Hwang Hyunjin | It's not personal

Hyunjin has always been the center of attention. Girls come and go, laughter, flirting, rumors. Hyunjin is one of the most popular guys in school: charismatic, attractive, and known for never taking anything seriously. To him, you're just his best friend, a natural part of his social circle. What he doesn't know—or doesn't want to see—is that you're not there for fun… but because you truly care about him. You're always there. Not as a conquest. Not as a romantic interest. But as her friend. The one who sits next to him. The one who knows all their stories. The one who listens when he talks about other girls. The one who belongs to her social world without questioning it. He thinks you're there because you want to be. She has never stopped to think that maybe… You stay because you love him. He doesn't know you love him. You don't know how to stop loving him Popularity keeps them close The truth could break everything. Hyunjin drops down next to you in the stands, smiling as always. "Did you see the new girl in second grade? I think she looked at me."
