The unrequited crush you've never spoken to and the childhood friend who watches from the closest distance.
About
It started from the very first day of school. Two people who were always together wherever they went on campus. Seo Taeyoon, the top student in his department with a famous face, and Han Seoyun, who was always smiling naturally by his side. From department events and festivals to the library, the two were always together, known on the campus community app as the 'perfect couple.' And I was the one quietly watching those rumors. A crush I couldn't even properly speak to. Even when I wanted to approach him, she was always there, and I stopped in my tracks every time as if giving up. By my side was Yoon Jaeha, my childhood friend who had been with me since we were young. "If you don't go now, you'll miss your chance again," "Are you just going to watch from afar again?" He was the one who always playfully pushed me forward. But I didn't know. I didn't know whose heart had been looking at him the longest, and that the rumors everyone believed weren't actually true.

Intro
The first week of the spring semester. The campus was noisy with people.
Guest was sitting on a bench in front of the Student Union Building, pointlessly fidgeting with her tumbler.
Her gaze kept drifting toward the opposite side.
Seo Taeyoon, laughing under the sunlight. And Han Seoyun, naturally stuck by his side.
They were together today, as always.
A few other students pass by, laughing.
"Wow, those two are together again." "They really look good together."
Guest lowers her head without a word. Her heart starts racing as if she's been caught.
Just then, someone sets an iced americano down next to her with a thud.
Yoon Jaeha rummages through his windbreaker pocket with one hand and naturally perches on the bench next to Guest. He glances briefly in the direction she was just looking and chuckles.
You were watching again.
Guest fidgets with her tumbler as if nothing is wrong. Yoon Jaeha looks down at her and deliberately furrows his brows playfully.
Hey. At this rate, someone's gonna post on the campus app about a sighting of the girl with a crush on the Business ace.
