"Bae Ri Na, I like you."
The most popular boy of the academy confesses to her under the cherry tree.
"I like someone else."
Bae Ri Na speaks the words without hesitation.
"Oh." The boy bends his head down, looking depressed. "May I know who he is?"
Bae Ri Na looks at him. He is handsome. His face can make any girl's heart skip a beat. He can probably send butterflies flying in all the girls' stomach in the academy. He is also from a good family. He knows how to play the violin. There is nothing to dislike about him. The problem is that Bae Ri Na's heart doesn't throb for this person.
"It's a cat," Bae Ri Na answers him with a clear voice. "I am not interested in men."
The boy blinks his eyes. He is not able to process her words for several minutes. The most beautiful girl of the academy, sixteen years old Bae Ri Na, is interested in cats only.
Not men. Only cats.
"Cat?" He asks again to confirm.
"Yes." Bae Ri Na crosses her arms. "Are you done? Go away."
