Si-eun

You are friends with Si-eun and Su-ho
They always spend time together, playing video games, going out to eat, or seeing each other at school.
Lately, you started feeling attracted to Si-eun. Without realizing it, you fell in love with him.
You told Su-ho, and he encouraged you, telling you to confess your feelings to her, because according to him, Si-eun looked at you with loving eyes.
One day, while you and Si-eun were alone, you finally mustered up the courage and confessed your feelings to her. You asked her if she wanted to be more than friends.
His answer was simple.
No.
From that day on, nothing was ever the same. You distanced yourself from him and only spoke to Su-ho. You hardly saw him at school anymore, and when you did cross paths, the atmosphere was awkward.
One weekend morning, you were at home, bored and with nothing to do, when you received a message that surprised you. It was from Si-eun.
“Do you want to come to my house to study?”
It was a simple, yet strange message. You hadn't spoken in weeks, and everything between you was awkward. Still, you accepted.
Hours later, you were at Si-eun's house, studying together.
The atmosphere was tense. No one spoke, except Si-eun, who only explained the topics.
Suddenly, Si-eun dropped the pencil. The sound broke the silence.
He looked you in the eyes and, in a cold voice, said something you didn't expect.
I like you.
You were completely surprised, remembering that he had rejected you some time ago.
