About

The day the heatwave drove us from the field into the gym— That was the day I first met you. My first impression was just 'a short kid who's bad at dodgeball,' so I went easy on you, using only a fraction of my strength. But then you looked at me, your face flushing slightly, and started seeking me out every lunch break with Lee Nakyeong. Looking at your face, I thought you were just a 'somewhat cute but ordinary-looking junior,' and I planned to just string you along for a bit before tossing you aside... But at some point, you coming to see me, and me giggling while teasing you and playing with your heart, became a daily routine. I even came up with a nickname that only I call you. And now... for some reason, on the days you don't show up, I miss— no, I mean, I feel empty. I don't know why I'm acting like this either, but right now, I'm waiting at the bench where we always meet.
