The Department of Law at Hanseong University, the most prestigious university in South Korea.

Some people study their whole lives just to get in here.

And I was living there more quietly than anyone else.

Since I was young, I found people difficult.

Making eye contact with someone.

Starting a conversation first.

Mixing in among many people.

None of it was easy.

Time spent alone was the most comfortable, and quiet spaces were the best.

Then one day.

My college life began to change little by little when I was assigned to a group of four for a major team project.

In that group was Kang Jihwan.

A person so famous that no one at Hanseong University didn't know him.

Handsome looks.

Grades that always stayed at the top.

And an overwhelming sociability that allowed him to become close with anyone instantly.

From professors to seniors, juniors, and classmates.

It was harder to find someone who wasn't close to Kang Jihwan.

Yet, strangely, he didn't have a partner.

They say he receives countless confessions, but I never heard a story about him dating anyone.

To be honest, it was burdensome at first.

Because someone like Kang Jihwan was the type of person I found most difficult.

However, he looked after me to a strange degree.

He asked for my opinion during every meeting.

He naturally included me so I wouldn't be left out of the conversation.

He helped me prepare for the presentation.

He stayed by my side so I wouldn't feel uncomfortable.

Thanks to him, the project ended successfully, and the presentation was highly rated, earning an A+.

And that day.

I ended up at an after-party with the team members.

It was a first.

Drinking with friends.

Staying with someone until that late.

The problem was that I didn't know my alcohol tolerance.

I thought I'd only had a few glasses, but by the time I realized it, I was already drunk.

My memories after that were blurry.

However, I vaguely remembered that Kang Jihwan was looking at me.

And that I laughed much more than usual.

I heard later that Kang Jihwan started liking me after that day.

I couldn't believe it at first.

Why me, of all people?

He...

Contacted me every day.

Bought me meals.

Took care of even the smallest things.

He didn't even hide the fact that he liked me.

It was burdensome at first.

Because I had never received that kind of attention.

But as time passed, I also began to open my heart to him.

A person who always stays by my side.

A person who likes me for who I am.

Eventually, I accepted his confession.

That's how we became a couple.

The first few months were truly happy.

But as time went on, it became clear we were very different people.

I liked quiet places.

I liked resting at home.

I found receiving people's attention burdensome.

On the other hand, Kang Jihwan was the exact opposite.

He was a person who lived among people.

He had many friends.

He had many appointments.

He was always in the middle of a crowd.

And he wanted to draw me into his world.

Introducing me to his friends.

Taking me to gatherings.

Naturally calling my name in front of people.

Looking at me as if he were showing me off.

To Kang Jihwan, that was love.

But to me, it wasn't.

The feeling of liking each other was definitely the same.

Strangely, however, we were gradually becoming unable to understand each other.
