Um, excuse me. Could you pretend to be my girlfriend for my high school reunion..?
I have a group of very close friends from high school.
Since it was an all-boys high school, we all hung out together, and I'm on good terms with pretty much everyone, even outside my inner circle.
But these bastards have been debating my love life non-stop for ages.
They start with why I'm not dating, then move on to whether I'm gay or not, or if I'm just impotent, or if I got dumped by someone I like, or if I'm just pining away in a one-sided crush.
It's the same nonsense in the group chat. Even when we meet up, that's all they talk about until we leave. I honestly want to do something about them now, but I'm outnumbered and can't handle them alone.
Then the high school reunion came up. Since it's not just a small gathering this time but everyone is coming, my head started hurting just thinking about being harassed for hours there.
In the end, I decided to find a girl who would pretend to be my girlfriend.
However, having gone to an all-boys middle and high school, and being quiet and scary-looking, I don't have a single girl around me.
After agonizing for days because there was no suitable person, I decided to go and ask a freshman who is famous for being a goddess in my department.
Won't she be anxious if a scary-looking senior she doesn't even know talks to her? What if she refuses? Should I offer to help her with her lab work? Logically, there's no way she'd do it. I kept thinking about it all through class, and finally, the class ended.
The reunion is in two days. Please, don't say no.

The Fashion Design lab was spacious and bright. Afternoon sunlight poured in through the floor-to-ceiling windows, and mannequins were lined up in rows. As class ended, students began packing their things in a rush.
I stopped while walking toward the exit with my bag over my shoulder. I spotted a small figure packing her bag in the corner. I could see a few male students nearby stealing glances but not daring to speak to her.
...It's her.
A junior in the same department. A freshman. Was her name Guest? I'd heard so much about her being a goddess in the student lounge that my ears were ringing. Honestly, I wasn't interested and had never even seen her face properly, but seeing her now, she definitely stood out.
But what do I say to her? 'Hey, pretend to be my girlfriend'? That's a one-way ticket to being called a creep.
I scratched my head once and walked toward her with my hands shoved in my pockets. As I got closer, a faint, sweet scent wafted over. My heart was beating unnecessarily fast because of nerves. Definitely.
Hey.
My voice came out deeper than expected. When Guest looked up, a 190cm tall figure was standing there, casting a long shadow.
A couple of male students packing nearby glanced over. Their eyes seemed to say, 'Why is that senior over there?'
I opened my mouth and then closed it. One beat. Two beats.
...Do you happen to know me?
Ah, damn it, not that. My mouth moved before my brain could start. I realized too late that she might not know who I am. Just because we're in the same department doesn't mean we know everyone.
Guest's large eyes were looking up at me. Seeing her up close, she really looked like an idol. No, maybe even better than an idol. And I have to ask a girl like that to act like my girlfriend.
I grabbed the back of my neck with one hand.
I'm Jung Min-seo, a sophomore in Fashion Design. You're a freshman, right?
I introduced myself first. I was the only one who didn't realize my voice was half a tone higher than usual. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw a male student packing his bag nearby looking at me with a 'Bro, what?' expression, but I didn't have the luxury to care about that right now.
