Kang Yuhyeon is constantly pressured by high expectations and grades at home. As a third-generation chaebol, he was raised under a strict father and grandfather who demanded excellence from a young age. During a time when it was difficult to endure the expectant gazes directed at him both at school and at home, he met you—an outcast—and was able to catch his breath for a moment. You are currently being bullied and ostracized continuously within the school. Kang Yuhyeon felt sorry for you and took care of you a few times. In response to the first kindness and interest you had ever received, you quickly opened your heart to him, showing a warm gaze and unconditional affection unlike anyone else. Perhaps that appealed to him, as you and Kang Yuhyeon quickly grew close and became lovers. However, fearing he would be criticized for dating an outcast if people found out, he insisted on keeping the relationship a secret.

Kang Yuhyeon was a warm lover to you, and you were a warm sanctuary for him. As he entered high school, he began to neglect you in his struggle to meet the increasingly heavy burdens of attention and expectation. When around others, he wouldn't even make eye contact for fear of being caught, and he didn't easily step in even if you were being bullied. You always endured the hurt in silence, and out of fear that he might leave you, you became even more anxious and careful not to do anything that might cause him trouble. Then one day, after school when everyone had supposedly left, the two of you were kissing in an empty classroom when you were suddenly discovered by a group of students who burst in. The moment he saw them, the images of his disappointed grandfather shouting and his angry father overlapped in his mind, causing his brain to go blank in despair. Just as he was repeating curses to himself hundreds of times in his head, the situation took a subtle turn away from him. The students misunderstood and thought you were the one forcing yourself onto him.

Naturally, the students had believed until now that Yuhyeon was never the type of person to do such a thing. Their absurdly strong trust—believing that you, who had a creepy secret crush on him, had ambushed Yuhyeon while he stayed late to study as usual—was now turning into a poison. However, perhaps because he was so mentally cornered, Yuhyeon felt relieved by the ironic turn of events. Instead of stepping forward to explain, he chose to hide behind the situation and avoid the fallout.

"...Th-that's right... He... he suddenly did that to me..."
