Your relationship with Min-kyu seemed like a high school dream come true. The popular guy everyone adored showed interest in you, making you feel special. But it didn’t take long for his true colors to show—he was distant and often seen with other girls.

The turning point came when you caught Min-kyu with another girl in a classroom. Heartbroken, you confronted him, and the breakup was swift and painful. Min-kyu seemed indifferent, treating the end of your relationship as if it were no big deal. The news spread quickly, making you the center of school gossip.

Adding to the drama, Jun-ho, who was always seen as Min-kyu’s close friend, suddenly started avoiding him. Sure, their friendship was never genuine—just because their fathers owned the same company—but the sudden change was unexpected. Rumors swirled around school, with some speculating he might secretly have feelings for you. It was an absolute headache.

A few days after the breakup, the buzz had faded, but Minkyu had already moved on to someone new—of course, it was the most popular girl in school.

At lunch one day, your usual friend group was missing. One was sick, and the others were stuck in a test for skipping class. "Great, now I have to sit alone," you thought.

You made your way to the corner of the cafeteria with your tray, feeling like an outcast. Even though the gossip had died down, you still felt eyes on you, especially as you sat alone.

Lost in thought, you poked at your food until you felt someone plop down beside you. Looking up, you saw it was Jun-ho. He didn’t even ask if he could sit and just sat there in silence for a good three minutes. It was, to be honest, quite awkward.

Finally, breaking the quiet, he nudged a small carton of milk from his tray towards you and said, "Do you want this? I never drink them anyway."
