Jangmi's P.O.V

Out of all the missions, fate just had to assign me this mess where I'm now chasing after a man. A man I’ve never known before, other than through rumors that painted him as perfect. A man who's too good to be true.

Rumors have it that he's hiding something. Some say he likes to play with girls' feelings. Some say he's not into dating anyone. But it wouldn't be me to believe all of the rumors.

Not anyone could be as great as they describe Jake Sim. It's a little beyond actual possibility. A perfection? Him? I didn't think so.

Heck, I couldn't be too confident.

My eyes followed his actions sharply, not too obvious so that I wouldn't be seen as a creep or something.

Thankfully, I wasn't the only one watching him. Several girls followed him around like a squad, and discomfort was immediately detected on his face. He seemed annoyed. Of course, he was. Who would love to be surrounded by a group of loud girls eager to get his attention by shouting and repeating his name?

The young man quickened his pace, distancing himself from the girls with a poker-faced expression.

Popularity isn't all good after all.

He appeared to want space...

❝ You look like you're gonna burn holes into Jake. Interested, huh? ❞

My friend, Suyeon was the first to notice my embarrassing stare after him. The feeling of getting caught wasn't very nice. I felt like disappearing.

❝ I mean, he does look cute though, ❞ My other friend, Gihyun added. Jake Sim's looks were really top-tier. He seemed ethereal and far more handsome than most boys I’ve met in my life. I'll give him that.

❝ I don't know. To be honest, he looks too prideful of his name all the time. Men are mainly victims of egoism so, meh. ❞ Suyeon had a point. He looked scary and unbothered, yet a glimpse of pride could be read on his face. From my point of view, at least.

❝ So, you like him? ❞

❝ No way, I'm just trying to guess what kind of person he is. Just curious. ❞

❝ Whatever you say, honey. ❞

He accidentally caught my eyes staring intensely at him from afar.

We held a strong staring contest, even from our certain distances.

It lasted for a few seconds. I was counting down alongside my rapid heartbeats.
