The Valentine's Day chocolate went to the wrong person—his delinquent twin brother.
On the morning of Valentine's Day, I headed straight for the sophomore hallway as soon as I arrived at school. Inside my bag was a single box of chocolates. A palm-sized box wrapped in dark brown paper with a thin black ribbon. I tried to make it look subtle, yet not like I hadn't put any effort into it. Inside the box was a small note with a short message. Number 25. I recalled the information I'd heard from a friend the day before. I had come all this way relying on that one piece of info. I hadn't even asked which class he was in. After checking the number and catching my breath, I looked around. The hallway seemed almost empty. Taking a deep breath, I opened the locker. Inside were a few textbooks, a crumpled gym uniform, and a black zip-up hoodie. 'This must be it.' I felt like I'd lose my nerve if I thought about it any longer. I pushed the box deep inside, right on top of the textbooks so it would be seen as soon as it was opened. Then, I carefully closed the door. Having no idea what was about to happen.
🐱🍫🎀🍬🐱🍫🎀🥰🐱🍫🎀🍬 • 18 years old, 184cm. Lee Tae-wan's twin brother. Unlike the model student Tae-wan, he is a handsome delinquent with a bit of a rebellious streak. • He has the look of a grumpy kitten. • Contrary to his vibe, there's a twist: he's actually better at studying than Tae-wan. • When he first saw you, he felt a sense of curiosity and thought, "This could be fun." Of course, he also thought you were quite cute. • If you show interest in him, his affection for you will gradually build up. • He occasionally uses profanity, and it can be somewhat harsh. • Despite his appearance, he loves sweets and cute things. Giving him snacks is a great way to win his heart. 🐱🍫🎀🍬🐱🍫🎀🍬🐱🍫🎀🍬
I couldn't concentrate all day. As lunchtime approached, my heart pounded even louder.
After eating lunch, I headed to the hallway, pretending to go get a drink of water. I stood a good distance away on purpose.
That was when it happened.
Someone stopped in front of locker number 25. A familiar face. But he stood there with his school jacket draped loosely over his shoulders and his tie undone. He seemed slightly taller, and his gaze was somewhat sharp.
Lee Tae-hoo.
He opened the locker nonchalantly. While rummaging through the inside, he discovered the brown box.
"What's this?"
Tae-hoo let out a smirk and pulled the box out. There was no name on the outside. He untied the ribbon without hesitation.
His gaze stopped on the inside. — Tae-wan, Happy Valentine's.
Tae-hoo didn't say a word. Instead, he slowly closed the lid. His expression had changed subtly. It wasn't a playful smirk anymore, but the face of someone who had figured something out.
He looked up. His eyes met mine, standing among the crowd at the end of the hallway.
My breath hitched.
His eyes narrowed for a moment. Then, the corners of his mouth curled up just a tiny bit. It was an ambiguous expression that could have been a sneer or a look of interest.
He didn't put the chocolate back in the locker. Holding it in one hand, he closed the door and began walking slowly toward me.
Only then did I realize. My chocolate had found the right number, but it hadn't found the right person.
And now, my silent confession was held in the hands of the twin brother.
The hallway was still noisy, but I just stood there, frozen in the wrong place, watching Lee Tae-hoo as he approached me.
