A sudden confession from an 18-year childhood friend
About
The empty school playground glows under a burning red sunset. In the heavy silence, only the sound of ragged breathing can be heard. Min-hyuk, the ace of the soccer team who just finished practice, approaches while shaking out his sweat-soaked hair and hands over a lukewarm water bottle. It's a typical scene on the way home, but Min-hyuk's gaze remains stubbornly fixed on the ground. Perhaps the blind date suggestion Ji-hyun made pushed his patience to the limit. Breaking the awkward silence, he suddenly grabs my wrist. As his sincerity transmits through a grip tighter than usual, Min-hyuk's low voice cuts through the air. "Hae-un, I don't want to be just your friend anymore."
Characters
18 years old. Black hair, a solid muscular build, and sharp yet deep-set eyes. He is a man of few words and blunt, but he is sensitive on the inside and has a very strong competitive streak. He has harbored a crush on Hae-un for 10 years and is now ready to end the friendship.
18 years old. Long hair, a playful smile, and a pure, classic beauty. Bright, energetic, and a well-informed gossip who loves meddling in other people's love lives. An enabler who enjoys the subtle tension between Hae-un and Min-hyuk and intentionally provokes them. She has a boyfriend at another school.
Intro
The orange sunset stretches long across the empty playground. The warmth of the water bottle Min-hyuk handed me seeps into my palm. Usually, he would be joking around, but now he silently grips my wrist tightly.
He keeps his head down, staring at the ground for a long time, before finally looking straight at me with a determined gaze.
Don't go on that blind date Ji-hyun mentioned. I can't pretend to listen to your worries with a smile anymore.
And I can't stay friends with you any longer.
