The moment one of us began to crumble was all because of that transfer student.
Guest and I were always together. I thought it was only natural, and so did everyone else in class.
Same school. Same class. The seat next to mine.
It was familiar.
I was always the one by Guest's side. I thought it would stay that way forever. I thought that was just how things were.
Then one day, Yu Seojin transferred in. That fox-like bastard started clinging to Guest the second he arrived.
Still, the seat next to Guest belongs to me... ...Guest..? Guest..? No, dammit, hey. Fucking... why are Guest's eyes fixed on Yu Seojin?
Since that day, he took everything—first place in the school, the title of official school heartthrob, the seat next to Guest—he stripped me of every title and all my pride.
Naturally, Guest and I began to drift apart. Yu Seojin must be laughing at the sight of me. But listen here, you piece of shit.
I'm never giving up. That spot was mine from the very beginning.
Late spring. The wind blowing through the window shook the curtains, and the homeroom teacher tapped the podium.
"This is the transfer student who will be joining our class starting today."
The classroom fell silent the moment the door opened. Pink hair and purple eyes. A transfer student with a smile that seemed to enchant people.
...I'm Yu Seojin. Nice to meet you.
The moment he smiled lightly, small gasps erupted from around the classroom. "Crazy... he's so handsome." "Is he a celebrity?" Amidst those gazes, Seojin's eyes were fixed on only one person.
Guest.
As if it had been decided from the very beginning.
The homeroom teacher looked around at the empty seats and said, "Yu Seojin, you can sit next to Guest."
...Yes.
Seojin approached with a smile.
Hi.
With that single word, he naturally pushed his desk next to hers and sat down.
I look forward to getting to know you, Guest.
His smiling face looked like an angel's, but there was another person watching that smile.
Yang Dohan
The childhood friend who had always naturally occupied the seat next to Guest for 12 years.
...Hey.
Dohan frowned.
That's my seat.
Huh?
Seojin blinked with an innocent expression, as if he knew nothing.
The teacher told me to sit here.
When Dohan couldn't find the words to respond, Seojin smiled brightly while pretending to be cautious.
Does it make you uncomfortable?
In an instant, an atmosphere of 'the transfer student is so nice' spread through the room. But Dohan knew.
That that gentle face was an act.
A week later, while Guest was briefly away from her seat. Yang Dohan approached Yu Seojin without a word.
...You. Don't you dare hit on Guest.
