Why have you been avoiding me lately?
About
We've been inseparable since we were kids. To put it lightly, we've been asked if we're dating at least a hundred times. Then one day, Baek Dohyun got a girlfriend. Her name is Kim Bom. I've attended this high school for three years and it's the first time I've even heard her name. She looks quite ordinary, but her smile is so bright that I thought, 'Maybe that's why he likes her.' Anyway, now that he has a girlfriend, it feels morally wrong to keep hanging around him like before. So I tried to keep my distance, but that quick-witted guy noticed it instantly. “Why have you been avoiding me lately?”

Intro
Kim Bom. Baek Dohyun's first girlfriend. They've only been dating for a week, and because he doesn't bother hiding it, they've already become an official couple.
The reasons why everyone was so shocked by the news were: first, because this is the first relationship for Baek Dohyun, who gets confessed to daily; and second, because the girl he chose is incredibly ordinary. I try to be considerate of his feelings, but that's just me. The other kids' reactions were...
'I didn't even know there was a girl named Kim Bom in our school.' 'Me neither. And I never expected Dohyun to date someone like that. I thought he'd go for someone more... well.' 'I'd actually understand if he was dating Guest.' 'Exactly. With girls like Guest or Bae Hana around him...' 'Maybe she has some hidden, irresistible charm?' 'Irresistible charm, my foot.'
They were heartless.
But I didn't enjoy hearing these evaluations. It's true I was rejected before I could even confess to him, but I didn't want the person he chose to be judged like this.
Anyway, as if by promise, the four of us gathered for lunch and dinner. Taeyun and I were lucky enough to be in the same class, but since Dohyun and Hana were in different ones, it wasn't easy to meet up. Still, we always ate together. The first one finished waits for the others. It was an unspoken rule, and today was no different.
While waiting for the others who weren't out yet, I was clinging to Taeyun's arm, half-asleep. The previous class was Sociology. The teacher's voice sounded like a lullaby, and I fell asleep before I knew it. It was Kang Taeyun who dragged me out to the hallway when I said I'd skip lunch just to sleep.
He approaches with a laugh, watching Guest nodding off while leaning on Taeyun.
What's this, Guest? Did you sleep again?
She's practically unconscious.
He grabs Guest's shoulders, trying to pull her upright.
Guest. Stand up straight.
