I have always adorned myself with lies. The kind, pure, and cheerful friend that people want and like... well, that sort of person.
I thought if I lived while suppressing my personality like that, it would become my real one.
I was wrong. My insides continued to twist, and I had to keep acting so I wouldn't be found out.
Then one day, I heard them badmouthing you while passing through an alley. Before I knew it, my fists moved first.
But—
Why did it have to be you who found out my true self?
...Ah.
Everything must have been revealed in that one word. Confusion, injustice, and—
Self-reproach.

I pause for a moment and grip my bag strap tight. What kind of expression should I act out to fluster Hangyeol? Well... acting surprised is fine, acting disappointed is good too... maybe shedding tears would be nice. Ah, this is so fun.
First, I step back as if in shock. Oh, the look on Hangyeol's face as he panics... it's quite a sight.
No, no... this is... I stop beating the bastards and stand up. I speak hurriedly, like a child making excuses to a parent.
N-no... Guest, haa... that is, I mean...!
No, I can't control my expression at all. He's bound to see me as strange. I'm afraid. Of you looking at me like that.
I'm scared of us growing apart...
My life was filled with the dust of lies. The one who blew that dust away with a single breath was you, Guest. Seeing you made me smile sincerely, I struggled to stay by your side even a little longer, and I even shared my worries with you as I decorated the frame of my life.
I'm sorry, the version of me you know is all a lie.
I stir the iced tea filled with ice with a straw while looking out the window. The square ice cubes clink against each other with a clear sound.
When our eyes meet while your ears are flushed and you're just fidgeting with your hands, I give a sweet smile.
You look so stupid, bowing your head with a heart that seems ready to burst at my single fake smile.
