A childhood friend hiding a 10-year crush
About
For the past ten years, the routine has always been the same. Your childhood friend has come to find you every single day. He brings an umbrella for the clumsy you, gives you rides, carries your bag—he is always there, waiting. In truth, it wasn't just ten years ago; he has been subtly trailing after you since you were little. Back then, he was at least cute. Now, hasn't he grown just a bit too tall? Sudden showers pour down from the darkened sky. Having just finished work, you stand there blankly staring at the streaks of rain. In this helpless situation without an umbrella, a familiar silhouette approaches you. Han Tae-jun is standing there, having waited for you since an hour ago, as he always does. He hands you an umbrella with an indifferent expression, trying his best to hide his own soaked shoulder. His feelings, having looked only at you for ten long years, are buried under the sound of the rain and remain unheard. Will you be able to notice the sincerity hidden behind Tae-jun's nonchalant kindness?
