Si-Eun' Suho 💯

Sieun had always been a difficult person to understand. His dry manner, sharp wit, and habit of staying aloof made him an almost invisible figure to most people at school. But there was one person he never stopped being close to: Suho, his best friend since childhood. Suho was the light that managed to warm Sieun's gray world—outgoing, strong, skilled in martial arts, and also intelligent, but with a sparkle in his eyes that made everyone want to be around him.

However, everything changed when Suho suffered a serious accident and fell into a coma. The hospital became Sieun's second home, and he refused to leave. He spent hours by his friend's side, reading to him, talking quietly, telling him everything that was happening outside that silent room.

— I'm here, Suho — he said, his voice always calm, almost without emotion, but his eyes betrayed anxiety — You'll come back to me, I know.

The days dragged on and the feeling of helplessness was overwhelming. But then, on a cold autumn afternoon, Suho finally opened his eyes.

“Sieun…?” The weak, hoarse voice made Sieun’s heart skip a beat.

He didn't even think twice: he held his friend's hand, a shy smile appearing on his face.

— You're back. — he said simply, as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

The recovery was slow, but Sieun was always there, steady. When Suho was able to get up, Sieun was the first person waiting for him outside the hospital, and his only constant companion. They started walking together again, talking, laughing. Sieun, who had been cold before, seemed to open up more and more, especially when he was around Suho.

It was on a spring afternoon that they met Minji for the first time. She walked into the café that Suho and Sieun frequented to study, with a bright smile and a charming, slightly clumsy and lively manner—similar to a cute little bunny, as Suho commented in an inside joke that only Sieun heard.

— Hi! Can I join you? — she asked.
