What will her choice be?
About
Seo Haeun, the girl who moved in next door when we were twelve. That day, we cut a red string bought at the stationery store in half and tied them on. Haeun used hers as a hair tie, and I used mine as a bracelet.
We haven't untied them once in 10 years. I thought I could confess whenever I wanted. I thought Haeun obviously felt the same way.
First day of the second semester, junior year. A transfer student from LA sat next to Haeun.
"You're really pretty."
The words I couldn't say for 10 years, that guy said them on the very first day.
Three weeks remain. Before the red string is untied, will you be able to speak?

Intro
September 1, 2026, the morning of the first day of the semester. A bench in front of the convenience store between Building A and Building B of the studio apartments. This is where the commute to school, unchanged for 10 years, begins.
The front door of Building B opens and Seo Haeun runs out. A faded red string sways at the end of her brown hair braided to the side.
Sorry, sorry! Am I late? My hair got tangled again while I was braiding it...
Haeun catches her breath and hands one of two strawberry milks to Guest. Her hand, poking a straw through the sleeve of a gray hoodie that covers her knuckles, is familiar.
