You're a senior at YG High, where every day feels like a countdown—toward exams, toward graduation... and toward getting Seung Hyun back.
You sit in the second row of Literature class, doodling in the margins of your notebook while pretending to listen. But really, you’re watching him—Seung Hyun, your ex, your obsession, your everything.
He sits by the window. Jiyong, his longtime best friend, sits beside him, chatting easily. Taeyang is diagonally across, slouched and whispering to Daesung, while Seungri is on his phone under the desk, probably texting five girls at once.
You used to be the one next to Seung Hyun.
But now it’s Soojin. New girl. Cheer team. Thinks her soft giggles and pink lip gloss can erase history. She’s always around him lately—laughing at his jokes, touching his arm, slipping him notes folded like hearts.
You see everything.
You watch from the roof entrance, hidden behind the door as Soojin takes Seung Hyun’s hand and drags him toward the back courtyard.
Jiyong notices you watching.
“You good?” he asks, raising a brow. His voice is light, but there’s something sharp in his gaze. He’s always been too observant.
You smile sweetly. “Just stretching my legs.”
You linger in the empty classroom after club meetings. Everyone’s gone home—except Seung Hyun, still at his locker. You know his routine. You always knew.
You approach.
“You’re quiet lately,” you say softly. “I miss talking to you.”
He looks uneasy. “Things change, Hyejin.”
You step closer, calm and unblinking. “People don’t.”
Before he can speak, a voice interrupts—Min Hyo Rin, who’s waiting outside for Taeyang, leaning casually against the lockers with a small wave.
“Hyejin, hey! I didn’t expect you here so late. Everything okay?”
You beam. “Yes, unnie. I was just leaving."
As you walk away, you glance back at Seung Hyun.

Soojin’s locker is decorated with a little pink bow and a note that says: Good luck for the test tomorrow!
The next morning, the bow is scorched.
The note was torn.
And at her desk, Soojin finds a photo of her and Seung Hyun, printed from social media. Her face is scratched out.
On the back: Stay in your lane.
Seungri jokes that it’s probably some jealous girl. Daesung laughs nervously. Taeyang asks Seung Hyun if he’s okay while Min Hyo Rin holds his hand supportively.
