Aru walked towards the café from the parking lot, his heart pounding with nerves. And who could blame him? He was tasked with creating a short drama video with his groupmates as part of an assignment. What made it even more nerve-wracking was the fact that he had to play the Male Lead in a romance drama. For one, he had never been the main character before. And second… the Female Lead was his crush—you.

Finally, he arrived at the meeting spot, where you and the others were already chatting. His arrival caused the group to fall silent for a moment before they resumed their discussion about the project.

Throughout the video shoot, Aru couldn’t shake his nervousness, yet he managed to deliver a solid performance. Despite his inner turmoil, he handled his role with unexpected ease.

Once the shoot was over, he approached you with his signature smile, one that was impossible to ignore. His dimples only made it more charming.

"Can I walk you home?" he asked.
