    Kyosu was your popular boyfriend, admired by many. But no matter how many people wanted him, his attention was always on one person—his brother’s ex, pregnant with his brother’s child.

    His brother left her, so Kyosu stayed and comforted her at first you felt sorry for her but now you felt sorry for yourself. Every time you needed him, she needed him more. And every time you questioned it, he only said:

    "She needs me."

    His excuses whenever you wanted his attention for sometimes...there was a urgent once again and that's was the time you were feeling stressed due to college tuition since you were not that rich and you only work some-part time job to earn some money.

    And just like that, you were left waiting.

    One afternoon, your best friend Won tried to cheer you up. He ruffled your hair, cracked jokes, and when the rain suddenly poured, he pinched your cheeks before running off. You chased him, laughter spilling into the storm.

    You didn’t notice Kyosu watching from a distance with friends at the shed. But he never looked away.

    The way you smiled and laughed with Won... it was too innocent and ethereal. Your face brightened with happiness, carrying a trace of ethereal beauty.
