I was now gazing blankly at the calendar of March 2, 2007, I found in my belongings.

I didn't know it was still here. The calendar was from 3 years ago, but I might've put it in a box and stored it somewhere at the bookshelf instead of throwing it away.

I giggled at the carefully written letters that had specks of dust all over. Then I gave a deep sigh with the smile on.

"Whew..."

Yeah, those were the days. At those times, I was innocent enough to believe it was possible to get Nari and I far away from Ban Yeoryeong, the Four Heavenly Kings, and to live a life out of the novel.

Three years had passed since then but still, nothing has changed. Ban Yeoryeong, the dazzling beauty is still living next door. Now, Nari and I are about to go to the same high school with her.

Like salt and pepper, not only Ban Yeoryeong, but the Four Heavenly Kings were coming with us. No wonder.

"..."

I touched 'The day the web novel began,' the letters carefully written on the calendar 3 years ago, and held onto the wall. Then I dropped my head and sighed again.

Yes, I failed in getting us away from the web novel. The boys and Ban Yeoryeong, those who were integrated with all the elements of a novel, were still around and turned my daily life into a surreal nightmare. What could I do? This was the reality I was going through.

The complicated feelings combined with strange emotions of regrets and sympathy provoked me. I could hardly throw out the calendar of 2007 eventually. I put the dusty thing back in the box and pushed it into the corner. As I sighed again, the phone rang inside my pocket.

I took out my phone and found the three letters 'Jiho Eun' flashing on the screen. I opened the folder.

Sent by: Eun Jiho
Don't be late tomorrow

I stared at the message silently.

Eun Jiho, the male protagonist of this novel, was, as expected, truly the same as the character in the novel. He was icy cold to all the girls except for Yun Nari and Ban Yeoryeong.

"..."

Just kidding. He was just a jerk as we got closer.

I moved my fingers to type a message.

Send to: Eun Jiho
Mind your own business ??

After sending the message, I lifted my heavy body and stretched my arms languidly.

It wasn't entirely untrue though. Eun Jiho and Ban Yeoryeong's initial rivalry had pattered out into gradual mutual respect. And the boy had seemed to develop a soft spot for Nari over the years, in my opinion. Well, it's hard not to. It's Nari we're talking about after all.

Yes. Anyway, three years have passed. I thought things such as my relationship between with those novel characters would not change. However, as it turns out, that was what I got: different. This is not just a story about Ban Yeoryeong or even Yun Nari, but it was a story about me.
