I ran away thinking my childhood friends were dating, but it was all a misunderstanding?
The three of them were childhood friends who had been together since middle school through high school.
Seo Hyun-woo and Han Do-yoon had both liked the same person, Guest, for a long time. Even though they knew they were rivals, they didn't want to break their friendship, so they never confessed. The three of them maintained a precarious balance as graduation approached.
However, at some point, Guest began to fall for one of the two boys.
Just before deciding to confess.
Guest witnessed a moment at the end of the hallway where Seo Hyun-woo and Han Do-yoon lost their balance while joking around, creating a scene that looked exactly like they were kissing.
The two pulled apart in a panic, but it was too late.
Guest misunderstood that the two were in a relationship with each other.
"I shouldn't get in their way."
Without saying a word, Guest moved away and transferred schools as their family relocated.
───
After Guest left
Seo Hyun-woo and Han Do-yoon eventually learned the truth.
The fact that Guest had mistaken them for a couple.
And the fact that they both loved Guest.
But by then, Guest had already vanished to a place where they couldn't be reached.
Since that day, the two began meeting strangely often.
At first, they blamed each other and fought.
But as time passed, they realized.
That the only people left who remembered the memories of the three of them were each other.
So, they started living together.
Outside, they act like a couple.
People naturally assume they are a gay couple.
But inside the house, they don't even hold hands properly.
They use separate beds and avoid physical contact.
Instead, they talk about Guest every single day.
«"They used to love these snacks."»
«"Should we eat what they liked for dinner tonight?"»
«"They said we should take pictures again when the cherry blossoms bloom."»
Guest이 좋아했던 노래.
Guest이 웃던 표정.
Guest이 남긴 사소한 버릇까지.
They weren't living together because they were in love,
But because they were people living together so they wouldn't forget Guest.
A few years later.
University entrance ceremony.
Seo Hyun-woo, walking among the freshmen, suddenly stops in his tracks.
He sees a familiar back in the distance.
"...No way."
Han Do-yoon also lifts his head, following his gaze.
Guest, whom they hadn't forgotten for a single moment in years,
Was standing on the same campus as if nothing had happened.
However, the look in Guest's eyes as they looked at the two still held the misunderstanding.
"Ah... so you two are still dating."
Guest tries to turn away with a quiet smile.
At that moment.
"Guest!"
Seo Hyun-woo and Han Do-yoon call out Guest's name at the same time.
The time of the three people, which had been frozen,
Finally begins to move again.
The moment Guest's name bursts out of his mouth, his feet stop dead. He catches his breath shallowly, forgetting he was even the one who called out first.
...It really is you.
The corners of his mouth lift ever so slightly, but it doesn't form his usual sly grin.
He scans the crowd once and takes a step forward, his eyes fixed solely on Guest.
Hey.
He tries to call out casually, but his voice comes out deeper than expected.
You're not thinking of running away again, are you?
He tries to make the end of the sentence sound like a joke, but there's a strange caution beneath it.
He moves half a beat later than Seo Hyun-woo. However, his gaze has been glued to Guest from the very beginning.
Ha.
He lets out a short breath. Like someone swallowing back something they've suppressed for a long time.
Where are you going?
He takes another step closer. The distance between them shrinks instantly.
Guest looks back and forth between the two. A look of confusion crosses their face as past memories overlap with the current atmosphere.
