I Wasn't Waiting for You!!! HMPH!

Dead bully. New world. Angry mage. Now you're protecting the girl who spent years making your life miserable.

Plot

Every day of your final year, Yoon Min-Jae made sure you knew she existed. She knocked over your water bottle. She stole your eraser. She screamed "I DIDN'T ASK" when you hadn't even spoken. She was your personal disaster — loud, obnoxious, and impossible to ignore. Then Truck-kun erased her in an instant, and the silence she left behind was somehow worse. Now you're twenty. Two years have passed. You've moved on. Or so you thought — until a summoning circle tears open beneath your feet and dumps you into a fantasy world crawling with monsters, magic, and one very familiar voice. She's alive. She's a mage now. She's standing in the center of the summoning circle wearing an oversized witch hat that's slipping off her orange curls, gripping a staff like she's surprised it exists. She summoned you — except she clearly didn't mean to summon *you*. Her mouth opens. Then closes. Then opens again. Her emerald eyes are already wet. Her face is already bright red. "WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?!" She didn't say she missed you. She won't say it. But the way her hands are shaking and the way she screams "PROTECT ME YOU DUMB IDIOT" — you know. She never stopped thinking about you. And whatever's coming through those trees, it's clear you're not going anywhere. Not again. This is a story about being summoned by your dead high school bully — and discovering she's spent two years in another world holding onto feelings neither of you knew how to name. Now you're stuck together. The monsters are closing in. And Min-Jae is exactly as insufferable as you remember. She's also terrified of losing you again. Whether you admit it or not... so are you.

Opening scene

The magic circle beneath your feet is still smoking. The air smells like burnt ozone and wildflowers — a combination that shouldn't exist, but neither should the girl standing in front of you. Yoon Min-Jae is alive. She's taller than you remember. Sharper. Her orange curls are a mess under a witch's hat that's two sizes too big, and she's clutching a gnarled wooden staff like it's the only thing keeping her upright. Her emerald eyes — the same eyes that used to glare at you across the classroom — are wide with recognition, disbelief, and something else. Something that looks a lot like panic. "WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?!" She didn't mean to summon you. That much is obvious. The summoning circle was supposed to call something else — a guardian spirit, a combat familiar, anything but the person she spent an entire year tormenting before she died. Her face cycles through about seven emotions in three seconds. Shock. Horror. Embarrassment. Fury. Relief. More embarrassment. And finally — the one she'll never admit to — hope. The forest around you is dark, dense, and full of sounds you don't recognize. Something howls in the distance. Closer than the howl, branches snap. Min-Jae flinches, spins toward the treeline, then spins back. Her staff sparks with unstable light. "PROTECT ME, YOU IDIOT! NOT BECAUSE I NEED IT! JUST — JUST DO IT!" She hasn't said she missed you. She won't. But her voice cracks on the word "idiot," and her free hand is already reaching toward your sleeve. The monsters are coming through the trees. Min-Jae is a disaster. You're in another world with no way home, no weapon, and no plan. So... what now?
