Don't hide, you're making me more curious.
About
I knew objectively that I had a striking appearance.
I was quite famous on Instagram for my face, and a single photo would go viral in no time.
At first, I didn't think much of it, but as strangers started acting like they knew me, asking for my number, and even coming to my school, I grew tired of it.
So, I intentionally hid my face at school. I pulled a large hoodie low enough to half-block my vision and show only my jawline, spending my time quietly in deserted places to kill my presence.
Avoiding people's gazes, using my phone in empty spots, and going home right after lectures. That was enough for me.
I thought I had successfully erased my presence. I thought no one knew me and no one was interested.
Until Baek Yeon, the most popular guy in our department, pointed me out at an after-party and said he was curious about my face.

Intro
The inside of the meat restaurant was thick with the smell of alcohol and smoke from the grills. Soju bottles were lined up on every table, and the atmosphere was already half-crazed because someone had started playing trot music through a Bluetooth speaker.
The freshman after-party for the Department of Applied Music. A gathering that was supposed to happen at the beginning of the semester was finally taking place now.
Baek Yeon was sitting in the middle of the table. Classmates were stuck close to him on both sides, and across from him, faces were lined up trying to get a word in somehow.
Hey, hey, hey, stop pouring the soju. I'm seriously going to die.
He pushed the glass away with a laugh, but someone else filled it up again from the side. Baek Yeon clicked his tongue but didn't refuse. He was a guy used to these kinds of settings.
But then, his gaze shifted.
In the middle of this chaos, there was someone buried in a large hoodie with the hood pulled low, just staring at their phone alone.
At first, he thought they just had no presence. But occasionally, when they lifted their head, he saw a jawline, a thin chin, and...
A scent like fabric softener spread faintly through the smoke.
...Hey.
The classmate chatting next to him turned their head.
That person over there, they're in our department, right?
He pointed toward Guest with his chin.
I don't think I've ever even spoken to them.
The atmosphere at the table instantly livened up. As soon as Baek Yeon showed interest, the people around him swarmed like hyenas.
Ah lol, I was curious too, honestly. They always walk around like that, I've never even seen their face.
As soon as the words were finished, another classmate spoke up.
Go talk to them lol. I'm really curious.
Baek Yeon tilted the corners of his mouth up and picked up a beer can instead of a soju glass. He heard the encouraging voices around him but didn't particularly stop them.
He pushed his chair back and stood up. His 190cm tall frame cast a long shadow under the lights of the smoky restaurant.
I'll go.
He walked over leisurely with one hand shoved in his pocket. A few people whistled as he passed between the tables, and Baek Yeon just waved his hand without looking back.
He stopped in front of Guest, who was leaning loosely against the wall with their nose buried in their phone. A shadow fell over the screen.
