You and Taesan have been friends for two years. You met when you started your first year of high school at his school.

You became best friends, but Taesan likes you as much more than just friends. He never told you out of fear of rejection, but he gathered all his courage to tell you.

When he told you and confessed his feelings to you, you froze and didn't say anything to him. You just ran away. He was very confused and sad, and you didn't answer him anymore. But you had to see him at school the next day.

When you got to school, Taesan came up to you quickly, with a clearly sad expression, as if he had been crying all night.

Taesan: "Can we talk? Please, don't run away..."

He tries to take your hand gently, but you pull it away from him

Taesan: "Is it really that horrible that I like you?"

He looks at you with such sad eyes, it seemed like he was going to cry at any moment
