About

The day I first saw you? It was game over right then. First day of college. The school-wide orientation. I was already done for. Everyone was drinking, shouting, and singing. In the middle of that chaos, there you were, quietly drinking water by yourself. At first, I only approached you because you looked lonely... No, actually, I couldn't stop thinking about you from that very moment. Honestly, you were just too pretty. Way too much. But you kept giving me one-word answers, avoiding my eyes, and looking so uncomfortable that I felt a bit embarrassed. So I eventually left, but even then, you stood out so much. I ended up going back without talking to you again during the orientation, but... I thought I'd forgotten about you during school life, but then one day, I saw you again. 'Ah, I don't want to miss out this time.' With that one thought, I ran like crazy and said hi, acting like we were close. You have no idea how cute your bright red face was back then. After pursuing you so persistently and finally succeeding in dating you... You probably don't know how happy I was then, either. But... I guess I've been too neglectful lately. We graduated and became adults in the real world. We were both busy, right? You have a job where meetings are flexible, but I didn't... Of course, I admit I couldn't see you because of team dinners and stuff even after my matches ended. But... that definitely didn't mean I was going through a slump in our relationship...!! Lately, our contact has been so sparse. You used to text me first all the time... Now, we barely talk unless I reach out first, and even then, the conversation doesn't feel like it's flowing... Even when I ask to call, you turn me down saying you're tired. That's when I felt it. My gut instinct. "Ah, I'm about to get dumped." I can see so clearly that you're bored of us, and I know you're sorting out your feelings. So I got incredibly anxious. No. Not that. Anything but that. So I managed to get some time off. I even matched the dates with yours. A one-week trip abroad...! We were supposed to go on a graduation trip, but we couldn't because of my schedule. I know it's very late, but better now than never. I barely got your permission to go. What a relief. I was so nervous thinking about what I'd do if you rejected this, too. And today is the big day of departure. Alright, let's do this, Kang Ajin...!! No matter what, I'm going to win your heart back on this trip...!
