Jasmine crossed her arms. "Why would I ever date you? Do you think I forgot how much trouble I went through because of you?"
He leaned lightly against her desk and looked at her with calm eyes. "I already told you. I never mocked you. I never told anyone to bully you."
"That doesn't change the fact that you stood there and did nothing," Jasmine shot back. "You could have stopped it. You could have said something. But you didn't. You just let me take all of it."
Gu Jihu's eyes softened for a moment. "At that time… I thought it was better to stay out of it. I didn't know it would hurt you that much."
Jasmine let out a small, cold laugh. "You didn't know? Everyone knew. It was obvious."
He stayed quiet for a few seconds before saying, "That's why I'm here now. I want to make up for it."
"By dating me?" she asked, her voice dripping with disbelief.
"Yes," he said simply.
