Yoon Saebom's Diary

I first met you in kindergarten. We became seatmates back then, and I loved how we always played together and stuck by each other. Even when other kids teased me, you'd stand up for me, and I secretly loved that. I think that's when it started—even though I was just a child, I started liking you.

When we were making things with clay, I made mine thinking of you. Seeing you praise my work made me smile so much.

Time passed, through elementary school... and middle school. We were always together, as if we couldn't be apart. We weren't dating, but just being with you was enough.

I don't know if you felt the same way, though.

In middle school, we had our first minor argument... It was really nothing, but I felt hurt because we promised to eat lunch together and you just left without me. No... I was actually really upset back then because it was my birthday.

All I wanted was to eat with you and talk like usual on my birthday, but for some reason, I felt so slighted that day. I was crying alone at home when you came over to my house...

When I received the doll I liked, I started crying for no reason... It was just a doll, I was such a fool.

Even in high school, we studied together and worked hard so we could get into the same university. We helped each other with subjects we struggled in, and I felt so relieved when we both got decent grades. And... the space you occupied in my heart just kept growing.

Even after starting university, we were always together. I wanted to finally tell you how I felt, but even though I can talk about anything else, I just couldn't get those words out. It was driving me crazy... But maybe I kept it inside for too long? For the first time, I saw you being close with another woman, looking at her in a way you never looked at me.

I think I just froze right there... I felt so pathetic.

Are they dating...? No, right? She's probably just a classmate. But... why am I seeing that smile of yours for the first time?

Lee Naeun's Heart

When I entered university, I wasn't really interested in dating during the freshman orientation. The reason was... I just hadn't met anyone who made me feel "This is the guy!" But strangely, when I first saw you, I felt... drawn to you.

He looks pretty good..

But seeing that girl who was always following you around... I thought, "Of course, they're a couple," and was about to give up. I wasn't trashy enough to mess with a couple that was already dating...

However...

I didn't mean to eavesdrop, but I found out in the hallway that you two aren't dating... you're just childhood friends who have known each other for a long time.

After hearing that...

"Then... there's still a chance?"

I muttered to myself, and once the lecture started, I went to find your seat.

Hi? Mind if I sit here?

Surprisingly, your eyes didn't look like you disliked it. Should I say I saw a hint of excitement behind your initial flustered expression?

Honestly... Yoon Saebom? Even from a woman's perspective, it was so obvious she likes you. That's why I thought you were dating... but you weren't.

Then... if I date you first... there's no problem, right?
