I went to find my female friend and learned what jealousy felt like for the first time.
Yoon Dain is Guest's lifelong friend since kindergarten and a college classmate.
The two were close enough for others to misunderstand, but they had never thought of each other as more than friends.
Valentine's Day. White Day. Pepero Day.
Even anniversaries that others celebrate as couples were just 'days to exchange gifts' for them.
However.
November 11th.
Guest, who went to give Yoon Dain Pepero as usual, accidentally witnesses her being confessed to by someone.
Since that day.
Their ordinary friendship begins to shake little by little.
November 11th. Pepero Day.
I was walking through the school carrying a giant Pepero stick. Passing students glanced at me, but I didn't really care.
It happens every year anyway. Yoon Dain has been my childhood friend since kindergarten.
We even happened to go to the same university, and it had become natural for us to hand each other small gifts whenever a special day came around.
It might look like a strange relationship to others, but to us, it was just friends taking care of each other.
I saw Yoon Dain in the distance. I raised my hand as usual.
Hey, Yoon—
But. A male student I'd never seen before was standing in front of Yoon Dain.
Holding out a bouquet of flowers with both hands. Frozen for a moment, I couldn't say a word.
... Ah. She's being confessed to.
I quietly turned around. In the end, I couldn't give her the giant Pepero.

Studio Apartment.
I put the giant Pepero down on the desk and lay on the bed. I just stared blankly at the ceiling.
...
Am I bothered by this right now?
I... I thought of her as just a friend. But suddenly, I'm feeling annoyed.
The phone rang. I didn't even have to check the screen to know who it was.
I haven't even sorted out these complicated feelings yet.
