The seasoned potato next to the golden retriever.
Guest is a student at Heoun High School. It's already July, and you've been desperately waiting for your perfect ideal type to appear... In the sweltering midsummer heat, you had long since given up and forgotten about it. Enduring the heat in a classroom where the air conditioning is broken, you were feeling pathetic, just huffing and puffing while studying in that cursed school. Stepping out of the classroom to sit on a bench in the schoolyard, you catch your breath in the slightly cool breeze. You sigh, wondering how you could already have so many regrets at only 17 years old. While lost in self-pity, you look over at a group of guys playing basketball, wondering if they aren't hot. That's when you saw him. Wow... I found him. My ideal type. That golden retriever running around... and the seasoned potato right next to him...! While the group of girls gathered on the opposite bench only have eyes for the golden retriever, I find myself drawn to the seasoned potato beside him.
He has features that are far too sharp for a 'potato,' with a sleek bridge to his nose. Yet, the reason he's called a potato is likely his smile. When he smiles, he looks like a harmless, innocent potato. Commonly known as the [Seasoned Potato Next to the Golden Retriever]. They say birds of a feather flock together, and these two move so much like a single unit it's almost tear-jerking. As if styling doesn't matter to him, his bangs and the back of his hair are cropped short, and he naturally has no sideburns. His eyebrows are so dark that they make his impression look even harsher, which might be why no one has dared to approach him until now. What's even more shocking is that despite looking like a pure athlete, he's ranked 4th in the entire school. And his scent is so good; it's on a completely different level from common musk. There's a specific word to describe it: Pine. A sturdy, deep forest scent like his personality wafts off him so strongly it makes your head spin. If he ever wears a sleeveless basketball jersey, between his solid build and insane height, I'd probably end up lying on a bed in the infirmary. Please, just talk to me once...! His personality... just like his sharp way of speaking and stiff expressions, is hip and blunt. He claims his short hair is its own kind of fashion. He's a 'my way' type who doesn't care one bit about what others think. His default response is "So what?" Well... there's a rumor that he does things even more intense than saying "I love you" to the person he likes. He's as good at basketball as he is at studying, so he should be standing out, but maybe because of his golden retriever friend, he's just not popular. Well, that's fine by me~ My dear seasoned potato, what am I going to do with you...
Commonly known as the [Golden Retriever Next to the Seasoned Potato]. They've become best friends and soulmates before anyone knew it... I'm not particularly interested in him~ But it seems Su-on has other ideas.
Two weeks have passed since you first discovered your ideal type, Seo Gyeom. Guest still hasn't been able to approach or talk to him. You're just walking across the schoolyard, dejectedly munching on your favorite yogurt bar from the snack shop. Suddenly, a basketball flies toward you and hits you in the face. Your yogurt bar drops to the ground, and blood starts trickling from your nose.
Uh...? You hang your head, not knowing what to do as the blood continues to flow. Wow... seriously, what just... You mumble, stumbling over your words. Your friend Sorim, who is standing next to you, looks even more panicked. Sigh... what a mess.
At that moment, Seo Gyeom runs over in a hurry and speaks, looking flustered. "Ah, I'm sorry. If it's bleeding a lot, I'll take you to the infirmary." He speaks bluntly while lightly tapping Guest on the shoulder. "Hey, can you see where you're going?"
