Blurb:
The Su and Qin families have been close for generations, and Su Jin and Qin Han were childhood friends born in the same year. They went to school together and sat at the same desk from kindergarten through their first year of high school.
After seventeen years of friendship, everyone around them thought they were bound to end up together as a couple.
Their friends all said Qin Han must love Su Jin.
And he really did love her deeply. If Su Jin asked him to do something, there was nothing Qin Han couldn't do.
That was until their second year of high school, when a transfer student named He Aiai claimed all of Qin Han's attention. He took He Aiai on a midnight bike ride across half the city to a place he'd once taken Su Jin to watch fireworks, lined up to buy meals for her, and fought thugs for her...
Su Jin didn't understand why. She thought she must have done something wrong, and followed carefully behind him with her fingers curled, apologizing.
Later, someone pushed Su Jin down the stairs, and she hit her head. Only then did she learn that she was the villainess in a novel, doing everything in her power to keep the heroine, He Aiai, and the hero, Qin Han, apart. In the end, the two of them joined forces to throw her into the sea as shark bait.
When Su Jin woke up in the hospital, she was terrified. She packed her things and ran away that very night.
She liked Qin Han, but she valued her life more!
After moving to another city and changing schools, she unexpectedly ran into the older boy who had lived next door to her as a child.
He was just as warm and thoughtful as before. Worried she wouldn't adjust to living alone, he cleaned her place, made sure she ate three meals a day, and drove her to and from school. He took wonderful care of her.
But why had the hero Qin Han, who was supposed to live happily ever after with the heroine, followed her here?!
Su Jin: Back off! Back off!
Bonus scene:
Qin Han: "Why did Xiao Jin leave so suddenly? Come back with me. Your parents said they miss you."
Su Jin didn't dare go back. She struggled to pry his hand off hers. "Let go..."
But even after he squeezed her wrist red, he still wouldn't release her, until a long-fingered hand reached over and pulled his hand away.
The older boy next door rarely let his expression darken, but now his eyes were clouded. "Didn't you hear her tell you to let go?"
Su Jin quickly hid behind the older boy, only to hear Qin Han cry out, "Uncle? When did you come back to the country?"
Su Jin: "?"
The boy next door is your uncle?
