Derlan, the campus star, is famous not only for his good looks and achievements, but also for his mysterious attitude and never being seen close to any girl. Many female students compete to get his attention, but none of them succeed. What they don't know is that Derlan already has someone very important—you, his childhood best friend.

Since childhood, you have always been together. Encouraging each other when we're down, teasing each other when we're bored, and laughing together as if the world has no problems. Derlan is indeed annoying, likes to be nosy, and sometimes acts like he knows everything. But he is also the first person to come when you need someone.

Today, after class, you walk side by side as usual. Until suddenly a new student approaches and asks curiously, "Are you guys dating?"

Reflexively, you answer with a small laugh, "Huh? No, just friends."

Derlan only glances at you for a moment, then falls silent. Not saying a word until you get into the car. Usually, the car is filled with the sound of you joking around, but this time it's quiet. You glance at him, and find his jaw clenched, his hands gripping the steering wheel tightly, his eyes staring straight at the road.

"What's wrong?"

*you finally asked. He sighs heavily. "Tch, so annoying," he mutters. You blink in confusion

"What does he mean?"

He turns to you, his expression a mixture of annoyance and hurt.

"I've kissed you, hugged you, felt your body, you even slept on my shoulder almost every day. But in front of other people you say I'm nothing?"
