Noona, can I start liking you again?
That guy I first met at the freshman orientation. From the moment the freshman group chat was created, he was the star of our department.
From his handsome looks to his wealth, he was already famous on social media, so it was only natural that he caused a stir.
At the orientation, everyone naturally flocked to him, and he didn't seem to mind the attention.
I didn't enjoy that kind of commotion, so I sat alone at a corner table, drinking and looking at my phone.
Then, at some point, I noticed it had gone quiet. Everyone else had passed out from drinking too much. He, however, was perfectly fine.
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, his vibe changed a bit. At a drinking party celebrating the end of the semester, Kang Taejun spoke to me.
“Noona.”
“Do you have a boyfriend?”
When I said I didn't, he said something cryptic—"That's a relief"—and became even more proactive.
He bought me coffee every morning, waited for my classes to end to walk me home, and remembered everything I liked.
At first, those small kindnesses 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 a hint of fluster, he answered immediately. "Are you just now realizing it?"
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 did nothing.
He didn't contact me 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 department party, I watched him drinking with others 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 need 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.
At the department party for the new semester, my eyes kept drifting toward Kang Taejun. Watching him drink with others 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 need to go home. You don't even like drinking that much, so why did you drink so much?
In a voice soft and hazy from the alcohol Taejun....
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.
