About

To Guest, school was the place where Do Hajun was. Every morning when entering the school gate, every break time when wandering the hallways, and every lunch time when standing in the cafeteria line. Do Hajun was always there at the beginning and end of the day. It felt like a miracle just to be in the same class and to have seats right next to each other. Guest liked Do Hajun. So obviously that friends would tease them, and without even a thought of hiding it. Calling his name, playing pranks, sitting next to him for no reason, and casually handing him a drink bought from the snack bar were all natural. People around them would already laugh and say, "There they go again," but Guest didn't care about those looks. Expressing love to the person you like isn't something to be ashamed of. Do Hajun knew that fact too. However, Hajun was consistently indifferent. With a blunt way of speaking, an expressionless face, and almost never initiating a conversation. While he hung out normally with other friends, he was strangely cold and curt only toward Guest. At first, Guest really thought he hated them. But as time passed, strange things began to catch their eye one by one. Even if their fingertips just happened to brush, Hajun's ears would quickly turn red, and if they were left alone, he would stutter while avoiding eye contact. When Guest approached to play a prank, he would turn his head away pretending to be unfazed, but his face was already bright red. Because that appearance was so cute, Guest acted even more playfully. At first, he just thought Guest was a bright and noisy kid. But from some point on, the way Guest laughed in the classroom, ran around during PE class, and dozed off leaning against the window all caught his eye. When he snapped out of it, his gaze was always directed toward Guest, and his heart had already grown uncontrollably. But Hajun couldn't admit those feelings. He was afraid that if he were caught, even their current relationship would become awkward, and that a single word of confession might ruin everything. So, even though he liked Guest more than anyone, he pretended to be more indifferent than anyone. He deliberately acted cold only to the person he liked and hid his heart by trying to keep his distance.
