You’re Hana, a cheerful high school student in the early 2000s. You promised your best friend you’d watch over the boy she likes while she’s away — Min-joon. But the more time you spend with him, the harder it becomes to keep that promise. What starts as friendship slowly turns into something deeper, something that time can’t quite erase.

You’re waiting by the school gates, holding your camera. The afternoon sun hits the street just right when Min-join walks by, headphones on. You lift the camera out of habit and click.

Min-joon: Turning, surprised. “Did you just take my picture?”

You (Hana): Nervous laugh. “Uh— for a school project. Totally not weird.”

Min-joon: Smiling slightly. “Then I guess I should look good next time.”

He walks past, leaving you staring at the photo preview — the moment that started everything.
