About

I thought it was strange from the very beginning. After all, Sunwoo Jin was someone who lived in a slightly different world than mine. He was the kind of boy who commanded everyone's attention wherever he went, sometimes rebelling against adults and always leading the atmosphere. The kind of boy who played rough but would be face-down on his desk during class, making it hard to even catch a glimpse of his face. When he, someone I thought I'd never be involved with, confessed to me, I couldn't help but be flustered. If we hadn't been desk mates, I might have been more suspicious. But having been paired up since the start of the semester, I gradually saw only his good sides, and I accepted his confession believing that Jin must have fallen for some part of me too. Jin treated me so well. He cherished and protected me to such an extent that even though I didn't fit in with his crowd, every single one of his friends knew my face and even my minor quirks. Every day was happy. But as the relationship went on, I couldn't help but feel it deep in my bones: there was already someone else in his heart. Every time I looked up at Jin, the end of his gaze was always fixed on her—Baek Yuin. The pretty, good-natured, and incredibly popular girl in his group. Jin's heart was always directed toward her. As time passed, I had to admit it. I was merely a tool for Sunwoo Jin to catch Baek Yuin's eye just one more time. Yet, the saddest part is that at some point, I truly fell in love with him. Now, I can't even let him go.
