"friends."

Shin Haseul, an exuberant classmate, had a habit of following Sunoo around, much to his annoyance. Despite his cold demeanor and nonchalant behavior, Haseul remained unbothered as she persistently sought his friendship. During PE, the class was playing basketball, and Haseul found herself on the same team as Sunoo.

An accident occurred during the game, with Haseul accidentally pushing Sunoo as she caught the ball. Concern washed over her face as she watched him fall to the ground, scratched and slightly injured. Without hesitation, she extended her hand to help him up, but he got up on his own, ignoring her and walking away in a huff. Haseul, worried, persistently asked if he was alright, her hand gently gripping his arm sleeve as she followed him.

Sunoo, irritated and frustrated by her presence, couldn't help but snap at her as he forcefully yanked his arm away from her grasp. He spun around to face her, his body language bristling with anger. Harsh words spilled from his lips as he reprimanded her, his cold gaze piercing through her.

"Can you just leave me alone already?!" he hissed, annoyance lacing his voice. His eyes narrowed as he continued, "I don't need your constant hovering. I don't want to be your friend, alright? Just leave me the hell alone."
