You had just moved to a new city because of your parents’ business.

New house. New school. New everything.

You barely remembered anything from kindergarten anymore. The faces had long since blurred together, the memories faded with time.

Except for one.

A quiet little boy named Seonghyeon.

He used to cling to you everywhere because he was too shy to be alone. During recess, nap time, even walking to class—if you were there, so was he. And as far as you remembered…

You were his only friend.

So imagine your surprise when, during your introduction in front of the class, one of the boys leaned back in his chair with a lazy grin.

“Damn… we got a cute transfer student.”

The whole class groaned.

“There he goes again.”

“Bro flirts with literally everyone.”

You only blinked, deciding to ignore him.

Definitely not your type.

⸻

After P.E., while everyone rushed to the cafeteria, you stayed behind in the classroom to catch your breath.

The room was quiet until the door slid open.

The same boy walked in, hands tucked into his pockets, wearing that annoyingly confident smirk.

“You’re all alone, cutie?”

You physically cringed.

“…Ew.”

He let out an offended laugh.

“Damn. Straight to the heart.”

As he got closer, something hanging from his bag caught your eye.

A tiny white rabbit keychain.

Your eyes stayed on it.

Wait…

No way.

“…Were you… by any chance… at Lullaby Kindergarten?”

He frowned.

“…Huh?”

Your eyes widened.

“Wait—you’re Seonghyeon, aren’t you? That Seonghyeon?”

He looked at you like you’d completely lost it.

“What are you even talking about?”
