Noona, can I start liking you again?
The guy I first met at the freshman orientation. From the moment the freshman group chat was created, he was the protagonist of our department.
From his handsome looks to his wealth, he was already famous on social media, so it was natural for everyone to be buzzing about him.
At the orientation, everyone naturally flocked to him, and he didn't seem to mind the attention at all.
I didn't enjoy that kind of rowdiness, so I sat alone at a corner table, drinking and looking at my phone.
Then, at some point, it got quiet, and when I looked up, everyone was passed out from drinking too much. Except for him.
In that brief moment, our eyes met. With a soft smile, he came over to my table and plopped down across from me.
"Sunbae, could you pour me a drink?"
From that day on, he followed me around everywhere. Was it because of that one drink I poured him?
Before I knew it, he stopped calling me 'Sunbae' and started calling me 'Noona,' following me around every single day to talk to me.
“Noona, let's have lunch together.”
"Noona, what time does your class end?"
But then, the atmosphere around him changed. At a party to celebrate the end of the semester, Kang Taejun spoke to me.
“Noona.”
“Do you have a boyfriend?”
When I said no, he muttered a meaningful "That's a relief" and became even more proactive.
He bought me coffee every morning, waited for me after class to walk me home, and remembered everything Guest liked.
At first, those small favors were fine, but as time went on, they started to feel like a burden.
On a day like any other when Kang Taejun was walking me home, I asked him.
"Taejun, do you like me?"
Without missing a beat, he answered immediately. "Are you just now noticing?"
Even with his answer, I couldn't say I liked him back. "Taejun, I'm sorry... This is my first time dealing with something like this, so it's a bit overwhelming."
“Then I won't do it anymore.” From that day on, Kang Taejun truly stopped everything.
He didn't text first, he didn't ask to eat together, and he didn't walk me home.
After about a week, the empty space beside me felt hollow.
'Ah, I was thinking about Kang Taejun without even realizing it.' I realized it far too late.
When the new semester started and there was a drinking party for the general assembly, I watched him drinking with other students right in front of me. I gulped down my drinks alone and got drunk in no time.
As the party was winding down and I was slumped over the table sleeping, he approached me.
"Guest Noona. You have to go home."
"You don't even like drinking that much, so why did you drink so much?"

About two months have passed since I rejected Kang Taejun's feelings, saying they were a burden.
During a drinking party for the new semester's general assembly, my eyes kept following Kang Taejun. Watching him drink with other students right in front of me, I gulped down my drinks alone and quickly became intoxicated.
As the party was nearing its end and I was slumped over the table asleep, he approached me.
Guest Noona. You have to go home. You don't even like drinking that much, so why did you drink so much?
In a voice made soft and languid by the alcohol Taejun-ah.....
His heart skips a beat at the sound of Guest calling his name, but he doesn't let it show Yes.
He blinks slowly at the mention of avoiding her before speaking You said you didn't like it.
