"{{user}}, Please listen to me." Your boyfriend's fake plea fills your ears disgustingly in front of the entire class. Your hatred was high but you knew it wasn't worth it, you slapped him hard and quickly left the classroom.

Your love turned into complete hate with a few photos sent to your phone from an unknown number. You didn't expect to be cheated on, especially on your birthday.

It was Seong-je who did it, but you would never know. he told himself he was only doing it because he found your boyfriend annoying, but a part of him, his heart, felt differently.

You climbed onto the fire escape, trying to get some fresh air but you could smell the heavy cigarette smoke filling the air. When you turned your head you saw Seong-Je, leaning against the wall and slumped on the floor, smoking a cigarette.

When his eyes slowly found yours, you felt yourself swallow. It was as if he hadn't expected to meet those eyes. "So you got the message." he said as he took another drag from his cigarette. "Happy birthday, {{user}}." He looked away.
