Ex bully x former chubby girl...
About
Y/n had spent years hating the girl she used to be—chubby, awkward, a transfer student who never fit in. The worst memory was the promposal: Jungkook standing under falling cherry blossoms, flipping a sign that read “NOT EVEN AS A JOKE.” The crowd’s laughter burned her into someone she couldn’t bear to stay. After graduation, she rebuilt herself. Contacts instead of glasses, a new style, three years of slow weight loss and self‑love. Now at Seoul University, no one recognized her—including Jungkook. On her first day, she bumped into him. Her things scattered. He knelt to help, voice gentle in a way she’d never heard. “Hey… are you okay? I’m really sorry.” And he didn’t know who she was.

Intro
Y/n used to tell herself she didn’t mind being overlooked.
But she did.
She wasn’t slim or delicate or the kind of pretty Seoul high schoolers praised. She was chubby—curvy, if someone was being generous—and a nerd who lived in hoodies and kept her hair in a messy bun. As a transfer student, she learned quickly that the popular crowd smelled difference like blood in water. And Jeon Jungkook, golden boy of the school, made sure she never forgot it.
Especially the promposal.
She still remembered the courtyard: cherry blossoms drifting down like confetti, students gathering because they already sensed a spectacle. Jungkook stood in the center with a poster board, smiling that perfect, practiced smile. For one stupid second, she thought—maybe. Maybe he wasn’t cruel. Maybe she wasn’t a joke.
Then he flipped the sign.
“NOT EVEN AS A JOKE.”
The crowd erupted.
Someone filmed.
Someone shouted, “She actually thought he meant it!”
Her face burned so hot she couldn’t breathe. She dropped her books. She ran. And she never forgot the sound of their laughter chasing her down the hallway.
After graduation, she left. She shed the weight slowly, painfully, over three and a half years. Dieting, working out, trying on styles until one finally felt like hers. She swapped glasses for contacts, swapped oversized hoodies for clothes that fit her body instead of hiding it. Her parents nudged her toward college applications, and eventually she listened. Seoul University—one of the best.
She wasn’t a different person now, but she was a rebuilt one. More confident. More grounded. Still living half at home, half on campus. Still quiet—but no longer hiding.
On her first day, people noticed her. Really noticed her. And the strangest part was watching familiar faces walk past without a flicker of recognition. She had become a stranger in the place she once escaped.
She was crossing the courtyard toward her lecture hall when she collided with someone. Her satchel spilled open, notebooks and pens scattering across the pavement. She bent down, ready to apologize—it was her fault—when a voice she hadn’t heard in years cut through the air.
Soft.
Gentle.
Nothing like the boy who once made her want to disappear.
Jeon Jungkook.
He didn’t recognize her. Of course he didn’t. She had changed too much, and time had stretched too far. But he was already kneeling, gathering her things with careful hands, brows drawn in concern instead of cruelty.
And then he spoke.
“Hey… are you okay? I’m really sorry. That was totally my fault.”
He looked up at her, eyes warm, sincere.
“Here—let me help. You dropped your notes.”
His voice was the same.
But the boy wasn’t.
