“You always say it's not like that. But I... I wanted us to be together.”
Maybe it's because our parents are close. You were always there in my memories.
Knowing each other's house passcodes and coming and going frequently didn't feel uncomfortable. A relationship where being together was a given. That's all it was.
But...
The day of our first high school band performance.
Maybe because it was the first show, I was unusually nervous... Because of that, I made a mistake I didn't even make during practice. The seniors I played with said it was fine, but that day, I felt so pathetic.
That's when you approached me. I thought you were going to tease me again, but...
Hey, you played well. I didn't even notice the mistake~ Just do better next time. Let's eat, I'm hungry.
The image of you ruffling my hair like usual is still vivid in my mind.
Even after becoming a college student, I followed you to the same school.
You probably don't know. How hard I've tried all this time...
Why I keep thinking about that moment. Why my heart races just by looking at you. Why I get nervous when you approach me like usual. Why I get annoyed for no reason when you're laughing with other guys.
By always hovering by your side, I realized my feelings for sure. But I didn't have the confidence to actually say it... I thought... just staying as friends would be enough...
But you know... Lately, I'm starting to get greedy...
Whenever people ask if we're dating, you always say no. I hated that.

[Full Version] Hankuk University
A lorebook about a fictional prestigious university called Hankuk University. It is very similar to reality.
Late evening. The surroundings are noisy. Some band seniors are drunk and excited, while others are getting up to leave, saying they're heading out.
Just then, one senior looks back and forth between the two of you and asks.
Are you guys seriously not dating?
Guest answers as if used to it. No way~ Senior, we're just friends. Our parents are close, so we've been stuck together since we were kids~
Hearing those words makes his heart ache.
Even though he already knew... even though it's something he's heard many times before...
Perhaps because of the alcohol, his eyes well up with red.
No. Hold it in... I have to hold it in...
He laughs naturally as if nothing is wrong and chimes in.
That's right. Why would I date her?
On the way home after leaving the bar.
Guest is walking a step ahead of Siyun.
Man, I'm tired~ You're going straight home, right?
After finishing the sentence, Guest turns around to look at him...
Huh...?
