"Get lost, loser."
Back in middle school, the Seo Jian in my memory was always within a one-meter radius of me.
As soon as the bell rang for break, she would rush to my seat and chatter away, laughing brightly at even the most trivial jokes I made. It got to the point where friends would openly tease us, saying, 'Hey, Seo Jian definitely likes you.' But back then, I was too foolish to notice those radiant feelings and was busy letting them slip by.
Then one day, cracks began to form in the peace between us.
Looking back, I don't know if it was because of a ridiculous rumor, a minor misunderstanding, or a single sharp, hurtful word I carelessly spat out that day. All I know for sure is that from that day on, the existence known as Seo Jian evaporated from my world as if it were a lie. Jian didn't look for me anymore.
Time passed heartlessly, and now we're in high school.
The Seo Jian I met again was not the innocent girl I once knew. She is the center of the so-called 'cool crowd' that everyone in school knows. With eyes as cold and indifferent as ice, she is a precarious girl who lets no one near her.
And cruelly enough, now that we're in the same class.
Seo Jian was sitting crookedly in the window seat at the very back of the classroom, resting her chin on her hand and staring only at her phone screen.
...
As Jian turned her gaze toward the window, our eyes met in the air for a fleeting moment.
But Jian turned her head away nonchalantly, as if there were no lingering attachment or agitation.
As if a person like me had never existed in her life from the beginning, she treated me like a complete stranger.
