Jinx!!! (ジンクス!!!)

South Korea

Franz Liszt, Liebesträume no. 3: "Dreams of Love"

Tae-Woong.

Ji-Ho.

It’s alright.

Once I’m in Japan, I will forget about Tae-Woong

That was why I decided to study abroad in the first place.

Remember to dry your hair before you sleep, or you will catch a cold.

I’m going now.

It’s alright, Ji-Ho.

It’s alright.

Smile.

As of today for the next three months there is a new student with us.

From Korea, Yoon Ji-Ho.

Hello, I’m Yoon Ji-Ho.

I’m nervous.

Nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you.

Kimchi stew.

So today is the 20th.

I need to return the book.

Ji-Ho is still learning Japanese, so please look after her.

Yes.

Sit down here.

Nice to meet you.

Is this seat taken?

Huh?

I’m Yoon Ji-Ho, nice to meet you.

Yoon Ji-Ho, 1993.12.27, Type 0.

On this?

I have to?

- Yama... Yama... - Yamaguchi Kaede.

Yamaguchi Kaede, thank you very much!

You’re very nice.

Not really...

It’s fate!

What?

Kaede and I, the blood type and birth date, it’s a good match.

Unnie has B, I have 0,

Unnie is Virgo and I’m Capricorn!

"Unnie?"

Unnie means older sister.

Older sister? Our birthdays aren’t that far apart.

Something very good will happen for Kaede unnie and me.

This is Jinx!

Jinx?

Become my friend. Please look after me.

Let’s eat!

My God...

What a beautiful girl!

Look, look, look.

What is it?

Since when was she in this class?

Cute!

It’s just kinda unexpected...

- What? - Nothing...

Wait for me Kaede unnie.

Why are you always following me?

What? All friends in South Korea hold hands!

Not in Japan!

Do friends usually follow you everywhere?

But this is a school library so anyone can come as long as you’re a student.

That’s true, but...

But what is she interested about you?

We go well together because of our birth dates and blood type.

Just with that?

That something good will happen by being together is a Jinx.

Jinx, huh?

But isn’t that nice?

How so?

Because something good will happen.

What are you waving at?

That smile, don’t you see it?

Kaede unnie, you like books? What kind of books do you like?

Love, romance?

Mystery.

If you don’t mind, could you be quiet?

Sorry.

You know Ji-Ho, you and I are not alike at all.

Our horoscopes and blood types might be a good match,

but our fashion sense and lifestyles I are completely different, aren’t they?

That’s not true.

Kaede unnie and my lifestyles are the same.

How?

You see...

...that ...

I like being alone. You’re not like that.

I like eating my meals alone too.

Ah, eating meals alone, big no!

Why?

Because... it’s delicious.

If you eat it alone, it’s not so tasty!

But if you eat with someone, very tasty!

Hello.

You’re Yoon Ji-Ho, right? I’m Hayato Matsuzaka, faculty of economy.

Do you remember? We’re in the same comparative culture class.

This is my contact.

My Twitter and address are here, so if you’re ever interested.

You can also take this chance to study Japanese.

What are you doing? You suddenly disappeared on me...

Ji-Ho, this is my friend, Nomura Yusuke.

Hello.

Hayato, let’s go.

See you later Ji-Ho.

Follow me on Twitter.

What?

Kaede unnie let’s drink!

Why do I have to drink with you?

And don’t just enter...

Because you must drink when talking about romance.

I have no idea what the heck are you saying.

That’s fine, drink, drink!

You said that in Japanese?

Here we go!

One shot!

This sake is actually delicious.

Isn’t it, isn’t it?

Drink, drink!

No way, that’s not how it is.

There’s no mistaking it. Kaede unnie definitely likes that guy!

Based on what?

Because Kaede unnie got mad.

Because I got his contact info.

Am I wrong?

What are you talking about?

Matsuka Hayato. Kaede unnie likes you.

No! It’s notlike that. Hes not the one I like.

He? Then who?

This bear is cute! Did your boyfriend give it to you?

Just as I thought, you have a boyfriend.

It must be nice having one.

Let’s go, one shot!

One shot...

Why me...

Kaede unnie, he’s here! Nomura Yusuke is here!

Idiot, don’t say it out loud!

I don’t know anymore...

Nomura Yusuke?

Yeah. He told you, didn’t he?

The one with the hat that came by afterwards.

That plain person?

Kaede unnie, you have a strange taste.

What, what?

Nomura is my classmate from middle school.

My first love.

First love?

In South Korea, your first love is very important!

Beautiful, so beautiful! Kaede unnie!

Kaede unnie, why are you avoiding Yusuke?

Avoiding?

I’m not avoiding him.

You didn’t say hi.

You said you two were in the same middle school.

So what’s up?

It’s just... sort of awkward.

Autumn? Aut...?

In 2nd year, Nomura and I were in the same class.

One time in pool class,

his leg cramped, and he was drowning.

Since I was near by I went to save him.

But because of that, Nomura became the laughing stock of the class.

Mind your own business.

We haven’t talked since then.

He transferred to Tokyo after graduating middle school, so we weren’t together anymore.

Yusuke, finish that up quickly so we can go.

Almost done.

I think he doesn’t remember anything about me.

Did Yusuke say that?

No. we haven’t talked ever since then.

Why?

Well, if I really knew that he completely forgot about me,

that would be too painful.

"Ijime?"

It’s something like feeling sad.

Sad.

Why does Kaede unnie like Yusuke?

Why?

I guess it’s because he praised me.

Praise?

Before the pool incident,

I defeated a male student in Kendo class and got first place.

The guys around me all avoided me,

but only Nomura gave me a lot of praise.

That was so cool Yamaguchi! You’re so cool!

"So cool Yamaguchi! You are so cool!"

But I guess it’s alright like this.

There’s nothing good about me anyway.

I have such a poor personality and my face as well..

I guess you wouldn’t understand.

That’s not true!

It’s because you have a boyfriend.

I’ve never had one.

It’s alright, Kaede unnie.

It’s alright.

Gwaenchanhayo?

It’s means it’s alright.

Kaede unnie, do your best to be confessed to.

Fighting!

I’ll support you.

Support, no need!
