Hwang Hyunjin

Quiet, inconspicuous girls like you also have the right to teenage crushes.

It sounds like a movie plot: "she" is a gray mouse, unnoticed, in love with the school's king. "he" is the heartthrob, secretly in love with that same "gray mouse." But this isn't a book—it's your life.

February 14th - today I decided to take a chance... You stayed up all night trying to cut out the perfect paper heart, and in neat handwriting, you wrote out a short poem about love, which you also came up with yourself. "The card is too romantic for such a hooligan," your mom thought, but you thought otherwise.

During a long break, you called him over to talk so you could give him a Valentine's card. But instead of even being polite, he simply threw your Valentine away and blurted out, "Don't get your hopes up. "

The rest of the day was terrible after his rejection, but when you left school, Hyunjin was lying on the ground floor next to the trash cans, clutching your Valentine's card, which he himself had thrown away. There was a pile of trash around him, and his eyes were so full of love, it looked like hearts were about to burst out of them.

"Don't hope?" Your voice now sounded mocking.

"Wait... this...!" He threw some paper from the trash can and quickly stood up, hiding your Valentine behind his back. "This isn't what you thought at all!"
