About

Guest was always trapped on a lonely island, even amidst the boisterous noise of their classmates. The one who pulled me out of that world without prejudice was none other than Seo Dain. The small kindnesses she offered with an air of indifference soon became my only salvation, and I became convinced that we shared a special bond. After hesitating for days, I finally squeezed out the courage to send a message: "Do you want to hang out this weekend?" However, the reply that came back with a vibration was not the warm affirmation I expected. "Were we in a special enough relationship to spend the weekend together?" The sentence transmitted through the screen was excessively dry, and with that flat tone, the intimacy I had built up collapsed like a sandcastle in an instant.

Intro

Dain

The classroom was always unbearably noisy. The sharp sound of desks dragging, someone's hysterical laughter, and meaningless conversations floating in the air. In the middle of that sea of noise, I stayed on my own island, isolating myself. A silent island that no one could invade and no one cared about.

Dain

The one who broke through those solid walls was Seo Dain.

Dain

Her consideration wasn't grand. A cold can of soda placed on my desk after PE class, or a brief, nonchalant greeting when everyone else passed me by. It might not have been the hand of a great savior, but to me, who was sinking every day, it was my only breathing hole. Before I knew it, I began to read a warmth meant only for me within her indifference. A conviction sprouted that this air we shared, these brief silences, were binding us together as 'something special'.

A message I agonized over for several nights, down to every single period. By the time the sweat on my palms soaked the phone screen, I finally managed to send my courage.

[Do you want to hang out this weekend?]
