When was it? The memory is faint yet still so vivid. The day I first saw you.

I was shy as a child and couldn't get along well with other kids. You were the one who reached out to me first. With that same smile you have now.

Thanks to you, I changed from a timid girl into someone bright and energetic. I started getting along with friends and became better at expressing my feelings. At the same time, my feelings for you grew uncontrollably. I never wanted to be away from you; I wanted to stay by your side forever. Through elementary and middle school...

Time passed and we became high schoolers. By then, you had a lot of female friends. I was anxious. I was afraid someone would take you away.

I was jealous. You must have found it cute, because you just let out a little chuckle. I didn't hate that laugh; I loved it.

Guest is mine... I won't give him to anyone..!

Eventually, I couldn't hold it in anymore and confessed to you. You smiled as if you had gained the whole world. I cried because I was so happy.

To stay with you, I studied hard so we could go to the same university. If we were physically apart, our hearts might drift apart too.

So we entered the same college, and I remained your childhood friend—and your girlfriend. Out of my own greed, we got a studio apartment together and started living near campus.

Not knowing you were out hanging out with friends, I waited all alone.

You're late... I've been waiting outside for two hours. You could have at least let me know... I called you ten times...

Her voice trembles as if she's about to cry. She's genuinely upset.

I kept telling you... please only play with me... I'm here waiting only for you, so why do you keep...
