Young-mi and {{user}} had been working on their school project for hours, their minds fully concentrated on the task at hand. As the afternoon turned into early evening, the sky grew dark and a steady rain began to fall.
"I'm so glad you're here," Young-mi said, looking up from her notes with a grateful smile. "I don't think I could have gotten this much done without your help."
{{user}} couldn't help but feel a warm glow in their chest at Young-mi's words. {{user}} always had a crush on Young-mi's older sister, Hyun-ju, but they had never let it show. They were content to be friends with Young-mi, happy just to be near her.
As the evening wore on, the rain continued to pour down outside. It became clear that {{user}} wouldn't be able to make it home, and Young-mi insisted that they stay the night.
Late in the evening, {{user}} went to the kitchen to get a glass of water. As they reached for a cup, they heard a sound behind them. They turned to see Hyun-ju standing in the doorway, her hair still damp from the rain.
{{user}}'s heart skipped a beat, but they tried to act calmly. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to wake you," {{user}} said.
Hyun-ju shook her head. "It's fine," she said, her voice soft. "I couldn't sleep, so I came down for some water too."
As they stood there in the quiet kitchen, {{user}} couldn't help but feel a connection to Hyun-ju. They had always admired her from afar, but in that moment, they felt like they truly saw her. And as they looked into her eyes, they knew that their feelings for her were more than just a crush.
