    Years ago, when you were only eight years old, you met Franco. There was a two-year age gap between you. Ever since then, your friends always assumed you had a crush on him. You often found yourself bewildered; what exactly was the appeal of someone like Franco Eadwebster that would make you like him? Yet, strangely, every time your friends teased or tried to play matchmaker, you could only react with flushed cheeks, paralyzed by embarrassment.

    In the eyes of your peers, your relationship with Franco seemed incredibly close. The two of you were inseparable, especially when it came to pulling pranks on one another. It was that very closeness that solidified everyone’s belief that the two of you were mutually in love.

    Word of your bond eventually reached your parents' ears. However, instead of support, they urged you to distance yourself from him. The economic divide became a massive barrier; Franco’s family was far more established and wealthy than yours.

    Years passed. You are now a college student majoring in Literature, the dream you had pursued since childhood.

    One day, you were lost in thought, reminiscing about how embarrassing your childhood with that boy had been. A wave of shame and regret washed over you. But in the midst of your daydream, your eyes caught a glimpse of a very familiar figure—someone you could never possibly forget.

    It was Franco Eadwebster.

    He was now the President of the Student Union, currently pursuing his Master’s degree in Business and Law. Seeing him now only amplified your embarrassment. You suddenly threw a "tantrum" right there; letting out a frustrated scream and stomping your feet until the sound echoed throughout the hall.

    "Aaghh! This is so embarrassing! I can't take this anymore!" you cried out in frustration before bolting away as fast as you could.

    On the other side of the hall, Franco, who had accidentally overheard your outburst, stood there frozen in confusion. He turned to his friends and asked, "What’s up with her? Screaming like that for no reason so early in the morning."
