After School, you gazed at the library room daily from the classroom window. You are Jung Yoon Mi, and to be more specific, you observed the library committee president, Kim Seok Jin and his lover, the teacher Ms. Seul ki. The truth of matter is watching them filled your empty life.
“You’re staring quite intensely. Do you like that boy?” you widened your eyes as you were shock, out of the blue you turned around looking at a guy staring at you, saying “Shall I tell you how to destroy their relationship?” You wanted to get up from your seat but he was leaning on to you and continued “A teacher in a relationship with a student—how shameless. Leaking the relationship would end it, don’t you think?” “Wh..at? Who are you?” nervously, you asked him. He smiled widely and said “I’m something like a devilish monster…though I wonder if I’m more of a monster than a devil.” ‘Out of the blue……the devil appeared.’ You thought to yourself.

Yesterday without thinking, you started observing again.  ‘What the heck was that? Was he teasing me? Or rather, did he see through to my weakness? Was I too obvious?’ you were so anxious.
“Good morning Yoon Mi, what’s been eating you at this morning? Are you feeling okay?” Eunji, your friend, bumped into you at the locker. “Eunji, good morning.” You two walked through the hallway together “Say, Eunji, Do you know of a skinny boy with silver hair and piercings in his ear?” you asked her without hesitating and she answered directly “There are a lot of guys here who fit that description. Do you mean like him?” Eunji pointed out at the end of the hallway and you saw a lot of girls giggling and flirting around a guy, and bingo….it was him…the guy you saw yesterday. “Yoon Mi, is that the kind of guy you’re into?” Eunji asked with a curious face and you raised your voice and replied “No! Absolutely not!” Eunji surprised by your tone she said “Oh really? You seem a little too emphatic. That’s Kim Namjoon, he’s in the lower grade than we are.” ‘He’s younger?!’ you thought to yourself. “Because of his height, and his handsome face. He stands out from the crowd. There isn’t a girl at this school who doesn’t know of him. He’s that popular……..……I mean it. He’s that popular.” “I got it, you don’t have to say it twice.” You glared at her. She frowned “You need to raise your antenna and tune in to what’s going on around you, ya’ know” “I get it, I get it” you lightly bump her shoulders.
-
You stared at his back with Eunji beside you and thought ‘So, he’s Namjoon. Even though he’s handsome on the outside. You could say he’s pure black on the inside.’ He turned his way into you and met his eyes, you, startled pushing Eunji so intensely “Eunji, let’s hurry up and get to class!” “What’s there to be in a hurry about?” she said. “Geez! Just go!” “Hey! Don’t push me...!”

After School, you again came back observing  from the window;
Regardless, you want nothing to do with him. Yes, but just when you thought. He now appeared so suddenly. “We meet again today, stalker. It seems like you’re working hard to be seen through, Yoon Mi” ‘How does he know my name?’ you thought to yourself “…Mr. Dev..” ‘No he’s not the devil’ “Namjoon, have I in some way wronged you?” you asked him twitching. “Huh? No. not at all, did you heard that from someone?” he putted his bag in the chair beside you. “So, what do you want with me?” you asked. “”What do I want?” Can’t I just be curious?” he grinned at you. ‘Huh? Curious?’ “Oh, today he’s by himself.” Namjoon looked at through the window. You replied calmly “The teacher only comes to the library two or three times a month.” “Hmm…you’re through.” He looked at you “I’m not a stalker!” you said to him back while he continued and said “Is that so? If they were exposed, it would be over. Or would that be a problem for you?” “What?” you confuse… “Do you enjoy watching a guy you like meet another woman? Are you a masochist?” he asked plainly “Don’t say something that will ruin my reputation!.....Of course I get no enjoyment from this.” You sat back from your seat and were thinking about him…the Jin you know, were from that rainy day:
You were standing, waiting for the stop sign, soaked from the rain. You sighed…then, you suddenly felt the rain stop pouring on to you…you turned your head up and saw Jin, with an umbrella covering you. Of course you were surprised and couldn’t say a thing so you just kept quiet for a while. When you two walked cross the street, you sat in a bench waiting for a bus. He closed his umbrella and you shyly said to him “Th-thank…you..” he ignored you and walked pass. ‘Was it unintentionally?’ he turned around and continued to walk further away but then you saw his left shoulder all soaked wet… ‘No, it wasn’t…’ you, surprised.
Since then, on the way to school, and at school, you looked for him. You now knew that Jin is a serious guy.  But before your eyes….you saw him standing in front of another with a loving smile on his face. That’s the only time he smiles; with that woman.
-
“You have no life.” Namjoon suddenly speaks out. You felt sad, cause’ you know he was right… “You fell in love with the smile he gives to another person. And you just quietly observe?” “I’m self-conscious about it, don’t rub it in!” you putted your head down at your desk. “Uh-huh, I knew it. Unrequited love has seriously wounded you and left you with a broken heart. Hence, the reason for this habit of yours.”  You then thought to yourself ‘Again, he speaks like the whispering of a devil’ he then continued staring at you so blindly “You want him to smile that way at you right?” “I do, but I don’t. It will ruin things.” You said to yourself. “Why?” he asked, widening his eyes. ‘Why?’ “Uh…well, maybe it’s because I lack self-confidence.” You looked at his way and he suddenly smiled so calmly to you “You’re honest aren’t you, Yoon Mi?”
-----
Does that make you a coward? Is your conscience nagging you? Either way, this is not exactly making you look good. But you just love him. “I love him.” You whispered to yourself while you stared right through the glass window…when his with her….…so happy…smiling lovingly. You suddenly felt your chest crumpled like an unused paper, you were about to cry but then suddenly… “Guess who?” Namjoon covered your eyes. “Oh, Namjoon what do you want…? Let go of Me.” you grabbed his hands “Hmm?” his deep voice echoed throughout the classroom while he’s still covering your eyes….…after a while he lets go and smiled at you saying “Nothing much. I’m just up to no good.” You stared at him “You have a lot of time on your hands Namjoon. Lately, you’ve been coming here every day” “I’m doing the same thing that you are.” ‘What was that about? Oh, could he be…concerned about me?’ you thought and said to him “I am already used to seeing them together.” He suddenly replied “Ah, I see…you don’t know what expression is on your face everytime you look out through the window do you?” “My expression? No, I don’t” you look back at the window trying to see your reflection but you saw Jin with a shocked face through the window, your eyes met. You quickly jump back and Namjoon caught hold of your arm as you were about to fell “Whoa, what? Did something happened?” You replied sweating through yourself “Our eyes met…”
-
The next day people were gossiping through each other, you were just quietly sitting down on your seat and then Eunji came ”Today, again? You seemed quite stressed” You looked deadly tired thinking about yesterdays happenings “Ah…Eunji….G-good morning….” “Oh! I heard something serious is going on in the principal’s office, it’s all everyone’s been talking about.” “Huh?” “They say Ms. Seul ki brought a male student to the infirmary yesterday after school. Isn’t that the worst?” You were surprised; you stood up and swiftly walked through the hallway. “You are probably getting the wrong idea from the gossip that’s going around” A warm whisper said through your ear, you were startled “Kya!!” and saw Namjoon with his bed hair “Geez, you snuck up on me again.” “Haha~ Anyways, shall we find out what really happened?” “Huh? Well um….” Before you can even finished your sentence Namjoon said “Speak of the devil. Look..” you turned around and saw Jin walking towards you, you were nervous saying “Uh, um….” But then he just passed to you and walks through the hallway. “Oh the gossip going around isn’t about him, it’s not just me saying this…..he’s got nothing to do with it.” Jin stopped from walking as he heard Namjoon’s loud voice. Jin turned back to your way and said “I’m not ‘The student who was in the infirmary.’” You saw his face, it was different from before…he looked sad. Jin then continued walking and he walks in to the library room. Namjoon then said “Isn’t this your chance?” “Chance?” “I don’t quite understand what’s going on, but if that guys wasn’t the guy from the infirmary, doesn’t that mean the teacher was two-timing him?” Namjoon continued smiling “If you’re going to take advantage of his broken-heart, now is the time to—“ he stopped and looked at you. Seriously, he then said “Why are you making that face?” You replied and stared at him “What face?” “The saddest-face-I’ve-ever-seen kind of face.” You wonder why, you feel so hurt. Him facing you without a smile left you feeling empty and sad so which of us is hurting most? “How could I possibly think of this as a chance?” you ran to the library room leaving Namjoon behind “Yoon Mi?!”
And then as you looked for Jin, you saw him staring through the window. He heard your footsteps and turned around “You, from earlier….is there something you want?” You were so nervous in front of him ‘Heart be still’ you said to yourself “Uh, I’m Jung Yoon Mi, second year student….W-would you come with me to see Ms. Seul Ki?!” ‘What?...It suddenly came out’ Jin widened his eyes and said “I think the gossip got something wrong, so…do you know something about it?” “Yesterday, our eyes met right? I can see the library room from the second floor classroom…so I know what’s been going on” You suddenly felt your chest stings ‘Which of us is hurting the most?’ this question keeps ringing through your mind. “The two of you look so happy, you were going to ask her out. You have to make it clear to Ms. Seul ki.” You calmly said to him, he then look down the floor saying “I didn’t have the confidence. It doesn’t go beyond liking her….I’ll go talk to Ms. Seul ki.” He started to walk outside and then you said “Oh! But if you go alone now, you’ll probably come under suspicion. I’ll go with you.” He stared at you “…..Why do you so much care about this?” You froze for a sec. and then you finally said it to him “Because……I really like your smiling face.” You smiled to him. ‘And I don’t want you to be hurt’ you thought to yourself.

“Pardon…” you walked in to the Infirmary and saw the beautiful Ms. Seulki, she asked “Did you injure yourself during class activities?” “No, that’s not why I’m here.” You then pointed outside the door and then Jin came in looking at Ms. Seulki so seriously. “Jin…?” Ms. Seulki dumbfounded. When Jin was about to say “Um…” Namjoon suddenly came in from the door with another guy loudly saying “Pardon me just a minute!! Sorry for interrupting…” ‘Namjoon?! And who’s what? Oh my gosh, is that the infirmary boy?’ you shouted from your head. The guy suddenly speaks out “Ms. Seulki, I’m sorry for causing so much trouble!!” he bowed deeply. The three of you dumbfounded “Huh??” Namjoon then said “To summarize…yesterday, when the infirmary was unmanned, a lab coat was left on the back of the chair. A trouble-making boy put the lab coat on his girlfriend to amuse himself with some so-called ‘cosplay’ coincidently, someone happened someone happened to see them and misinterpreted the situation. And the next day which is today, it seems the rumors spread.” The guy was embarrassed and said nervously “Please forgive me, I’ll speak up to clarify the rumor.” Ms. Seul ki smiled and said “I’m glad you came forward with the truth, I don’t want there to be a misunderstanding….” Namjoon bluntly said “Well, if you don’t act too self-conscious, you’ll look guilty and draw attention to yourselves.” The twitch and smiled lovingly to each other. You and Namjoon was about to walk out of the room then “Yoon Mi…” Jin called out to you, you turned around and then unexpectedly he smiled to you “Thank you.” You felt happy and you smiled back to him.
---
You and Namjoon walked up to the school’s rooftop and then you leaned on the railings. “ I don’t understand, instead of taking advantage of the situation, you instead brought them closer together.” He said looking at you. You stared up to the sky and said “I’m fine with it. He’s smiling again so I’m fine with it.” “Is it because someone else’s happiness is more important than you own? You’re too soft-hearted” you turned your head to him “What? No, no….Jin’s sorrow is my sorrow, so this was all for my benefit.” You smiled widely but softly to him. “What the—pfft!” ‘How could he laugh in my face, how rude can he be?!’ you thought angrily as you see him trying to cover his face from laughing. “S-sorry, I sortta felt like I stepped into a trap or something…” he finally acts normally and continued “The first time I saw you, you were gazing out the window with a sad look on your face. If it made you sad, then you shouldn’t have watched. It made me wonder why you did watch. I was curious. I wanted to nudge you to see if something interesting would happen. I wanted to shake you up, yet that’s now what happened. I Like Your Bravery.” He suddenly leans on to you closer “W-what are you—“ you were flustered. “I’m the type who doesn’t hesitate to take advantage of a broken-heart.” He’s face got closer to yours “Y-you monster…” “Yes, like I told you from the start, I am a devil….right?” he pinned you from the railings and suddenly captured in his arms, the devil sweetly whispered to your ear. “I like you.”
