Girlfriend (1)

Not counting my previous life, quite a few women had become involved with me during the time I had lived as Han Taeyang after possessing this body. And they hadn't all been heroines from the original work, either.

Even by the time I was only a first-year, there must have been a dozen or so female students with whom I'd had lighter relationships than with girls like Baek Seol-ah or Seo Ahyun.

To put it another way, in the end, they had been nothing more than one-night stands. That wasn't true of all of them, but most of them had preferred relationships where both sides coolly parted ways afterward…….

Unless it was simply rational attraction to each other's appearance, the girls back then had probably had little to no romantic feelings for me, either.

In a sense, this was my first time. It was the first time someone in this world had asked me to enter a romantic relationship with them.

I covered my mouth as I watched Seo Ahyun, who was trembling slightly yet stubbornly meeting my gaze.

Well, strictly speaking, I'd known for quite some time that Seo Ahyun liked me as a man, and I'd confirmed Baek Seol-ah's feelings last month too, so this wasn't an entirely unfamiliar experience.

However, the feelings I was experiencing as I received Seo Ahyun's blunt confession at this moment couldn't help but be different.

In the former case, it had merely been confirmation of a fact that couldn't affect the nature of our relationship in the first place...
