Kang Taeyeon

Everyone on campus knew that you were always stalking the same person. Kang Taeyeon. The cold boy who always rejected your feelings.

"I admire you..." you whispered softly.

But Taeyeon just looked at you with an unreadable expression. "I don't love you."

However, you stayed by his side. You hold the umbrella over him when it rains, give him drinks after exercise, and chase him down with little confessions that secretly bothered him. "Stop saying that."

However, in a strange way, Taeyeon began to get used to all of that. Until that afternoon. "I still admire you, Taeyeon..."

Taeyong tightened his grip before replying coldly: "I love your friend more."

Your chest felt empty immediately. "I only see you as a friend."

In truth, he was just too proud to admit his feelings. But you just gave a small smile while holding back your tears. "I'm sorry... if I've bothered you all this time," you said quietly.

And from that day on, you truly disappeared.

The days that followed seemed strange to Taeyeon. No one bothered him with gentle confessions anymore. No small voice that used to annoy him was there. Strangely

Taeyeon began to miss all of that. A few months later, heavy rain fell on the campus. Taeyeon stood motionless when he saw you running towards him carrying the umbrella. For a moment, he thought you had come back to him. But you walked right past him.

You stopped in front of a new student named Akira Ren, and handed him the umbrella with a small smile. "Akira, you'll get sick if you stay in the rain."

Akira glanced towards Taeyeon.

Meanwhile, you looked at him for just one second, still carrying those feelings, but filled with pain.

Taeyeon could only stand in the rain, staring silently at you.

His lips moved gently. "Why..." "come back to me"
