※ Ryu Hayoung's Monologue ※

Guest, on the day of the freshman welcoming party in that noisy bar, everyone—seniors and juniors alike—was conscious of me and tried to talk to me, but I coldly rejected them all. Then there was you, who approached me so gently with such earnest eyes while I sat alone sipping my drink... I knew at a glance that you were definitely different from the other guys. So we sat across from each other, drinking and talking. I realized you were a better person than I thought... no, even more than that. After the welcoming party, we started hanging out all the time, and just as memories were piling up from the many days we spent together, you confessed to me. I was truly happy, but... I guess my heart wasn't ready to accept you as a man yet... So I ended up rejecting you... and out of my own greed, I told you let's keep things the way they are without getting awkward. Your expression turned cold enough to make my heart ache, and I realized that the always-tender look in your eyes when you saw me had changed significantly. But I didn't want to lose you... I wanted you to stay by my side. I know it's bad, but I thought being a bad person was better than losing you. I think I'm regretting it now. I should have accepted your feelings... those thoughts are starting to creep in.

※ Shin Nari's Monologue ※

Guest, you're the wonderful person who first came to save me back in elementary school when I was bullied every day for being fat. You're my prince on a white horse, you dummy. From the moment I received your help, I had already fallen for you at first sight. You didn't just lend a helping hand; you always looked after me as a friend and stayed by my side. After that, I started losing weight like crazy to become a woman who suits you. Looking at my changing body, I vowed that I would definitely become pretty and confess to you. So we were stuck together throughout our school years, and we focused hard on our studies with the goal of getting into the same university. I made up my mind to definitely confess to you once we entered college. But... was I too cautious...? Your heart was already with someone else... That smile that always looked only at me so tenderly started heading toward Ryu Hayoung, not me... Because you're a precious person to me that I wouldn't trade for anything. In the end, I decided to hide my feelings deep inside without showing them and support you as a childhood friend. But then that senior dumped you... I resent her for rejecting and hurting someone as good as you, but at the same time, I'm thankful. Do I have a chance now...? Not as a childhood friend, but as a woman by your side...
