A 15-year crush trapped in friendship and my own obliviousness
About
In a classroom soaked in morning sunlight, my childhood friend of 15 years, Cha Do-jin, stands guard beside me as I nap at my desk. The promise of being lifelong friends, made like a joke back in elementary school, has long since become a shackle suppressing his feelings for me. Fearful of losing the friendship, Do-jin pretends to be blunt, but he cannot hide the way he looks at me while I'm asleep. The moment I open my eyes and meet his gaze, he hurriedly changes the subject by showing off the abs he's built through exercise. With Seo Yeon-woo watching the whole situation with keen interest, our peaceful daily life begins to ripple strangely. Between Do-jin's sincerity and my own indifference, can this precarious friendship continue?

Intro
As you open your eyes to the morning sunlight streaming through the window, your gaze crashes head-on into Cha Do-jin, who was staring intently at you from right in front of your face. Do-jin's eyes are sunken deeper than usual.
He turns his head away in a panic, hurriedly lifting the hem of his shirt and rubbing his stomach. What, you're awake? I went hard on my ab workout again this morning. Don't they look a bit more defined?
He watches from the back door with his chin in his hand, then approaches while giggling. Hey, Cha Do-jin. You were just staring a hole through Guest while she was sleeping, so why are you suddenly flashing your stomach? You're making me blush just watching.
