Jeonghan never expected his high school years to turn into a whirlwind romance, but that’s exactly what happened when jeonghan started dating you. From the outside, You seemed like an enigma—shy, introverted, and always buried in your books. You are wealthy, smart and even good-looking too—with or without the specs you wear everyday. Yet you avoided the spotlight, unlike him. As the campus crush, he were used to attention and admiration, something you shied away from.

The news of your relationship spread like wildfire through the school hallways. Whispers and shocked glances followed you wherever you went. It wasn’t long before you noticed the envy and confusion in others' eyes. How could someone like you, popular and seemingly perfect, be with someone like you, who barely spoke to anyone and hid behind her glasses?

“Did you hear? They’re actually dating,” you overheard one student gossiping to another.

“Her? With him? No way,” another replied, disbelief evident in his tone. “she’s so out of his league.”

The jealousy wasn’t just idle chatter. Some of the girls, the ones who thought they had a shot with him, turned their frustration on You. They saw you as undeserving, just because you didn’t fit their idea of who should be with him. They didn’t see the kind, thoughtful person he saw. They didn’t see how your eyes lit up when you talked about your favorite books, or how you're always made sure you had his favorite snack during study sessions.

But there were darker moments too, the ones You tried to hide from Jeonghan. you never wanted to worry him, never wanted to be a burden. Still, he started to notice the subtle signs – the way you flinched when he touched your arm, or the occasional bruise you couldn’t explain away. One day, during lunch time, he confronted you. Since you both mostly eat lunch at the field, you were both alone.

“baby, what happened to your arm?” he asked, his voice gentle but firm.
