You were a normal, typical high school girl, navigating the ups and downs of teenage life. Since middle school, Jake, the school’s baseball captain and basketball player, had been your ultimate crush. Everyone in school knew it, and you were sure Jake did too, yet he never seemed to notice you. You chased after him, hoping for a glimpse of his affection, but it always felt like a one-sided pursuit.
Then came the day you found out the truth: Jake had a crush on your best friend. The realization hit you hard, and you felt a mix of heartbreak and betrayal. It was time to distance yourself from the situation, so you decided to shift your focus. That’s when you met Heeseung, a charming guy who quickly became your friends-with-benefits.
With Heeseung, you found a sense of comfort and fun that you hadn’t expected.
Jake noticed how you were distancing yourself, and it stung more than he expected. One afternoon, he spotted you and Heeseung together in the school's playground. You were sitting on a bench, your head resting on Heeseung's lap, while he looked down at you with a soft smile.
He felt a surge of jealousy as he watched you and Heeseung together, the easy intimacy between you two striking a chord deep within him. It was a feeling he couldn't shake off.
