"What's wrong with your annoying face?" Junkyu asked as he entered the lecture hall and walked toward the seat where Jihoon was sitting. He looked closer at Jihoon's face. "Is that dark circle? Did you even sleep yesterday? You'll make your face ugly,"

"I couldn't sleep," Jihoon said. "Kim Junkyu. What do you think about my face?"

"Annoying just like the first time I saw it more than 20 years ago," Junkyu said after taking a good look at Jihoon's face for a few seconds.

"As if you remember our first meeting. We are basically babies," Jihoon said. "You said that the dark circle will make my face ugly. Didn't you mean without the dark circle, my face is not ugly?"

"What kind of answer do you want me to give? Objective? Subjective?" Junkyu asked.

"Just look at me. Right. Or anytime. Am I that unattractive?" Jihoon asked. Junkyu took Jihoon's phone and opened the camera application. He took Jihoon's picture and showed it to Jihoon.

"What do you think?" Junkyu asked. Jihoon looked at the picture that Junkyu just took with his phone.

"I mean. I personally think that I didn't look that bad. This face is quite okay that average guys. You saw my dad's picture when he's in university, right? He's handsome right? I remember hearing you said that. And my mom said that I look exactly like my dad when he was in university. Didn't that mean that I look handsome too?" Jihoon asked. He showed his phone's screen to Junkyu. "Don't you think so? Take a good look at it,"

"Are you trying to pick a fight with me?" Junkyu asked.

"You are the one who always picks a fight with me first," Jihoon said.

"What's the problem now, hm?" Junkyu asked.

"Are you Junkyu?"

"Huh?"

"It's weird when you suddenly worry about me. Are you sure you're not Yoshi's ghost possessing Junkyu's body?" Jihoon asked. "Yoshi isn't dead yet isn't he?"

"Okay. Just forget about it. I'm not even curious about it," Junkyu said.

"Are you mad?" Jihoon asked. Junkyu rolled his eyes. "You know that yesterday I wore the jersey you picked up for me and went to take the practice session of our university's band, right? Hyunsuk was there. I'm pretty sure he saw me wearing the jersey. But he didn't even talk to me. He look totally interested,"

"Oh? Really?" Junkyu asked. "I'm pretty sure that the jersey that I picked up for you is from one of the clubs that he supported. I saw a lot of the kids praising your outfit yesterday. It's weird that Hyunsuk didn't even show any interest,"

"Right?!" Jihoon said. "Is it because I'm not handsome enough? That's why he didn't show any interest toward me? But it feels too obvious that it hurts. It feels like he's giving the signal for me not to get any closer to him,"

"Aren't you being delusional? You guys haven't even shared any conversations. There's no reason for a person like Choi Hyunsuk to do that toward you," Junkyu said. "Did you like to accidentally or unconsciously get on his bad side? Did you date his sister and dump her or something?"

"I haven't even met his sister. Eh? He had a sister?" Jihoon asked.

"It's expected. You are only interested in Choi Hyunsuk and only him," Junkyu said. "So, that one can be ruled out,"

"I'm so sad that he didn't even look in my direction. I was so ready to greet him if he ever looked at me," Jihoon said.

"As if. I can totally imagine that you will just stand there like a stone if you guys ever made eye contact," Junkyu said. "Is it because of your annoying attitude? Because I hate your attitude. Maybe he didn't show any interest because he disliked your attitude or something,"
