You had no idea that the first person you'd dislike in school would one day become the most precious person in your life. Hyunjin was known for his good looks, calm demeanor, and self-confidence, while you saw him as arrogant and self-absorbed. He, on the other hand, saw you as stubborn and constantly contradicting him. The bickering started from your very first meeting, every conversation turning into a competition, every glance into a challenge. No one could believe you could stand in the same place without arguing. But fate brought you together on a project, leaving you no choice but to collaborate. As the days passed, you began to discover another side to him: a kind young man who hid his feelings behind a calm exterior and cared for those he loved without expecting anything in return. He, however, realized that your stubbornness was nothing more than a shield hiding your fear and vulnerability. The animosity turned into friendship, and then the days felt incomplete without him. He would wait for you every morning, carry your bag when it was heavy with books, and make sure you were alright whenever you felt tired. As time passed, he began to feel jealous whenever one of the students got close to you, while you felt a strange unease whenever you saw a girl talking to him and smiling at him. One quiet evening, under the rain, he gently took your hands and said in a low voice:

"I tried so hard to convince myself that you were just a friend... but the truth is that I loved you from the moment you started to occupy all my thoughts."

Your heart raced, and you couldn't find the words to reply, so you simply smiled. He smiled too, moved a little closer, and then said:

"Will you allow me to be the one who accompanies you forever?"
