Episode 1

Welcome to the starting point of the novel “Only Two”!

“…What?”

What two? What starting point?

I was half-eating, half-ignoring the meal set on the dining table when I blinked blankly. The mysterious rectangular thing that suddenly appeared to obstruct my vision was completely unfamiliar.

I slowly put down my spoon and reached toward that translucent window. There was nothing particularly tangible or touchable about it.

‘A hallucination?’

Or maybe a ghost? Or perhaps a status window like those that only appeared in fantasy novels?

While I was mulling this over with a sour expression, the window in front of me flickered briefly before disappearing. Just as I was thinking it might have truly been a momentary hallucination, the blue-tinted window appeared again.

Would you like to check the work information for the novel “Only Two”?

It apparently wasn’t some kind of temporary hallucination after all. Then had I finally gone insane?

I swallowed a sigh through my pursed lips.

‘The best strategy is to ignore this kind of thing.’

Having witnessed ghost-like things once or twice as a child, I knew well. Originally, unidentifiable formless things shouldn’t be given even the slightest reaction, whether of surprise or fear.

I deliberately turned my head naturally as if looking for a water cup, but the window that had disappeared reappeared right in front of my eyes.

Checking work information for the novel “Only Two”.

My resolve to maintain indifference crumbled in less than 10 seconds.

‘If you’re going to act so arbitrarily, why did you ask me a question earlier?’

I was frowning slightly when, despite my negative reaction, the content of the text that unfolded made me gape in bewilderment.

“…Lee Chung-hye? The Lee Chung-hye I know?”

Not only Lee Chung-hye, but Seo Jung-hoo and Kwon Tae-min were also names I knew well. I couldn’t help but know them even if I wanted to. Those three names were inevitably mentioned whenever I, Yu Baek-hwa, was brought up at school.

Haesanko High School’s famous bitter rivals. Mortal enemies who would growl and try to fight whenever they encountered each other.

Some of the female students would whisper while looking at us, using words like “hate-love” or whatever. I didn’t know what those words meant though.

‘So… what is this?’

What’s with the title, and what about those keywords? What am I supposed to do about this?

‘…BL? Beautiful Life? Best Life?’

It was a parade of completely incomprehensible scenes. After rolling my eyes back and forth several times, I eventually gave up trying to accept the situation that had suddenly befallen me and chose to avoid it instead.

As I abruptly stood up, the chair scraped against the floor with a harsh noise. Breaking free from the chair that had been pushed back, I began moving the half-finished rice bowl and side dishes while ignoring the blue-tinted window.

‘I must be seeing things.’

I had certainly been tired lately with studying and exercising, among other things. My body, unable to bear the accumulated fatigue, seemed to be sending signals asking me to please rest.

Then I should rest.

‘Let me quickly clean up, wash, and sleep.’

I moved busily with that thought. The translucent window floating and swaying in the air had long since left my attention.

* * *

“Ugh.”

As I turned the corner in the hallway, I reflexively stopped and let out a stifled breath. One of the three faces I least wanted to encounter at school was confidently walking toward me from the other end of the hallway.

I considered turning around and retracing my steps, but unfortunately, I had already made eye contact with the other party. Pretending not to notice and turning around now would be unnatural and would surely become the starting point of a fight.

Even though I had a famously hostile relationship with them, that didn’t mean I wanted to waste my energy fighting every single day. I was the type to avoid shit not because I was scared of it, but because it was dirty, so I didn’t want to deliberately create sparks of conflict.

Eventually, I swallowed my complaints silently and forced my feet, which were dragging on the floor, to move.

Let’s just pass by. Without any words, without any contact, let’s just pass by.

However, contrary to the wish I had repeated dozens of times in my mind, I couldn’t simply pass by his side peacefully.

My feet got tangled at that very moment, and my body happened to lean in that direction.

Thud.

When I came to my senses, I had already bumped my head against his flat chest.

I was startled and pulled my body back, but in my haste, I lost my balance again. This time, both my wrists were grabbed. Being supported in what felt like restraints, I could only move my mouth wordlessly without being able to let out a single sigh of confusion.

I raised my roughly shaking vision upward. Seo Jung-hoo, who had been waiting to make eye contact, curved the corners of his eyes with a grin.

“Hello, Yu Baek-hwa.”

Fucking hell.

I can’t say hello. I said I can’t say hello!

What kind of embarrassment was this? Between people who were practically bitter enemies, I had stupidly misstepped, barely managed to support myself using the other person’s upper body, and as if that wasn’t enough, I had to receive help again.

‘How embarrassing!’

I could feel hot heat rising to my face. If there had been a mirror right in front of me, I would have had to face my appearance, redder than a tomato.

Barely holding back the curses that were about to burst from my mouth, I gnawed fiercely on my lower lip.

‘What should I do? Should I just close my eyes tight and pretend not to know while running away?’

Perhaps that would be the most ideal solution. This was an accident arising from mutual mistakes, not anyone’s fault, so even if I pretended not to know and ran away…

“Why are you rolling your eyes like that? Just like a little rat that’s already scared and only thinking of running away.”

What?

‘Who’s a little rat? Who’s scared of whom?’

I glared at Seo Jung-hoo with my eyes sharply raised over my already distorted expression. At the sight of confusion and shame disappearing without a trace and quickly revealing irritated claws, Seo Jung-hoo’s eyes curved thinly.

“So, your body? Are you okay?”

Bullshit. Why are you pretending to worry so pathetically?

‘…Still, I can’t just pick a fight recklessly.’

In a situation where an unintended ‘accident’ had occurred, there wasn’t sufficient justification to express anger just because we had bumped into each other.

Moreover, as I said earlier, I wanted to avoid dirty shit if I could avoid it. My time and energy were too precious to waste expressing emotions to the person in front of me.

So, fuck.

I should just die for not being able to put proper strength in my legs and staggering around.

“I should just die.”

“…What?”

“Huh?”

I quickly raised my head, which had been gradually bending toward the floor. Seo Jung-hoo, whose habitual smile had half-faded from his face, looked at me with an unreadable, blank gaze.

Soon, Seo Jung-hoo stepped closer.

“What did you say?”

“Uh, what, what?”

“You just said something to me. What did you say?”

I hesitated and stepped backward. After widening the distance that had barely narrowed by one step to four or five steps, I moved my lips.

“What… what? I didn’t say anything.”

“You told me to go die. To me.”

His lips twisted as if intentionally. His eyes, tinted with a subtle light, looked exactly like those of a predator observing with interest a prey caught in a trap in an unexpected situation.

It was momentarily chilling, but irritation came first. Those looks that kept poking at me and the words that persistently tried to interrogate me without knowing when to shut up were more annoying.

‘If you already heard everything, why are you insisting on confirmation?’

“This fucking…

I hastily covered my mouth after muttering unconsciously. My lips, crushed under my palm, trembled as if they would open at any moment to babble fierce curses.

I couldn’t understand myself at all.

‘What the hell is going on?’

Even though I had a somewhat rough, or rather very rough and impulsive tongue, I wasn’t rotten enough to blindly criticize others. This was no exception even if the other person was Seo Jung-hoo, one of those treated as my famous enemies at school.

Moreover, wasn’t I already mentioning this for the third time? I wasn’t leisurely or bored enough to deliberately pick unnecessary fights.

‘But why!’

Why was my mouth moving on its own, spouting useless words? Even at this moment when I was barely covering my mouth, why did my vocal cords tickle as if my voice would leak out at any moment?

That’s when it happened. A translucent window that suddenly appeared in my roughly shaking vision, that blue-tinted thing looked quite similar to what I had seen at the dining table yesterday evening.
