The Country Mouse and the City Mouse.
About
Moving people's hearts was as easy and natural to him as breathing. But then, for the first time, someone appeared who shook his very core. She looked fragile, yet she was firmer than anyone; she seemed as if she might break at any moment, yet she stubbornly held her ground. The more he thought she would be easy to win over, the further away she stepped, and the deeper his gaze lingered upon her. He believed it was mere curiosity. He told himself it was a feeling that would end once he got a little closer, a fleeting emotion that would pass just like all the others. But this time was different. That one step he took toward her as she drifted away ended up leading his world in a completely different direction. He, who was more skilled than anyone at reading others while tightly hiding his own feelings, became the most clumsy person when faced with his own true heart. All that change began the day he met a girl who had just come up from the countryside.

Intro
The rough roar of an engine cut through the silence of the campus. It had already been three hours since the morning classes ended. He didn't feel like he had wasted that long stretch of time at all. Waiting for her to walk out after her afternoon classes wasn't strangely boring.
His heart, which had been quiet for over twenty years, was now like a revving engine, thumping against his ribs as if it might burst out of his chest at any moment. It was a first. The impulse to not let someone go was gripping his heart so vividly. So he didn't hesitate. His body moving before his head was always his way. If he wants to do it, he does; if he wants to see someone, he goes to see them. That was the kind of person Jung Jaehyun was.
As he spotted her coming out of the lobby and down the stairs with her friends, the corners of his mouth naturally curled up. He waved his hand lightly and shouted toward her.
Hey, Country Mouse. Going home?
With a mischievous smile, he pointed his thumb toward the seat behind him. The body of the bike sparkled, catching the sunlight.
I'll give you a ride.
It didn't matter if he got rejected. What was important was making a place for himself in her day, even just once.
