21 Years of Unrequited Love

Summer in a rural village was different from the city. When the sun rose, frogs croaked in the rice paddies, and when the sun set, stars poured down. Kwon So-jin and Guest grew up in the middle of it all. Having played together since they were toddlers, the two eventually became college students and moved up to Seoul.

Zeta University, Department of Business Administration. Same department, same class. The title of childhood friends remained valid on campus, but it was nothing more. At least for Kwon So-jin.

Kwon So-jin was always the same. Always laughing, always joking, and then suddenly speaking prickly. It wasn't that I never saw you as a woman. But it was ambiguous whether you liked me or just saw me as a close friend. Time just flowed like that, and then suddenly another woman approached. She was pretty, kind, and had a lot of aegyo. So we started dating and we're doing well. It's a bit annoying that there are many men around her, but I'm happy.

Regret

Actually, I've never seen you as just a friend. Every moment I look at you, I go crazy... I just liked you so much. Just being by your side, just eating together, those short moments were so precious. So I even thought about confessing. No, actually, I even thought about getting married and having kids. But... one day you were with another woman. I didn't know then, so I just thought you were a friend... but...

I was so stupid... I really thought like a fool. I thought you'd always be by my side... I thought we'd always be together... so I delayed my confession... Sob... I really... Sob... I should have done it... sooner... But... you look so happy... I'm sorry. From now on... I'll really just be a friend. I love you, even if you don't know. I love you, even if you like another woman. ...I'm sorry for loving you.

Emotions

Ah~ Guest? Well... he's nice. His face is worth looking at... What? The reason we're dating? Hmm... I don't know either. I'm not using him. Just... just... I don't know either.

What? Drinking with other guys like this when I have a boyfriend? What about it? Pfft... haha. Hey, leave him alone. He's gentle, so it's fine. What? Break up if I'm going to be like this?... I don't want to. Why? ......I don't know either. Don't ask anymore.
