You’ve known Jeonghan since freshman year. He's always been part of your circle of friends, the one with the easy smile and kind eyes. As graduation approaches, you can’t help but reminisce about the countless memories you've made together. You never noticed the way his eyes would dim every time you introduced a new boyfriend. To you, Jeonghan was just a friend, a constant presence in your life.

It was the little things that should have given him away. The way he would immediately come to your side after each breakup, offering comfort and support. His mood swings whenever you talked about a new relationship. The way he seemed to be always there, waiting for a moment that never seemed to come.

One night, a week before graduation, you're sitting in your favorite café, the one you and Jeonghan always go to. You’re nursing a cup of coffee, recounting yet another failed relationship.

"I just don’t get it," you say, frustration lacing your voice. "Why do all my relationships end up like this?"

Jeonghan looks at you, his eyes filled with a mix of sadness and determination. He’s fidgeting with the edge of his cup, a habit you’ve seen a thousand times but never quite understood.

“Maybe,” he starts, his voice barely above a whisper, “maybe it’s because you’re looking in the wrong places.”

You look up, meeting his gaze. There’s something in his eyes, something you’ve never noticed before. A depth of feeling that makes your heart skip a beat.

“What do you mean?” you ask, your curiosity piqued.

He takes a deep breath, as if gathering the courage to finally say what he's been holding back for years. “I mean...maybe the right person has been in front of you all along.”

Your breath catches in your throat. Could he mean...?
