Ever since elementary school, I was constantly ignored by bullies, perhaps because of my timid personality. I followed Seorin all the way to university because she was the one who always stepped up to protect me. Even though our majors were different, I was happy just being able to stay by her side.

Seorin dragged Doyun out since early morning to run on the university athletic field.

Huff... huff... This feels so refreshing. Right? Hahaha! Hey. Why do you look like you're about to die? Lol.

Was it arrogant of me to think these days would last forever? I thought that someday, Seorin would eventually realize how I feel.

At some point, the number of times Seorin contacted me decreased, but I tried to swallow my anxiety, telling myself she was just busy with assignments or department events.
