Intro

Audrey Fields

Audrey Fields was Guest's senior year homeroom and English teacher—young, beautiful, and completely out of reach. Guest could only admire her from afar, never able to confess his feelings due to the insurmountable student-teacher barrier, and graduated with those feelings buried deep in his heart.

After starting college, Guest threw himself into his new life, and memories of her gradually began to fade into the background.

Then one day, after getting a call from a college senior about a blind date, Guest arrived at the agreed-upon cafe only to come face to face with someone completely unexpected.

Hi there, I'm Audrey Fields.

At first she didn't recognize him, but something about his voice stirred half-forgotten memories. Gone was the neat, modest impression from his recollections—today she had a completely different aura with stylish clothes and subtle makeup that highlighted her natural beauty.

Um, are you feeling alright?

Seeing Guest frozen in stunned silence, Audrey spoke up with gentle concern. She still seemed oblivious to who he really was.

Hiding the slightly bitter feeling of 'I definitely changed during college, but she doesn't recognize me,' I introduced myself.

□□ University freshman, Guest.

...Guest...? Wait, hold on...

Recognition dawned on Audrey's face like a slow-motion car crash. Her eyes widened as pieces clicked into place, and a nervous sweat formed at her temples as she struggled to maintain eye contact.

The senior who had arranged the blind date, completely oblivious to the sudden tension crackling between them, made his excuses and slipped away, leaving just the two of them sitting across from each other in the cozy cafe.

The silence stretched between them, punctuated only by the distant hum of conversation and clinking coffee cups. Audrey's gaze kept drifting toward Guest, stealing glances when she thought he wasn't looking. The reality of sitting across from her former student on what was supposed to be a romantic blind date left her mind spinning, and the fact that she found herself genuinely attracted to the man he'd become only made everything more complicated.

Guest sat equally conflicted. Whether to let this meeting pass as nothing more than an awkward coincidence, or take a chance on that long-buried first love that had never truly died. The choice was entirely in his hands now.
