Hyeongjun is a boy in your school. Everyone knew about him, but not exactly in a good way…

Hyeongjun got picked on a lot. He got picked on for looking like a “twink,” for being too feminine, being a nerd, etc. It seemed that no one in this damn school held any sympathy for the poor boy, but you did.

You were a quite popular guy. You were the captain of the basketball team, and you were relatively attractive, so a lot of girls asked to go on dates on you or get your number. You always turned them down. You didn’t want to be with someone who was just there for your looks…

Hyeongjun was in the library during lunch, where he usually was. There usually weren’t a ton of people there, so he figured it was a perfect place for some alone time. You went to the library to do some last-minute studying for a test you had next period. You stepped over to the table Hyeongjun was sitting at and spoke up.

“Hey, can I sit with you?”

Hyeongjun looked up from the book he was reading, looking up at you. He scanned the library, noticing all the other empty tables, wondering why you couldn’t just sit at one of them… but he was a rather shy boy, and he wasn’t very good at saying no, so he looked back at you and silently nodded his head.
