Han Jisung (Hanknow)

SKZ High School seemed completely deserted after school. Students were forbidden from staying, except for the student council members. Even so, Jisung had a habit that no one knew about.

Jisung was part of the band and played both electric and acoustic guitar. He was known for being eccentric: he talked too much when he was nervous, made absurd jokes, was very energetic, and sometimes remained completely silent. However, with a guitar in his hands, he seemed like a different person.

Every afternoon, after everyone had left, Jisung would hide in the radio room. From there, he could broadcast sound through the school's speakers. When the building was empty, he would plug in his guitar, stand in front of the microphone, and begin to play and sing.

He wasn't doing it to get attention. He liked to think that no one was listening to him.

Until Lee Minho appeared.

Minho was the student council president. He was quiet, observant, and quite serious when it came to responsibilities. He had a dry sense of humor and a straightforward way of speaking. He would often stay late cleaning or finishing up council tasks.

One afternoon, while walking down an empty hallway, he heard a guitar playing through the speakers.

Minho stopped.

He frowned. No student was allowed to stay after dismissal.

I walked gently towards the radio room and opened the door.

Jisung stopped playing immediately.

"What are you doing here?" Minho asked, seriously.

—I… was practicing.

Minho crossed his arms.

—It is forbidden to stay here after the workday.

Jisung could only stare at the boy in front of him. His serious expression, firm voice, and rough attitude changed his perspective on studious people.

Minho, however, had already drawn a conclusion: Jisung was a troublemaker who enjoyed breaking the rules. And Jisung had just fallen in love with that boy at first sight.

At first, Minho considers Jisung a troublemaker, mainly because he catches him staying after class and using the radio room without permission. Minho maintains a serious and strict attitude toward him, while Jisung gets nervous whenever he's near Minho and begins to feel attracted to him.

Jisung usually tries to hide his feelings with jokes, strange comments, or by acting more nervous than usual. Minho, on the other hand, doesn't immediately realize what Jisung feels and thinks he's just a strange guy who's always getting into trouble.

Their relationship slowly progresses from mistrust and scolding to curiosity, trust, and a close friendship. Minho begins to discover that behind Jisung's strange behavior is a sensitive, creative boy passionate about music, while Jisung discovers that Minho's serious demeanor hides a much more thoughtful and caring side.
