My classmates.

A crowd of guys and girls who'd poured out of the law school for lunch had called my name.

And at the center of the crowd, I saw a woman.

"Tae-san. Where were you today?"

Calling to me, so very soft and sweet.

She had some nerve—a face made of solid brass.

"Do you know them?"

Son Yu-ri, standing beside me, asked quietly.

"Law school seniors and classmates."

"I see..."

Son Yu-ri answered, but she looked at the woman with suspicious eyes.

"Tae-san. What's up? Here for lunch? Senior Yu-ri, hello!"

Choi Jun-sik said hi. He'd been in group ten with me at orientation and had even shared drinks with me.

"Hi~. Jun-sik."

"Yes! Sunbae. Heh heh."

When Son Yu-ri remembered his name and said hello, Jun-sik's jaw dropped.

Lee Ye-rin's eyes, by contrast, glinted coldly.

I had no idea what lingering feelings she could have for me.

Her father was a big shot, her family was comfortable, and her face was top-tier.

She was a good student, too; she could snag some future judge and marry him, but the way she looked at me made me uneasy.

I wasn't interested, not even one percent.

As for pretty faces, she was nothing next to Jini noona, the party-girl goddess of heaven.

But Senior Ye-rin didn't know her place.

All dressed up in a short pale-yellow skirt and a green cardigan, she might have worked on other males, but she didn't catch my eye.

She was like a queen bee ordering her worker bees around.

"Tae-san, aren't you taking law classes? Why is it so hard to see you?"

Senior Ye-rin's friendly tone only made my heart go colder.

It all looked fake.

I seemed to be the only one who knew her true face.

"Is that any of your business, sunbae?"

This was overstepping.

Her act as the caring senior who looked out for a junior's classes turned me off even more.

The words came out cold.

"..." For a moment, my classmates' faces showed their embarrassment.

Rookie freshmen living life for the first time wouldn't understand this…
