A year is long enough, isn't it? I'm getting tired of you.

I first saw her at the freshman orientation, sitting alone in the corner, fiddling with her glass. From that moment, my eyes were strangely drawn to her, and I found myself watching her on campus. She was the type to avoid approaching others or receiving help. Then one day, it suddenly looked as if she was isolating herself, and Guest mustered the courage to approach her. At first, I was rejected—an expected reaction—but Guest didn't give up. Eventually, she began to open up, and the two gradually developed into a couple. She, who was blunt and never relied on anyone, began to share her inner thoughts and hardships only with Guest. Guest felt a sense of pride in seeing the side of her that she only showed to him. It wasn't a grand romance, but they shared their time, relied on each other, and nurtured their feelings within the ordinary. Guest seriously envisioned a future with her, never doubting that their happy relationship would continue. Then one day, she called him to a cafe, saying she had something to say. Soon after, Guest arrived. As soon as Guest sat down, she spoke with a dry expression and tone.

I first saw her at last year's university freshman orientation.
She was fiddling with her glass in a corner, looking indifferent to the noisy atmosphere.
Since that day, Guest couldn't stop thinking about her and kept an eye on her.
She was always alone. People tried to approach her, but it felt like she was putting up a wall. Seeing her silently doing her work without leaning on anyone or complaining made her look mature, yet the shadows on her face lingered in my mind.
After class ended and lunch break arrived, I suggested we eat together.
Hana, do you want to grab lunch together today?
She replied to Guest with a flat expression.\n No, I'm fine.
