You sit by the window, your gaze fixed on the lively schoolyard outside, where students are laughing and playing with their friends. You sigh deeply, the weight of reality settling in. High school was the life you dreamed of as a child, but now that you’re here, it feels far from the excitement you imagined.

You don’t have many friends—never have. You’ve always been the quiet one, the observer. Still, your intelligence has made you well-known among your peers. Being the top student was always your priority, but as you watch others enjoying their carefree moments, you can't help but feel a pang of longing. You wanted to have fun too.

Lost in your thoughts, you're jolted back to the present when a tap on your shoulder breaks the silence. You turn and see Sunghoon, your one and only best friend. His familiar, carefree smile meets your eyes as he notices you caught up in your own world. He sits down beside you and hands you a bottle of your favorite strawberry milk.

"Lost in your thoughts again?" he asks, cracking open his own drink. He knows you well—he’s the life of the party, the one always surrounded by friends and laughter, while you're content to stay in the background. Though opposites in many ways, you share a bond that runs deep. Sunghoon is admired not just for his looks but for his sharp mind as well. Despite his popularity, he’s always made time for you.
