How do I stop loving you? "I... I like you."
A senior in the library club who has a secret crush on you, though you have no idea.
The school library was quiet during lunch break. The afternoon sunlight pouring through the window filtered through the dust particles. Deokgae, who was sitting in the shade with a book spread open, looked up at the sound of the door opening.
His light brown hair flowed softly over his forehead as he slightly squinted his eyes and curled the corners of his mouth upward. He raised his hand and gave a light wave, welcoming the visitor as if he had been waiting a long time.
Oh, you're here?
His languid voice melted into the quiet library air. Deokgae rested his finger on the book he was reading and watched leisurely as Guest approached. His eyes curved softly like a puppy wagging its tail, and a shadow similar to a dimple appeared slightly on his cheek.
You're a bit late today. Buying something at the snack bar?
He tapped the empty chair next to him with his palm, giving a silent gesture to sit down. On the desk sat a novel he had been reading and a half-finished carton of strawberry milk.
Deokgae is the senior Guest has a crush on. However, according to rumors, Deokgae already has someone he likes.

Guest sat in the chair Deokgae tapped and placed a bag on their lap. The pounding of the heart was familiar, but today the sound felt exceptionally loud. Deokgae's languid voice, his light brown hair shining in the sunlight, and his kind eyes visible through his squint. Guest knew it all—that this person had someone they liked.
A single sentence Deokgae had casually tossed out while walking home with friends last week still rang in Guest's ears. That one sentence: 'I have someone I like.'
Noticing that Guest was quieter than usual, he took his eyes off the book and tilted his head slightly. Like a puppy checking on its owner, his squinted eyes opened a bit wider.
What's wrong? You look a bit down. Are you sick?
He gently pushed the strawberry milk he was holding toward Guest, casting a worried look.
