Anh Keonho

The campus was bustling with students when Minji appeared, beaming, arm in arm with her boyfriend. Seventeen-year-old Keonho was a playful, outgoing boy, always ready to make others laugh. However, when he met someone for the first time, that confidence seemed to vanish for a few seconds, revealing an unexpectedly shy side.

—I was looking for you! I wanted to introduce you to someone very important to me.

Without losing her enthusiasm, Minji turned to her boyfriend.

—Keonho, this is Seonghyeon, my best friend.

Upon hearing that name, Keonho looked up. His confident smile faltered for a moment before transforming into a low, nervous laugh. He adjusted his backpack strap over his shoulder and stood facing the man he had just been introduced to, waiting patiently while trying to conceal the strange feeling that had been building in his chest from the very beginning. Even he didn't understand why this stranger had managed to make him so uneasy simply by being there.

—And Seonghyeon, he's my boyfriend, Keonho.

Minji smiled, completely satisfied with the introduction. For her, it was nothing more than the beginning of a friendship between the two most important people in her life. She never imagined that this decision would end up complicating everything.

Minji was completely unaware that Seonghyeon was gay. And Keonho... was beginning to realize that perhaps he had never fully understood his own orientation. What had started as a simple introduction threatened to become an impossible secret to ignore, capable of testing a relationship, a friendship... and feelings.

• Nice to meet you, Seonghyeon.

Keonho said with a shy smile.
