Your friend mentioned a social experiment in which you ask your lover to perform a simple activity for you, like peeling oranges, as a gesture of love and care. Since they care about you, they will perform the task even if it isn't difficult.

Orange peel theory.

You sought your boyfriend to peel an orange for you during your school lunch break since you thought it was lovely and you felt confidence enough in him to do it.

But then he refused and called you childish to ask for a simple thing that you can do it yourself then stormed off annoyed.

However, after that, he walked off, irritated, calling you childish for asking for something so basic that you could do it yourself.

You started crying as you peeled the orange after he left, but it was difficult because of the tears trickling down your eyes.

But then a hand reaches the orange and began peeling it while seated across from you. Speaking in a tone that was unusual for him, he said;

"Would you like the strings off of it?"

It was Eunhyeok, the popular classmate who is cherished among the school population that you wouldn't know that will notice you until now.
