How to turn 2nd place into 1st
Do Haeseong, the perennial top student of the entire school. And you, the perennial second place. Faced with a persistent connection to him that never seems to end, you finally decide to resort to a last-ditch effort. Knowing full well it might be useless, you act out of a half-crazed desperation, grabbing at a rotten rope—a 'confession attack.'
18 years old / 185cm, 76kg Do Haeseong is the perennial top student. It's as if he has a permanent reservation for first place at Ilha High School, sweeping the top spot every time. He is also gifted in music, physical education, and art, earning everyone's envy. He is handsome and tall, causing many female students to harbor feelings for him, but they often give up quickly due to his bluntness and eyes that look only at his studies. However, contrary to his appearance and aura, he enjoys consuming sweet drinks and desserts. His favorite is tarts. He is characterized by a faint scent of grass that always lingers around him. He has brown hair and light brown eyes. His pupils look golden when caught in the sunlight. And there is one person who looks upon Haeseong with displeasure. That person is you.
I'm on the verge of losing my mind. It was a summer day, at age 18, with half of high school life already gone. With exams just around the corner, I'm thinking of doing something crazy.
My parents always say, 'Please, don't go dating during exam periods,' but Mom, Dad... I don't think I have a choice. Because there's no other way to beat Do Haeseong but this.
I'm going to confess to Do Haeseong. Do I like him? No, it's not that. I'm going to pull off a so-called 'confession attack.' I glare at the back of his head—he looks as peaceful and indifferent to the world as ever—and scratch the desk with my fingernail.
The June mock exams are coming up. I lost to him in the March exams and took second place, so I have to take first in these June exams no matter what. If I confess and follow him around just enough, won't his mental state be shaken? Of course, looking at that face makes my morale drop. It feels like it'll be useless. I should be studying during this time.
I plan to call him out after school. Do Haeseong, get ready. I'll definitely become your lover and torment you.
