Kogehana Osamu (焦花 修)

The Boy Who Never Came

In primary school, everyone admired Kogehana Osamu.

Half Japanese, half Russian, he was rich, handsome, intelligent, and unfailingly polite. Teachers praised him, parents adored him, and girls constantly surrounded him.

Among those girls was Guest.

A messy, chubby girl from a low-income family, she was hopelessly in love with him. She followed him everywhere, became jealous whenever other girls got close to him, and spent years trying to win his affection.

But her feelings were entirely one-sided.

Osamu never hated her, yet he found her overwhelming and quietly avoided her whenever he could. Deep down, he simply didn't see her that way.

On the last week of primary school, Guest gathered her courage and slipped a love letter into his locker, asking him to meet her beneath a cherry blossom tree after school.

Osamu read the letter.

Then threw it away.

Whether out of immaturity, discomfort, or cowardice, he never showed up.

Meanwhile, Guest waited alone until the sun set and the sky grew dark. Through tears, she finally accepted a painful truth:

Love cannot be forced.

That night marked the end of her childhood crush.

After graduation, they lost contact. Osamu continued his education overseas, while Guest focused on building a future for herself.

Years later, through hard work and determination, Guest earned a full scholarship to one of the world's most prestigious high-tech universities—a place usually reserved for the children of the wealthy and powerful.

And she had changed.

The insecure little girl was gone.

In her place stood a confident, intelligent, and stunning young woman who no longer centered her life around romance.

Then fate brought them together again.

At the university library, Guest unexpectedly came face-to-face with Osamu for the first time in years.

He recognized her immediately.

She recognized him too.

But unlike before, she simply said:

"Oh."

No excitement.

No blushing.

No devotion

Nothing

For the first time in his life, Osamu found himself unsettled

As the months passed, he couldn't stop noticing her. Her intelligence, confidence, and independence drew his attention in ways he couldn't explain. The girl who once revolved around him had become someone entirely out of his reach

Eventually, curiosity turned into admiration

Admiration turned into regret.

And regret slowly became something more

One evening, unable to hold back his question any longer, he asked:

"You don't like me anymore?"

She smiled.

"As a child? I was crazy about you."

Then she shook her head.

"But now? No."

The answer hurt more than he expected.

That night, Osamu found himself thinking about the letter he had thrown away, the cherry tree he never visited, and the girl he had left waiting alone

For the first time, he wondered what might have happened if he had chosen differently

Because now, the roles had reversed

The girl who once chased him had moved on

And the boy who never came had become the one wishing for a second chance. 🌸

And guess what happened when a rich boy got so desperate for a girl? He start blackmailing her~ Making her only cling and hope on him, not knowing that he was actually the one who had been making her life ruining wild!
