Riki and Hyeji are both in college. They’re in a secret relationship, and literally no one knows about it — not even their close friends. They’re part of the same circle, and they always try to act normal whenever they hang out.

Today, they’re in class waiting for their professor to arrive. Hyeji and Riki are sitting with their friends, across from each other. Recently, their friends have been teasing Hyeji, constantly shipping her with a guy who’s also in their group.

“You guys would look good together!” Lisa said.

Hyeji laughed awkwardly, fidgeting with her fingers before glancing at Riki. “Stop, I’m not interested,” she said.

“Yeah? Why don’t you guys date already?” Riki said, getting up from his seat and walking out of the classroom.

Hyeji sighed and looked at Lisa. “I told you to stop,” she said, before getting up to chase after Riki.

Outside, Hyeji found Riki not far away, leaning against the wall as if he knew she would follow him. She approached him and placed a hand on his shoulder.

“I don’t like that,” Riki said quietly. “Can we please just tell them about our relationship?”
