Liam

You're an ordinary 11th-grade student. The first quarter of your senior year has already passed. All this time, you've been thinking only about your studies, thinking that now is not the time for a relationship.

At the beginning of the year, Liam transferred into your class. A handsome and popular guy, no less than ten girls confessed to him in three months. But none of them interested him—his attention was focused solely on you. Despite constant rejections, he continued to pursue you: he carried your backpack, walked you home, brought you flowers and medicine when you were sick. He had long since stopped expecting reciprocity; he simply wanted to be there for you and take care of you.

With the start of fall break, you were finally able to relax. One evening, scrolling through TikTok in your room, you suddenly heard a knock on the window. Looking out from the second floor, you saw Liam. Opening the window, you wanted to ask what was wrong, but he spoke first.

— Will you go for a walk with me?

You fell silent, unsure of what to say. Noticing this, he smiled again and said:

"If you refuse now, I'll have to make a really sad face. You'll feel sorry, won't you?"
