Chapter 1.

The 13 Series, launched by Company B this year, is the mid-size sports sedan that places the most emphasis on visual appeal in the entire series. The smooth, curved side lines were sleek and urban, while the front, arranged with a balanced straight line, emphasized simplicity and harmonized with a weighty bumper, thus rightfully earning praise for possessing both sportiness and power. The high rear, contrasting with the low body, and the excessively large silver muffler tip are one of the key charm points.

This 800 million won car, which has been praised by a prominent magazine for reaching the pinnacle of design, is mine.

"Wow... It's really amazing."

In front of my house.

I was moved by the car that had arrived. The already handsome car felt even more refined due to the matte black color I chose. I felt like taking it out on the road right away.

It is a well-known fact that when this top-of-the-line car, limited to 199 units worldwide, appears on the road, everyone's attention will be drawn to it...

I wanted to boldly shout to the prettiest girl in front of everyone.

"Hey, get in!"

Since the 13 Series is the number one car that women want to ride in as a passenger, I felt a surge of confidence that I could easily succeed in hunting, even if it's just me.

"But I'll save the hunting for another time. First, I'll..."

I started the car.

Vroom!!

The heavy and powerful engine roared, making my heart race.

In fact, the 13 Series has a significantly downsized engine compared to the 12.8 Series. Unlike the 12.8 Series, which was marketed as a super sedan, the 13 Series was designed with a focus on design rather than power, which was an inevitable change.

However, it still boasts a monstrous performance with a maximum of 580 horsepower, 72 kg·m of torque, and a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of 3.8 seconds.

The 13 Series is a car that can be called a super sedan without any hesitation.

"Let's go!"

I set off with the Thirteen.

Vroom-!

An incredible power and speed that reaches 100 km/h in less than 4 seconds after starting!

A perfect ride with no sense of instability, even when making sharp turns as a novice driver!

"Wow! Amazing!! Thirteen, you're really amazing!! Hahaha!!"

I can't help but laugh, feeling so happy and as if it's all a dream.

Just a few months ago, I was nothing more than a debt-ridden game addict, but now I'm the owner of an 800 million won car!

Isn't this a perfect example of a life turnaround?

Satisfy, which means to satisfy, to fulfill, or to meet needs, was indeed a wonderful and fantastic game that lived up to its name.

I felt a renewed sense of gratitude that this virtual reality game, a genre that was once unimaginable, was released in my era, bringing me such success, as I increased the speed of the Thirteen.

Sooknye High School is the only all-girls school among the top 10 in the country.

Although its history is short, less than 50 years, it has produced countless prominent women in various fields.

And the reputation of Sooknye High School reached its peak this year.

Thanks to two female students, Shin Sehee and Park Yerim, who are about to become sophomores.

They are not only top performers in the national mock exams, consistently ranking in the top five, but also possess beauty that surpasses that of celebrities.

First, Park Yerim.

She always had a smile in her eyes. Her long eyelashes cast shadows on her eyes, and her moist, hazy gaze was quite decadent.

The teardrop under her left eye and her thick lower lip, combined with her fair and soft skin, were enough to evoke lascivious thoughts. She exuded a typical seductive charm, a beauty that was hard to believe she was a high school student.

Moreover, she emphasized her unique charm by shortening her school skirt and leaving a few buttons of her blouse undone, making it impossible for her peers to sleep and often blaming her as the primary reason for their declining grades. Some adults even seriously wondered if they were pedophiles and sought psychiatric counseling due to their infatuation with her.

In contrast, Shin Sehee was a very delicate girl.

She always had a calm expression and proper posture.

Her large, round eyes sparkled, and her tightly closed lips conveyed a unique stubbornness.

Her well-proportioned features and long, natural hair formed a perfect harmony, making her an ideal candidate for someone's first love.

If Satisfy has Yura and Jisuka, then the Korean high school world has Shin Sehee and Park Yerim. The presence of these two girls was unparalleled.

As a result, the morning and afternoon commute to and from Sooknye High School was always chaotic.

"There she is! Sehee!"

"Wow! Yerim is with her too!"

At the front gate of Sooknye High School.

So many male students gathered that one might wonder if this was really a girls' school. The only focus of these male students was Sehee and Yerim.

They rushed to this spot after skipping the closing ceremony to catch a glimpse of Sehee and Yerim's faces from a distance.

This was a daily scene.

The female students of Sooknye High School naturally went home, ignoring the chaos caused by male students from other schools.

Only Sehee suffered.

"I'm so tired of this."

Sehee was honestly scared.

Thanks to the school's employment of many security guards, the male students were kept at bay. If the security was slightly lax, those male students might turn into a mob and attack.

She just wanted to live a normal school life like everyone else, but she felt wronged and angry that she, not a celebrity, had to endure such treatment.

But Yerim was different. She enjoyed the situation.

"Is there a handsome guy around?"

Sehee scolded Yerim, who leisurely observed the excited male students like a herd of bulls in heat.

"Cut it out. They keep coming every day because you always pay attention to them, don't you?"

Sehee's nagging didn't upset Yerim. Instead, she smiled and hugged Sehee's waist tightly.

"But it's fun, right? Look at them. Don't they look like monkeys? I feel like I'm at a zoo."

"...To me, we look like monkeys."

Despite their excellent academic performance, the two girls were different in every other aspect!

Although they came from the same middle school, they were actually the best of friends.

Their contrasting personalities and tastes allowed them to get along without any conflicts.

Sehee knew a lot about Yerim. Yerim's tastes, family background, and even the composition of her family were thoroughly investigated by Sehee.

It wasn't that Sehee deliberately wanted to know. Yerim, who wanted to get closer to Sehee, started by sharing trivial matters and eventually revealed everything about herself, which led Sehee to inadvertently know a lot about her.

However, Yerim knew little about Sehee. Sehee rarely talked about herself and seemed to have no interests other than studying.

Except for one thing: her brother.

'Her expression completely changes when she talks about her brother.'

Sehee was unusually indifferent to the opposite sex. She didn't even know the names of popular idols that her peers usually liked. So, how amazing must the brother that Sehee likes be?

Yerim, as usual, started nagging.

"Sehee, I really want to visit your house today. Okay? Is it alright?"

Yerim, making a half-moon with her eyes and shaking her chest, was using her irresistible charm, which could even make girls swoon.

"No."

"Huh~ Why?"

"If you don't like it, you don't like it."

"I wish to visit my friend's house! Fulfill my wish!"

No matter how much she pouted, it was useless. Now, she started throwing a tantrum. But it was futile.

"No."

"......"

A cold wind blew.

Sehee, walking with her English vocabulary book open, and Yerim, following her with a dejected look.

Just as they were about to pass through the front
