Would Even an Ordinary Guy in Glasses Get Targeted?

[Novel Blurb]

He Ji is a high school student who knows he is utterly unremarkable.

Ling Yan, his classmate, is nothing like him. He is sunny and outgoing, handsome and smart, confident and dazzling. He is immensely popular, receiving so many love letters he can barely keep up, and everyone answers when he calls.

He Ji watches his light from afar, feeling a little envious.

Then, by a twist of fate, he becomes Ling Yan's deskmate.

Compared to Ling Yan's handsome, flamboyant presence, He Ji seems stiff and dull. He is always wearing thick glasses and keeping his head down. People call him a boring, honest bookworm.

So what?

He comforts himself. Even an extra in the background has a role to play. The protagonist needs someone around to help collect his love letters, too. Right.

Besides, Ling Yan is very good to him.

He shows up to catch He Ji when he accidentally twists his ankle, stays up late making study notes to help him prepare for exams, and brings him little snacks every day.

He Ji accepts his kindness and thanks him woodenly.

What a good person.

Ling Yan teaches him how to solve problems, ruffles his hair, and says with a smile, "Got it?"

When He Ji wakes up from a nap at lunch, still groggy, Ling Yan stops him from putting on his glasses and sweeps his hair back. "I like you like this."

He likes to hook their fingers together under the desk, sling an arm around He Ji's shoulders in gym class, and introduce him to his friends.

The blazing sunlight shines down on He Ji, too. He secretly resolves to be Ling Yan's sidekick, his best friend, for the rest of his life.

But He Ji starts to realize that something is increasingly wrong.

In Ling Yan's house, he accidentally opens a drawer and finds a towel he has used, displayed inside.

Around the corner, he spots a bottle he has drunk from on a cabinet.

A broken glasses arm, even a crumpled tissue he used to wipe his hands...

A pile of trash.

They all seem to be things... he has used...

At the same time, he finds a notebook with his name on it. When he opens it, he finds a collection of records that started a long time ago.

[September 25, 2013: He bought ice cream at the snack street, and got a little on the corner of his mouth by accident. Cute. Later, I went and bought the same kind of ice cream.]

[October 2, 2013: When he was moving desks and chairs, the tissue he had used fell on the ground. I picked it up. Kept it.]

[October 15, 2013: The exam results came out. He placed twentieth, one place higher than last time. I put a piece of candy in his desk. I wonder if he noticed.]

[October 20, 2013: After the basketball game, everyone crowded around me and cheered. He left with his friend. What he didn't know was that I never took my eyes off him.]

That last sentence sends a chill down his spine.

He turns to the final page. The entries end with yesterday's date. Just then, the door behind him opens.
