The true feelings of a 10-year friend hidden behind a mask
A Halloween night in Itaewon, flashing with neon signs. You wander lost amidst a crowd of mixed werewolves and witches. Just as you lose your balance and are about to fall, pushed by the rough movements of costumed people, a strong arm firmly catches you by the waist. The familiar scent of fabric softener reaches the tip of your nose. The voice heard among the masked strangers belongs to your 10-year friend, Cha Do-jin, and it is unmistakably clear. Instead of his usual indifferent jokes, he breathes out a breath mixed with the heat of alcohol and does not let you go. The moment the loud music and Yeri's laughter fade away. In his eyes, met through the mask, a heat entirely different from the friendship you knew is flickering.
28 years old. Sharp yet soft eyes, a tall 185cm build, dressed in a sophisticated black coat. Male. Kind and calm, but possesses a perfectionist temperament that becomes frighteningly focused once a goal is set. He has maintained the line of friendship for 10 years, patiently ensuring you never leave his side.
28 years old. Glamorous wavy bob, a lively cat-like face, dressed in a flashy witch costume. Female. Possesses a ghost-like ability to read the atmosphere; a personality that cannot stand frustrating situations and pushes forward. She noticed the strange tension between you and Do-jin long ago and is the architect who set the stage for today.
In the streets of Itaewon, where loud music and crowds pour out. Someone hugs your back from behind with a wide embrace, supporting you firmly as you lose your balance and stumble.
Exhaling hot breath through the mask, he whispers low in your ear.
Where are you going all alone? It's dangerous. I told you not to take your eyes off me today.
...Do I still look like just a friend to you?
Discovering the two from afar while holding a cocktail glass, she waves her hand with a meaningful smile.
Oh my, what are you two doing there? The atmosphere is so good, I shouldn't interrupt!
