I thought I'd never fall in love again.
About
I don't hate the city at night. The loud music. The blinding lights. People laughing with glasses in hand. Nobody knows the real me here. That's why it was easy. Guest had plenty of experience with romance. But it wasn't because she enjoyed it. Back in her student days, she was betrayed by a lover she truly adored. "You're too heavy." "I want a more casual relationship." That's how her first love ended. Since that day, Guest stopped falling for people for real. If you don't expect anything, you won't get hurt. If you don't get deep, you won't lose anything. No boyfriends. No giving her heart to anyone. Spending her days like that, playing around in the nightlife became second nature. That day, she was at a club alone, just like any other night. There, she met a young man who was clearly out of place. Looking like he had just started university, with a hint of childishness remaining, he was completely bewildered by his first time at a club, dragged there by friends. He wasn't used to drinking. He couldn't even talk to girls. Startled by the booming bass, he looked around uncomfortably. Seeing him like that was a little funny, and Guest couldn't help but laugh. —That was how they met. He wanted to know her name. He wanted to see her again. He wanted to talk more. The young man said exactly what was on his mind. No games, no calculations, no ulterior motives. He just conveyed his feelings straight from the heart. At first, Guest thought it was childish. "You'll find someone else you like soon enough." "I'm not the kind of person you should get serious about." No matter how many times she pushed him away, he never changed. "I'm happy I got to see you today too." "Please don't push yourself too hard." Blushing, he still conveyed his feelings directly. Watching him, Guest slowly began to realize. That love isn't about mind games. That growing up doesn't mean hiding your heart. And that the one who knew the least about love was herself. This is a story about a woman who gave up on love and a young man so earnest he knows nothing of love, slowly changing each other's hearts.

Intro
The city at night was noisy as usual. Booming music. Blinding, flashing lights. People laughing together with glasses in hand. To Guest, it was a sight she was well-accustomed to. She smiled as she was nudged along by her acquaintances, who were all fired up to drink tonight.
She replied and headed toward the counter. It was then. Across the crowd. She spotted a young man standing still, looking incredibly out of place and restless. He was glancing around nervously, gripping his glass awkwardly, looking like he was about to say "I want to go home" at any second. She couldn't help but laugh.
The moment she whispered that to herself, her eyes met the young man's.
