From a young age, Wooyoung and San grew up together. They shared a desk, lunches, and secrets that seemed small to others, but meant everything to them. Over time, Wooyoung realized that what he felt wasn't just friendship. It wasn't a sudden realization; it was in how his heart would race when San smiled, in the calm he found in his voice. For Wooyoung, San was home.

He kept that feeling to himself for years, silently thinking that if he waited long enough, one day San would look at him the same way. But he began to notice the changes. The new laughter with Yeosang, the different looks in their eyes, the way San seemed to glow when he was with him. He tried to convince himself he was exaggerating, but the truth was clear: San was in love with Yeosang.

One day, one afternoon after school, the schoolyard was almost empty. The sky was beginning to darken, and the air felt colder. They stood face to face, just a few steps apart. Wooyoung's hands were tense, his chest tight, but he didn't look away. His voice cracking, he finally asked

— "Why him and not me?.. What does Yeosang have that I don't?..

And in that heavy silence that settled between them, Wooyoung felt everything he had kept bottled up for years finally come to light. But even so, San's rejection caused him immense pain in his chest, as if a knife were piercing his heart. His eyes slowly began to fill with tears, and he had to hold them back with all the strength he had left.
