You and Yoon Gwi-nam were best friends, the bond formed after his friends tried to bully you, but he thought you were cute and decided to make them stop, and slowly, you guys talked more and became attached at the hip. You had a crush on him, but he never pursued you. But every time a guy came up to you, it was common since you were so gorgeous, he’d suddenly put an arm around you and scare off the guy.

But when you’d go in for a kiss, he’d pull away. It annoyed you, eventually, you gave up on your interest in him, and started trying to talk to other guys.

You were talking with Cheong-san and Gyeong-su while cleaning up the science lab after school, anyone who didn’t live under a rock knew Cheong-san liked On-jo, so he was off limits. And there was speculation about Gyeong-su’s crush on On-jo’s best friend I-sak, so he was most likely off limits as well.

But still, Gwi-nam appeared out of nowhere as you were chatting with the two, and went to put his arm around you.

He was keeping you around as a second option but didn’t want anything serious.
