Karim began speaking a few moments later. "Um..... He's just really nice to me. He just really cares for me in a lot of ways. Last time, my dorm roommate hyung told me to make his bed for him, right?

I knew the feelings that Swanhaden had towards Shuraina. The feelings that he had were immense. That was why I didn't like him. Let me fix that. I just didn't like Swanhaden, period. He just had a pretty face. He had a bad attitude and was full of scars. You could see he had a … Continue reading I Don’t Want to be an Ojakgyo (76)

The more my thoughts changed, the harder it became for me to keep up my fake appearances. I couldn't bear to be treated like some kind of pretty, decorative flower anymore. The love letters that I always received made me scowl, and hearing people talk about how my face and body showed that I would … Continue reading I Don’t Want to be an Ojakgyo (75)

Hestia put her bowl aside and fiddled with her fingers. She glanced at her surroundings, as if hesitating to speak. Hestia buried her face into the blankets and whined into them for a while. Her long pink hair blocked me from trying to see her expression, and she just kept covering her face with her … Continue reading I Don’t Want to be an Ojakgyo (74)

When classes ended for the day, I grabbed a blanket, coffee, and other my study … Continue reading I Don’t Want to be an Ojakgyo (73)

"That....... I just did that yesterday because I was jealous! You guys are on a roll, you know? The most popular ones in our grade!""If you're jealous, then roll yourself out the door. You know how to get a day pass.""That's now what I'm talking about! Ugh.""Stop saying that we're on a roll, that's so … Continue reading I Don’t Want to be an Ojakgyo (72)

Hestia frowned at me as I continued to throw questions her way. Although she had been fuming a second ago, her eyes suddenly lost their focus. She moved almost machine-like as she continued to put ointment on my head. Hestia put more strength into her hand as she continued to applied ointment, so I just … Continue reading I Don’t Want to be an Ojakgyo (71)

Because of my punishment, I had to be in my dorms as soon as school ended for the day. Today, I wasn't even allowed to eat at the cafeteria. The teacher managing the dorm told me that they'd bring it to me themselves and told me to stay put. Honestly, there were enough things to … Continue reading I Don’t Want to be an Ojakgyo (70)

"Hey, if you're jealous of Shushu, just say that. Let's stop talking about this. It's making me uncomfortable. Shuraina helped us last time, remember?""Well, thinking about it, she looks kinda mean, but she's good at a lot of stuff like magic and swordsmanship. It feels more like she just has a lot of people around … Continue reading I Don’t Want to be an Ojakgyo (69)

The three of us began to rush as we got ready for school when Hazel suddenly slapped her head and burst into laughter. "Puhaha, haha! Shushu! Kyakya, keh." Hestia, who was grabbing her pillow and was getting ready to run to her room, paused and stared at me. "....nooooooo, hold on." The two of them … Continue reading I Don’t Want to be an Ojakgyo (68)
