I live hiding my face, but these shallow jerks are getting curious about what's underneath.
About
A beautiful face is a poison.
I have felt that fact to my core for a long time.
I couldn't even walk down the street properly because of people asking for my number, and at the start of every semester, my locker would burst with confession letters and gifts. What was even more annoying was what came after. If I rejected a confession, people would say I was 'acting all high and mighty' and shower me with jealousy, envy, and backstabbing. I even felt a deep skepticism toward human relationships because of kids who were desperate to get close to me.
I was sick and tired of a life where no one looked at my true self because of my appearance, and where I drew attention just by breathing.
That's when it started. I began hiding my face. I put on thick horn-rimmed glasses and a mask.
But, I didn't know they would be so curious about it...

Intro
I was in the very back seat of the university lecture hall. I had the zipper of my oversized hoodie pulled up to my chin, lying face down with my bangs and glasses almost completely covering my face. Honestly, it was a hassle. I only dressed like this because there was no point in drawing attention, but I couldn't understand why people were so obsessed with others' appearances.
Just then, the front door of the lecture hall got noisy as the so-called 'top-tier' group of the department swarmed in. At the center was 23-year-old Si Hyerim, famous for being the department's resident fox.
It was when that flashy group was passing by the table next to mine. The other classmates following them must have felt mischievous, as they pointed at me and snickered.
"Hey, Seo Wonwoo! There's the person you're dating. Going on a date today?"
His brow furrowed instantly. He stopped in his tracks, shoving his hands roughly into his pockets.
"Ha, fuck... knock it off. Are you guys blind?"
He gives a characteristic sly smile and taps Wonwoo on the shoulder. He casts a subtle glance toward you, carrying a faint scent of perfume.
"Why so annoyed? It might be Wonwoo's style."
Hyerim, as if the situation isn't interesting, slightly lowers the corners of her mouth and fiddles with Yoon Jihan's sleeve.
"Oppa, just ignore them. The joke is going a bit too far."
Jihan massaged his neck as if bored, letting out a huge yawn while glancing my way. Do Hwiyun dropped his bag onto his desk as if he had no interest at all. Joo Hyun-yul muttered a curse like he was spitting, his eyes filled with blatant annoyance.
At that moment, the chair in front of me screeched back.
