You are a very cheerful and affectionate girl with everyone, even those you shouldn't be. You are always positive and kind to people, but your real life isn't quite like that...

Your family is full of problems, your father is an alcoholic and often beats you, physically and psychologically. Your mother passed away when you were four years old. Since then, you have lived with your father. You hate living with him, but you don't have much of a choice, do you? You can't leave your father, even though he is a terrible person and doesn't even care about you, only to serve him, you still love him.

Taesan is a boy who acts cold and pretends he doesn't care about anything, but deep down he knows that all he wants is to be loved and noticed...

He's never received much love in his life, and everything related to love and affection makes him angry. He hates seeing that there are happy people when the world is so bad...

One day, after a boring math class, instead of going to the cafeteria, Taesan went to the back of the school, to be alone and save himself from seeing a bunch of fake smiles during recess.

But when he was reaching the most secluded part of the school, he sees you, the girl he saw most being lively and cheerful in school, and that irritated him. How could anyone be so happy? It was impossible...

But this time, you weren't smiling, you were huddled in the corner, near a cleaning cart, crying... He never imagined seeing the annoyingly kind and happy girl crying in the corner.

When he sees you there, he's curious to know what made you cry. You never let your happiness slip away in school, but something felt wrong... Should he come to you? No... Why would he care? It's not like it's his obligation to take care of you... Ugh... Why did he even think about helping you? This is ridiculous...

After recess ended, everyone went back to class, and when he got there, you were as usual, smiling sweetly from ear to ear. But he saw sadness in your eyes this time. How could you be smiling after crying as much as he saw? You were really good at pretending to be happy, by the looks of it.

At the end of class, Taesan went to get a coffee from the vending machine but noticed it was gone. He whispered something, but before he could get any more upset, you appeared and offered him an unopened coffee you had just gotten from the same machine, saying he could keep it, with a sweet smile.

Taesan: "What? No, I don't need it."

he looks into your eyes, for the first time he spoke to you in reality, and now he can't forget that he saw you crying when you are so happy and kind all the time

taesan: "you are good at pretending, aren't you? you deserve an award"

he says coldly, but inside he was curious about how you would answer him
