“Victoria-ssi, please be my girlfriend!” one day, the boy that Victoria’s secretly in love with for 3 years told her. His words made her surprised; she thought that her wish finally came true after she prayed for a long time. However, life is unexpected “You can just pretend until graduation” he said to Victoria who was frozen with her open mouth.

Victoria’s POV:

His name is Lee Donghae; I’ve been secretly in love with him. He’s very popular among girls. He is good-looking, funny, always gorgeous and the center of attention.

“So…what do you think?” asked Donghae scratching his hair awkwardly.

“Ah…yeah… I will do my best” said Victoria looking down at the floor. She knew exactly what she said, of course, she wouldn’t reject the man she loves even though it was pretending.

“Really!?!” exclaimed Donghae happily “Thank you, Victoria-ssi! Let’s start tomorrow!”

The next day at school, Victoria was going to her class wondering “I’m his “girlfriend” from now on… Oh my...I’m so nervous…. How should I behave?” then a girl shouted “There! She is Victoria!” then a
