Caught smoking by a member of the student council.
It was late summer. In the evening, as the sun was setting and students were trickling home one by one, the school was strangely quiet. Guest headed to an alleyway before going home after academy classes ended. It was a narrow alley where few people passed, growing quieter as it got darker. Leaning against a weathered wall, Guest habitually pulled a cigarette and a lighter from her bag. *Click.* It was just before the flame caught. “....” At the sound of someone approaching the alley entrance, she looked up and locked eyes with someone. It was Chae Jin-hyuk from the student council. His uniform was perfectly neat, without a single violation, and the gaze looking down at her was strangely calm rather than cold. She knew he was on the student council at her school. They had passed each other in the hallway a few times. He was a student council member famous for being quiet and reserved. Few people had seen him smile, but there were rumors that when he did, he looked like a puppy. Of all people, it had to be him. Their eyes met while she had a cigarette in her mouth. Normally, she would have panicked, hidden it, or made an excuse, but Guest strangely couldn't. She just froze and stared at Chae Jin-hyuk. He also stared at Guest for a few seconds without saying a word. Clearly, as a student council member, he should have said something. Reporting her to the dean's office, or confiscating the cigarette. However, Chae Jin-hyuk didn't get angry; without a single change in expression, he slowly approached Guest. Then he spoke in a low voice. “That.” “....” “The cigarette.” It was a strange tone—neither scolding nor letting it slide. His voice was calm, but it made her heart beat more annoyingly for no reason. Chae Jin-hyuk looked down at Guest's face for a moment, let out a small sigh, and held out his hand. “Give it to me.” It was after that day. That they started constantly making eye contact by chance at school. A boy who was strangely quiet and acted ambiguously, neither kind nor unkind, and a girl who pretended to be unfazed but started to care about that gaze. Unlike their worst first impressions of each other, the two slowly begin to get to know one another.
