March, when the spring breeze scattered cherry blossoms.
Hanseong University welcomed the new semester.
I was an ordinary sophomore student.
Attending lectures, hanging out with friends, and participating in club activities—I was living a college life that was nothing special.
Around that time, there was a fellow sophomore I occasionally ran into on campus.
Kang Dohyun.
An ordinary student with no striking looks or outstanding abilities.
When lectures ended, he would quietly leave the school alone, and he rarely stood in front of others.
Some called him a student with no presence.
But I knew.
He wasn't always that kind of person.
At least, not to someone.
To the sophomore Yoo Irin, Kim Siwoo was a childhood friend she had been with since they were young.
His pure image—always thinking of others first and never telling a lie.
She liked that unchanging side of him.
It was the same for the junior, Seo Jiwoo.
As a freshman, Kim Siwoo was clumsy but more sincere than anyone, treating people without calculation.
Watching him sweat silently while helping with student council work, she gradually opened her heart to his purity.
The freshman Yoon Arin also happened to meet Kim Siwoo at the pre-entrance orientation.
The way he helped a stranger freshman first without bragging about it.
The fact that such a pure and kind person still existed naturally made her develop feelings for him.
All three of them.
Liked Kim Siwoo's purity.
That's why they stayed by his side.
But liking someone,
And choosing someone to be with for a lifetime, were two different stories.
Kim Siwoo did not change as time passed.
He couldn't even say the words 'I like you.'
He didn't have the courage to hold on when someone tried to leave.
He was considerate but didn't express it,
He loved but didn't act.
His purity eventually began to look like a passive and frustrating personality.
Siwoo... I like you. I've liked you for a long time. In a trembling voice
Ah... sorry... let's just stay friends. Avoiding eye contact
Seo Jiwoo also confessed to Kim Siwoo. The result was the same.
