
---
Minji looked between them.
"…Why is he acting like that?"
---
Yuna quickly grabbed Minji's arm.
"Nothing."
---
But inside—
Her thoughts were going wild.
---
This is getting dangerous.
If this continues—
Kyungmin is seriously going to confess one day…
---
And that's when—
A terrifying thought hit her.
---
What if… he confesses… thinking Haru is a boy?
---
Yuna's eyes widened.
---
NO.
THAT WILL BE A DISASTER.
---
She immediately turned toward Haru—
Who was now laughing with a group of girls.
---
I need to stop this.
Before everything explodes.
---
Meanwhile—
Jihun entered the corridor.
His eyes instinctively went to Yuna.
---
But before he could walk toward her—
He noticed something.
---
Yuna…
Looking at Haru.
Very seriously.
---
Jihun's expression changed slightly.
---
"…What is she planning now?"
---
And somewhere nearby—
Kyungmin was still standing frozen—
Heart racing—
Eyes stuck on Haru.
---
Completely unaware—
That he was walking straight into chaos.
---
And Yuna?
Already thinking of a plan—
To either save him…
Or make things even worse.
---
This secret…
Is going to cause a storm.
Without wasting another second—
Yuna grabbed Haru's wrist.
"Come with me."
---
Harin blinked.
"…Huh?"
But before she could react—
Yuna was already dragging her away—
Through the corridor—
Past the stairs—
Straight to the back of the school.
---
The place was quiet.
Empty.
---
Yuna finally stopped.
Turning toward Harin.
Her expression—
Serious.
---
Harin tilted her head.
"…What happened suddenly?"
---
Yuna crossed her arms.
Her voice low—
But firm.
"…How long are you going to keep acting like a boy?"
---
Silence.
---
Harin blinked once.
Then smiled casually.
"…What do you mean?"
---
Yuna stepped closer.
"Don't play dumb."
A pause.
"You should end this drama now."
---
Harin looked at her for a second—
Then suddenly—
She laughed.
Light.
Carefree.
---
"Come on."
"It's fun."
---
Yuna stared at her.
"…Fun?"
---
Harin nodded happily.
"Yeah."
"Do you even know how interesting this is?"
"I get treated like a prince…"
"Girls adore me…"
She grinned.
"And I can mess with people freely."
---
Yuna's expression didn't change.
"…This isn't a game anymore."
---
Harin paused.
Just for a second.
---
Yuna continued—
Lowering her voice.
"…Kyungmin likes you."
---
Silence.
---
Harin froze.
"…What?"
---
Yuna sighed.
"Jihun told me yesterday."
"And the way Kyungmin acts around you—"
"It's obvious."
---
Harin blinked.
Processing.
Then—
"…Wait."
"…He likes me?"
---
Yuna nodded.
"Yes."
A pause.
"And he thinks you're a boy."
---
Silence.
Long silence.
---
Harin slowly turned away.
Running a hand through her hair.
"…Oh."
---
For the first time—
She didn't look playful.
---
Yuna stepped closer.
"…If this continues—"
"He might confess."
---
Harin's eyes widened slightly.
"…No way."
---
Yuna nodded.
"…Way."
---
Another pause.
---
Harin let out a small breath.
"…That's… complicated."
---
Yuna looked at her seriously.
"So?"
"What are you going to do?"
---
Harin stayed silent.
Thinking.
---
Then slowly—
A small smile returned to her lips.
---
"…Let's see."
---
Yuna frowned.
"…Harin."
---
Harin turned—
Grinning mischievously again.
"What?"
"Maybe it'll be interesting."
---
Yuna stared at her—
Completely done.
"…You're unbelievable."
---
But deep inside—
She knew one thing.
---
This wasn't going to stay "fun" for long.
---
Because now—
It wasn't just a disguise anymore.
It was someone's feelings.
---
And if things went wrong—
Someone was definitely going to get hurt.
Just as Yuna was about to say something again—
"…achoo!"
---
Both Yuna and Harin froze.
---
Yuna slowly turned her head—
Toward the bushes.
Her eyes narrowed.
"…Who's there?"
---
Silence.
---
Then—
Leaves moved slightly.
---
And from behind the bushes—
Two figures stood up awkwardly.
---
Minji.
And Jihun.
---
Yuna's eyes widened.
"…What are you two doing here?"
---
Minji looked panicked.
"I-I wasn't spying!"
"I just followed you because you suddenly dragged Haru away—"
---
Then she stopped.
Her brain catching up.
---
"…Wait."
She slowly turned to Harin.
"…What did you just say?"
---
Beside her—
Jihun stood completely still.
Frozen.
---
His eyes—
Locked on Harin.
---
"…Harin?" he repeated slowly.
---
Silence fell heavily.
---
Yuna's heart dropped.
No…
---
Minji blinked again.
"…Harin?"
"…As in… not Haru?"
---
Harin sighed quietly.
"…Well."
---
Jihun took a step forward.
Still stunned.
"…You're not a boy?"
---
A pause.
---
Harin scratched her cheek lightly.
"…Surprise?"
---
Minji's jaw dropped.
"WHAT?!"
---
Jihun ran a hand through his hair—
Trying to process everything.
"…So all this time…"
"You were pretending to be a guy?"
---
Harin smiled awkwardly.
"…Yeah."
---
Silence.
---
Yuna closed her eyes for a second.
This is bad.
---
Minji suddenly grabbed her head.
"WAIT—WAIT—WAIT—"
"So Haru is actually Harin—"
"And she's a girl—"
"And all the girls in school—"
She gasped dramatically.
"…ARE SIMPING OVER A GIRL?!"
---
Harin laughed.
"…Looks like it."
---
Jihun wasn't laughing.
At all.
---
He was still staring at Harin—
Like his entire understanding of reality just broke.
---
"…Then…"
He spoke slowly.
"…Kyungmin…"
---
Yuna stiffened.
---
Minji blinked.
"…What about him?"
---
Jihun looked at Yuna.
Then at Harin.
Then back again.
---
"…He likes her."
---
Silence.
---
Minji's eyes widened.
"…WAIT—WHAT?!"
---
Yuna covered her face.
"…This is exactly what I was trying to avoid."
---
Harin blinked.
Then suddenly—
Started laughing.
---
"…This just got even more interesting."
---
Yuna looked at her—
In disbelief.
"…You're enjoying this?!"
---
Harin grinned.
"Of course."
---
But Jihun?
He wasn't smiling.
---
He looked serious now.
Very serious.
---
"…This is not a joke anymore."
---
Because now—
It wasn't just confusion.
---
It was a secret—
That had just fallen into the wrong hands.
---
And the moment Kyungmin finds out—
Everything… will change.
Silence still lingered in the air—
Heavy and awkward—
After the truth was revealed.
---
Minji was still in shock.
Yuna was stressed.
Harin… was enjoying everything.
---
And Jihun—
Was thinking.
---
Then suddenly—
He spoke.
Calmly.
"…I'm glad."
---
Everyone looked at him.
---
Yuna frowned.
"…What?"
---
Jihun looked at Harin.
"…I'm glad Haru is actually a girl."
A pause.
"…Harin."
---
Yuna blinked.
"…Why?"
---
Jihun shrugged slightly.
Like it was obvious.
"…Because now it's clear."
---
He glanced to the side—
Thinking of someone.
"…Kyungmin isn't gay."
---
Silence.
---
Yuna stared at him.
"…That's your concern right now?"
---
Minji nodded rapidly.
"EXACTLY!"
"Out of everything, THAT'S what you're focusing on?!"
---
Jihun looked at them calmly.
"…Yes."
---
Harin burst out laughing.
"…Wow."
"So you were worried about your friend's love life?"
---
Jihun didn't deny it.
"…More like his future mental stability."
---
Yuna sighed.
"…You're unbelievable."
---
But then—
Her expression turned serious again.
"…But this is still a problem."
---
She looked at Harin.
"…He doesn't know."
---
Harin crossed her arms.
"…Not my fault."
---
Yuna narrowed her eyes.
"It will become your problem."
"If he confesses—"
---
Minji gasped.
"OH MY GOD WHAT IF HE CONFESSES THINKING YOU'RE A BOY—"
---
Harin laughed again.
"…That would be legendary."
---
Yuna facepalmed.
"…You're impossible."
---
Jihun sighed quietly.
"…We need to tell him."
---
Harin immediately shook her head.
"Nope."
---
Yuna looked at her.
"…Harin."
---
Harin smiled mischievously.
"Let's just wait a little."
---
Yuna stared at her—
Already knowing—
This was going to turn into a disaster.
---
And somewhere in school—
Completely unaware—
Choi Kyungmin was walking around—
Thinking about Haru.
Blushing.
Smiling.
---
While his entire reality—
Was seconds away from collapsing.
---
And the worst part?
Everyone else—
Now knew the truth.
