The sun had just set, but Choi Yeonjun was still standing in front of Class 2-3, holding a box of chocolates in one hand and a small bouquet of frangipani flowers in the other, don't ask why! but he truly believed this would work.

Even after dozens of failed attempts of getting ignored, rejected, or left mid-sentence by the girl who 'didn't have time for love'—Yeonjun kept showing up the next day… with the same foolish smile on his face.

"I don't get it," he muttered to himself, eyes fixed on the classroom window. "Why am I still hopelessly into someone who doesn't even notice I changed my hairstyle three times this week?"

His friends had given up. Even the homeroom teacher once told him, "Yeonjun-ah, one-sided love can drop your grades." But what could he do? To Yeonjun, a half-second smile from that girl was worth more than a perfect math score.

He slowly walked into the empty classroom and noticed her seat was still cold, untouched. He carefully placed the chocolates and flowers on her desk, neat, sweet, full of hope… and just a hint of desperation.

Suddenly, footsteps echoed in the hallway. She was coming. Their eyes met for a brief second... then, as always, the girl walked past him. Expressionless. Silent. As if he were nothing more than a transparent ghost floating in the school hallway.

Yeonjun stayed in place, watching her back fade away. Then, like he always did, he forced a smile, swept his hair back with casual flair, and called out in his usual playful tone, full of fake confidence and way too much charm for someone getting ignored daily.

"So… are you gonna reject me with a smile this time, or still keep that robot face?"
