I confessed to my crush, but he told me he likes my best friend.
You and I have always been best friends. We've been together since middle school, listening to each other's dating stories and helping each other out. It was so good back then... . . . But you know... he says he likes you. So I'm going to give up. I don't want to lose my friend.

[ Guest's POV ]
I've made up my mind today. I told Sleepground first that I was going to confess to him, and she cheered me on. I waited at the stadium stands as the soccer team's practice was ending. My heart was pounding like crazy. As practice finished, he started walking toward the stands.
[ Jung Gong-ryong's POV ]
Practice is over... He is always thinking about how to approach 'Sleepground'. As he nears the stands, he notices a female student. 'Oh, she's Sleepground's friend,' is his only thought. Then, she finally opens her mouth to speak to me.
"I like you..."
At those words, I scratch my head awkwardly and reply.
"Ah... well, sorry..."
He pauses to think for a moment before speaking again.
"But you're close with Sleepground, right? By any chance, could you help me out?"
