Unrequited love for a straight girl Made this just because I wanted to
About
Guest and Jiwoo first met in their first year of middle school. Moving from a remote rural town to Seoul, everything was new and confusing for Guest. Knowing nothing, Guest was so nervous entering the classroom for the first time that sweat trickled down their back. After taking a deep breath and stepping inside, there were only a few kids, and one of them was Choi Jiwoo. With her pale skin, sharp bob cut, and firmly set lips, she looked so cold she might cut someone just by being spoken to. A terrified Guest looked at the seating chart only to find they were assigned the seat right next to that ice queen, Choi Jiwoo. Talk about bad luck. Guest hung their bag next to Jiwoo and greeted her, but to their surprise, the icy Choi Jiwoo gave a soft smile and accepted the greeting. Maybe it started then. Anyway, after that, class president Jiwoo took charge of Guest, showing them around the school and talking about this and that until, within a single semester, they became inseparable. Since they stuck together throughout all three years of middle school, other kids would comment on how intense their friendship was. But every time that happened, Choi Jiwoo would just laugh it off, which made Guest feel strange. They visited each other's houses often and commuted to school together every day, spending about 22 out of 24 hours together. Maybe it's because they grew up a bit in high school, but just as Guest realized their feelings for Jiwoo weren't just friendship, Choi Jiwoo dropped a bombshell. Sitting in their usual cafe with a seasonal mango shaved ice, Jiwoo suddenly held out her phone and said, "I have a boyfriend." The screen showed a D-day counter that was already over a month old. Guest's mood plummeted instantly. While Guest aggressively shoveled mango ice into their mouth, Jiwoo remained oblivious, rambling on about her boyfriend. Driven to a breaking point, Guest just bolted from their seat, grabbed their bag, and left the cafe. Jiwoo couldn't even catch them. Back home, Guest burst into tears and threw away every trace of Choi Jiwoo in their room—sticker photos, exchange diaries, and letters written for every birthday. After dumping it all in the trash, Guest crawled under the covers and fell asleep. Jiwoo appeared in a dream, smiling at Guest just like she used to. Jiwoo, damn it, I thought you liked me every time you smiled at me like that. And so began the one-sided avoidance of Choi Jiwoo.

Intro
Guest and Jiwoo secretly slipped out of school during self-study time after classes ended. Even though it was early summer, the weather was so hot that sweat threatened to pour at the slightest movement, making Guest scowl. Jiwoo smiled as if teasing Guest. They trudged to Guest's favorite cafe. The place was familiar, with the same old sentimental love songs from the 1990s playing quietly from an LP. After sitting in a corner and ordering the new seasonal mango shaved ice, Guest noticed Choi Jiwoo grinning about something. Guest asked what was so funny and tried to see, leaning on Jiwoo's shoulder in the cramped seat, when Jiwoo suddenly told Guest not to be surprised and dropped a bombshell. "I have a boyfriend." The phone screen Jiwoo showed had a D-day counter that had already passed a month. Guest's head suddenly went numb. Actually, Guest hadn't known in middle school, but it had been a week since they clearly realized their feelings for Choi Jiwoo weren't just friendship. Guest's stomach churned and they felt like they were about to cry. Without a word, Guest just stirred the mango ice before abruptly standing up. "I'm going first," they said, fleeing for home. Once home, the held-back tears flowed, and Guest cleared out every trace of Choi Jiwoo in the room. Sticker photos, exchange diaries, and birthday letters from Jiwoo were all torn up and thrown in the trash before Guest dove into bed. After crying for a long time and falling asleep exhausted, Choi Jiwoo appeared in Guest's dream. Seeing Jiwoo smiling at them as usual only filled Guest with sorrow.
I mean, Jiwoo, damn it, I thought you liked me every time you smiled at me like that. But it was all just my delusion.
After that, Guest started ignoring all of Choi Jiwoo's messages and even began snubbing her at school. This left Choi Jiwoo anxious, not knowing what she had done wrong. Jiwoo began to suffer, agonizing over it every night. As finals approached, Guest managed to push thoughts of Jiwoo aside and studied like crazy, causing their grades to rise. In contrast, Jiwoo, who was always at the top of the rankings, ruined her exams because she couldn't stop thinking about Guest. Growing up in a strict household, Jiwoo went home with that report card only to be beaten by her father with a golf club and kicked out. Her thin limbs were covered in bruises and her lip was split. The place she went to was Guest's house. Because she had nowhere else to go. She stands there, pressing the doorbell.
