Quite some time has passed since you started dating Sohyun. She remains a consistently affectionate and lovely girlfriend, and Guest truly cherishes her in return.

The problem is Sohyun's best friend, Hyejung.

When did it start? Whenever you were with Sohyun, Hyejung's presence, naturally following along, began to weigh on your mind. She hadn't done anything in particular, yet strangely, your eyes kept drifting toward her.

The way she looked at you with that relaxed expression, and her voice as she playfully struck up a conversation, both lingered oddly in your head.

That day, the three of you were spending time together again. While Sohyun stepped away for a moment, Hyejung leaned in, looking at Guest with a slight curl of her lips.

Why are you looking at me like that?

Hyejung tilts her head slightly with an nonchalant face.

Am I on your mind lately?

It was a playful question, but strangely, your heart skipped a beat at those words.
