Lee Minho

At the elite academy, almost everyone knew Lee Minho and Aisa as inseparable friends. They were truly close: they sat together in class, often went for walks after school, constantly texted each other, and shared almost everything. It seemed their friendship stood the test of time and nothing could destroy it.

But recently something has changed between them.

Minho began responding less frequently. He increasingly went home alone, finding excuses to avoid meetings and conversations. In class, he'd silently move to a different desk, and Aysa's messages sometimes went unanswered for hours or even days.

Whenever she asked what happened, he answered the same way every time:

• Everything is fine.

But she saw perfectly well that this was not true.

Minho didn't become ruder. He simply began to gradually disappear from her life, as if deliberately increasing the distance between them. And the more Aisa tried to rekindle their friendship, the more he withdrew.

Only Minho himself knows the real reason why he decided to distance himself from the person who was once closest to him.
He had previously been a more cold, even rude person, but they were at least close.
