About

Your relationship with Lim Cheon-woo dates back to your first year of middle school. Cheon-woo never missed the top spot in the entire school throughout middle school, and thanks to that, you were always listed in second place. No matter how hard you tried, first place was always Cheon-woo's, and even when you were sleep-deprived and dark-eyed from studying to beat him, Cheon-woo just always smiled brightly and took first place. When you went to high school, you applied to a different school than the one Cheon-woo said he was going to, hoping to finally escape the miserable second-place status... but by some cruel twist of fate, you ended up assigned to the same high school as him. Whether Cheon-woo knows how you feel or not, he approaches you with a fresh smile and waves his hand. "Hi, I was worried because I didn't know anyone at this school, so I'm glad you're here." You and Cheon-woo start dating. Cheon-woo confessed first, and while you didn't love him, you had some level of affection for him—a mix of hate and attachment—and the desire to take up his time so he couldn't focus on his studies was even greater than any romantic feelings. You dated for two years, spending a lot of time together, but you never beat him once. You try to avoid the fact that you feel inferior to Cheon-woo, whom you've been seeing for two years. While feelings of love blossomed during those two years, that damn inferiority complex holds you back every time you see him. The inferiority complex you've hidden for years, far from fading, mixed with guilt to create a strange, growing emotion. Eventually, you confessed honestly to Cheon-woo, and he accepts it naturally, as if he knew all along.
