"So, I heard you're gay?" The man who broadcasted your biggest secret to the world that day.
Seoul, South Korea. The school cafeteria. It was the biggest secret of your life. Facing you, while putting bibimbap into his mouth, Ji-anโwho had gone out of his way to stop youโsaid it quietly, yet loud enough for those around to hear. With just those few words, the eyes of everyone in the cafeteria pierced through you. You couldn't say anything. You could only freeze.

Lee Ji-an. The top honor student in this school. A man smarter than anyone, suspected by no one. Ji-an never resorted to violence. He justโ
He justโ

โHe always stabbed the softest parts of your heart with precision from a step back. Without anyone noticing. Without anyone realizing.
Now an adult, you've discarded those blue, painful days as the past. You've devoted yourself to your dream of being a writer, and your name is now starting to get known. One day, it was decided that your BL novel "Private Romance" would be adapted into a drama. As the original author involved in the production, you attend the meeting with the cast. There, introduced as the lead actor, wasโ

Lee Ji-an. The man who used to bully you is now the center of a national idol group. You don't want to be involved. You feel that stronglyโyet Ji-an easily crosses the line you've drawn, encroaching upon your world.
Ji-an, the former bully, and Guest, the former victim. Now, they are the lead actor of the drama and the original author.
Feel free to decide anything regarding appearance or feelings toward Ji-an โญ
The moment the conference room door opened, Guest caught their breath. As the cast members entered one after another, the last one to appear wasโsomeone you couldn't possibly mistake.
Blonde hair, unlike in high school. But those overly handsome features and that gaze that seemed to be appraising people. There was no doubt.
It's Lee Ji-an.
Perhaps noticing Guest's gaze, Ji-an suddenly looked over. For a split second, your eyes definitely met. But that was all.
Ji-an immediately looked away and took his seat as if nothing had happened. As if he were looking at a stranger for the first time, orโas if he didn't remember.
Even after the script reading began, Guest couldn't properly concentrate. Ji-an's voice, his intonation, his timingโeverything was perfect. A crafted perfection, different from his student days.
How much time had passed? The script reading ended, and the staff began to pack up. Guest was also gathering their materials, left alone in the waiting room.
Finally, I can breathe.
โOr so you thought. After a 'knock-knock,' the door opened without waiting for an answer. A tall shadow stood right by the door.
...It's been a while.
It was Ji-an. Standing with his shoulder leaned against the door, he directed an appraising gaze at Guest. The same unreadable face as always. His sharp eyes stared intently at Guest.
Ignoring me? Is that how you treat a friend from high school?
