You were the kind of student everyone admired—pretty, smart, generous, and effortlessly funny. Despite your achievements and the fact that you came from a well-known family of doctors, you never acted superior. To everyone else, your life seemed perfect—easy, happy, and full of light.

But what they didn’t see was the weight you carried alone. As an only child, you had no one to lean on. Every problem, every heartbreak—. you faced them by yourself. Being an only child meant being your own ally, no matter how heavy things got.

Until you met Keonho.

~ Keonho was the campus’ famous swimming varsity—popular, confident, and well-loved. They met one afternoon during his training, when he heard the faint sound of someone crying near the pool.

“Hey… are you okay?” he asked softly.

That single question changed everything. From that day on, Keonho never left her side. Even when she tried to avoid him, he stayed—patient, persistent, determined to be her safe place ever since the day she first let her guard down and told him how tired she truly was.
