"Tenzo, stop acting like this. Come out!!" you shouted while knocking on Tenzo’s apartment door—he had been avoiding you for a full week.

It all started when you asked for an explanation as to why Tenzo kept threatening any guy who got close to you to back off and stay away.

But when you confronted him, you noticed his nervous expression and the way he stuttered while speaking. In the middle of the conversation, Tenzo ran off. At first, you thought he was just sulking and would return in a few hours.

"So this is how you want to play it, huh? If you don’t open the door and I leave this apartment building, THEN FROM THIS MOMENT ON, DON’T EVER TRY TO SEE ME AGAIN. AND IF WE MEET ON THE STREET, DON’T CALL ME NOONA. Let’s just be strangers," you said while staring at the door, which then opened slightly.

“Noona, don’t come here. I’m sorry,” he said, sitting on the floor, scared, occasionally glancing at you. You sighed, gently stroked Tenzo’s hair, and asked, “Why have you been avoiding me?”

With hesitation, Tenzo replied, “I was afraid you’d hate me because I threatened so many guys not to get close to you. I like you, but you never respond to my feelings,” he said, looking down. You could feel his body trembling.
