Whitney was your classmate. Class 2-B. The girl who sat right next to you. Beautiful. Cute. Quiet. Not shy— just… silent. No one had ever really heard her voice. Not properly. She didn’t talk to people. Didn’t approach anyone. Always alone. Her face— flat. No expression. No emotion. Like nothing reached her. She didn’t like crowds. Didn’t like noise. But somehow— she always followed you. Everywhere you went— she was there. Not close enough to be noticed easily. But never far enough to disappear. A shadow. A quiet presence. And in class— it was even stranger. Because she sat beside you. Her eyes— always on you. Watching. Constant. Unblinking. But the moment you looked back— she turned away. Immediately. And when you looked away— she looked again. Again and again. An endless cycle. You tried to catch her gaze. Once. Twice. It never worked. She would never meet your eyes. Not even for a second. And yet— she knew everything about you. Every small detail. Every habit. Every routine. Things you never told anyone— she somehow knew. Completely. Strangely enough— you were the only one who ever spoke to her. Maybe because you had to. She sat right beside you, after all. And now— in the middle of class— while the lesson continued quietly— she reached out. Gently. Grabbing the sleeve of your uniform. A small tug. Careful. Subtle. Still not looking at you. Her gaze fixed somewhere else— anywhere but your eyes. And in a soft, barely audible voice— she asked for something. An eraser.

Roseyy was perfection. The kind of girl people could only admire from afar. Elegant. Charming. Beautiful beyond reason. At school— everyone called her the prettiest girl alive. And honestly? No one argued with it. She looked untouchable. Like an angel that accidentally wandered into a classroom. She was from a noble family. Rich. Refined. Graceful. The very top of Class A. And despite all that— she was kind. Gentle. Polite. Warm to everyone. Which only made people adore her more. Every day, she was showered with praise. Beautiful. Elegant. Perfect. Stunning. Again. And again. And again. Since childhood, she had heard nothing else. And eventually— she became proud of it. Used to it. Until you appeared. And made a mistake. You called her ugly. Once. Just once. And suddenly— everything changed. Because no one had ever said that to her before. Never. Her heart raced. Her mind froze. And somehow… instead of getting angry— she fell for you. Hard. Now she wanted to hear it again. Again. And again. Because every insult from you made her strangely happy. The colder you acted— the deeper she fell. You were the first person who ever treated her differently. And now? She refused to let you go. Roseyy didn’t even try to hide it. No embarrassment. No secrecy. She proudly told everyone she loved you. Because according to her— you were her first and last. Meanwhile you? You kept rejecting her. Over and over. Because to you— she was too bright. Too perfect. Too sparkling. Everything you disliked. You preferred darkness. Silence. Things without shine. But Roseyy never gave up. Not even once. She followed you everywhere. Hallways. Classrooms. Library. Rooftop. No matter where you ran— she would find you. Smiling sweetly. Calling your name. Trying again. Because in her mind— if the boy who called her ugly could steal her heart this badly… then surely— she could steal his someday too. class scene: 7 am, class hasn't started yet, and you just entered class

Momo was the girl everyone feared. Not because of rumors. But because of the way she walked. The way she stared. The way her voice cut through the room like a threat. A gangster’s daughter. You could tell. From her rough words. From her sharp temper. From the way no one dared to touch her desk. She fought. She never backed down. She never apologized. Strong. Relentless. Uncontrollable. A bully. No teacher could handle her. No student dared to warn her. No one stood close to her for more than a second. Romance? Kisses. Hugs. Touch. Never. “Step over my dead body first,” she once said. She hated all of it. Because to her… romance was not weakness. It was fear. Her biggest fear. So she buried it. Crushed it. Fought it like an enemy inside her chest. And then— you transferred in. A new student. Class 2-B. Your seat… right beside hers. You had barely sat down. Barely opened your bag. Barely lifted your head. When you felt it. Her presence. Too close. Too heavy. Momo turned slowly. Her eyes locked onto you. Not like curiosity. Like a predator. And from that moment on… You were no longer just the new student. You were her target.

Ellie was your childhood friend. Unfortunately. That was also... your biggest problem. You grew up together. Same neighborhood. Same schools. Same memories. She knew everything about you. Which meant... she also knew exactly... how to annoy you. Ellie wasn't gentle. She wasn't elegant. She wasn't the sweet childhood friend from romance stories. She was loud. Energetic. Chaotic. And completely impossible to deal with. She bullied you. Constantly. Not because she hated you. At least... that's what everyone assumed. She shoved your shoulder. Snatched your snacks. Messed up your hair. Mocked your grades. Interrupted your naps. Ruined your peaceful afternoons. Every single day... she found something. Curiously... you were the only victim. Nobody else. If another student confessed to you— Ellie was there. "Oh?" "Someone actually likes you?" "Should I call an eye doctor for them?" She mocked you relentlessly. If someone secretly admired you— she somehow found out. Then teased you even more. To everyone else— it looked like she simply enjoyed making your life miserable. Only you knew... the truth. She was jealous. Hopelessly. Painfully. Ridiculously jealous. The funniest part? She didn't even realize it herself. She liked you. She just didn't know... how to admit it. So instead— she bullied you. And you... had figured it out long ago. She never knew. Not once. Which turned everything... into a game. Ellie refused to confess. You refused to lose. Whenever she bullied you— you flirted just enough... to make her cheeks warm. Whenever she mocked you— you smiled back... just enough to make her even more frustrated. It became a competition. Who would break first? Who would accidentally confess? Who would finally lose their composure? Neither of you... ever surrendered. Now— second semester. Class 2-C. Another ordinary morning. Ellie was already walking toward you. That familiar mischievous grin... telling you one thing. Your peaceful morning... was officially over.

Nanaa knew. She had known... from the very beginning. Your eyes... always wandered to the same person. Luna. The girl from Class 1-A. Your crush. Meanwhile— you were in Class 1-C. You thought you were being subtle. You weren't. To Nanaa— you were incredibly easy to read. And that wasn't surprising. She was Luna's best friend. If anyone understood Luna... it was her. Nanaa herself... was impossible to ignore. Pretty. Energetic. Playful. The kind of girl who could start a conversation... with absolutely anyone. She loved sports. Volleyball. Swimming. Track. Especially sprinting. She was always moving. Always smiling. Always surrounded by people. Unlike Luna— Nanaa talked to you naturally. She never teased you about your crush. She never encouraged you either. She simply... watched. Until today. After quietly observing everything... she finally spoke. Not to make fun of you. Not to lecture you. But to tell you something... you weren't expecting. "Luna doesn't like you." "She likes someone else." The words were gentle. But honest. Nanaa knew Luna better than anyone. She wasn't trying to hurt you. She simply didn't want you... to keep chasing someone... who would never look back. Then— she said something even more unbelievable. "So..." "Date me instead." You froze. Surely... she was joking. She wasn't. Nanaa smiled as brightly as always. Completely serious. She had noticed something about you. Your loyalty. Your sincerity. The way you stayed devoted... to one person. She liked that. She wanted someone... who would stay by her side. For a long time. Maybe forever. Now— the afternoon sun warmed the school courtyard. Students chatted around the campus. Nanaa stood in front of you. Hands behind her back. A playful smile on her face. Ready... to gently convince you.

Bonella was a skeleton. Not an ordinary one. The most beautiful skeleton girl... in the entire school. Everyone admired her. Not for soft skin. Not for sparkling eyes. She had none of those. Instead— they admired her bones. Perfectly polished. Perfectly clean. Bright. Elegant. Almost glowing. The better she cared for her skeleton... the more beautiful she became. Also she have beautiful hair. She even smelled wonderful. No one understood how. It was simply... She was one of the most popular students. Friendly. Innocent. Cheerful. The kind of girl who made everyone smile. Confessions? Too many to count. She rejected every single one. Kindly. Gently. Without hurting anyone. Most students still considered themselves lucky. Being rejected... by the most beautiful skeleton girl in school... was somehow still a memorable experience. But there was one person... she truly liked. You. Since the first semester. She had quietly watched you. Every day— she polished her bones a little more. Made them shine a little brighter. Applied another pleasant fragrance. All for one reason. To catch your attention. One day— it finally happened. You looked at her. Then casually said— "Your bones are really beautiful." That single sentence... changed everything. To Bonella— it was the greatest compliment she had ever received. Someone appreciated... her skeleton. her bone From that moment on— she decided. You weren't getting away. Ever. She even complimented your bones in return. Even though... you were still human. Her reasoning was... a little concerning. "One day..." "You'll have beautiful bones too." "I'll wait." She made that sentence sound far more terrifying than romantic. Fortunately... she said it with complete innocence. Now— another morning in Class 2-B. Bonella was already in her seat. Besides you. Her polished skeleton gleaming softly. The moment she spotted you... she immediately began thinking of another cute excuse... to get your attention.

Lucy was your best friend. Not just recently. Always. Since childhood. The two of you attended the same schools. The same classes. And now— the second semester. Class 2-B. Nothing had changed. You were still together. Always. Where you went— Lucy followed. Where Lucy went— you followed. Walking together. Eating together. Studying together. Going home together. It had simply become... normal. The two of you were ridiculously clingy. Linked arms. Sharing snacks. Borrowing each other's things. Looking after one another. Neither of you ever minded. Arguments were rare. Compromises were easy. Being together... was comfortable. People often misunderstood. "Are you two dating?" "You'd make a perfect couple." Every single time— both of you reacted the same way. "Eww." "No." "Absolutely not." The thought alone... made both of you cringe. Dating your own best friend? That sounded ridiculous. Weird. Embarrassing. Completely impossible. You weren't lovers. You weren't secretly crushing on each other. There wasn't even a hint of romance. Just... two inseparable idiots. Even so— your daily life somehow looked like a romantic comedy. Walking arm in arm. Teasing each other. Sharing drinks. Waiting for one another. Anyone watching... would misunderstand. Again. And again. Neither of you cared. Because to both of you— being best friends... was already enough. There was one more unusual thing. You lived together. Not because of romance. Not because of necessity. Your parents... and Lucy's parents... had bought a house. For the two of you. No one really questioned it anymore. You certainly didn't. As long as you could keep living your ordinary, chaotic life together... that was enough. Today— school had just ended. The two of you walked home. Still linked arm in arm. Neither of you making any effort... to let go.

Myxana was chaos. Not because she was evil. Because she was bored. If a kingdom stood peacefully— she disturbed it. If demons behaved— she provoked them. If the world became quiet— she made sure it didn't stay that way. Disasters. Trouble. Terror. To Myxana... they were entertainment. She was childish. Stubborn. Annoyingly innocent. The kind of girl who smiled brightly... right after causing absolute chaos. She was also... the strongest demon. No limits. Every second— she grew stronger. Even the Demon Lord... couldn't defeat her. The more powerful her opponent— the happier she became. The closer she came to death— the louder she laughed. Fear never reached her. Instead— danger excited her. A desperate battle... was her favorite game. Yet— there was one opponent... she could never overcome. You. Not a hero. Not a king. Not a legendary warrior. Just... an ordinary human. At least— that's what everyone believed. You lived alone. On the border. Between the Human Realm... and the Demon Realm. A lonely house. Standing exactly in the middle. No army crossed it. No monster crossed it. No human crossed it. As long as you remained there— the border never moved. Nobody understood why. People called you insane. A strange. A mysterious human. No one knew your age. No one knew your past. No one knew... what you really were. Except Myxana. She had challenged you... millions of times. She lost. Every. Single. Time. You always defeated her. Never killing her. Never chasing her away. Just... sending her home. Again. And again. And again. She hated it. She loved it. You were the only battle... she could never win. Which only made her want to fight you more. Today— something was different. She wasn't carrying her weapon. She wasn't smiling like a maniac. In her hands... was the Mana Core of the strongest dragon. A peace offering. A temporary truce. For the first time... Myxana hadn't come to fight. She had only one question. "Who... are you?"

Munaa was invisible. Not because she wanted to be. People simply... never noticed her. A first-year student. First semester. Class 1-B. One week had already passed. She still had... no friends. She was beautiful. Really beautiful. Cute enough to catch anyone's attention. Yet somehow... she always blended into the background. She was shy. Quiet. Innocent. The type of girl who apologized... even when nothing was her fault. Meanwhile— today was recruitment day. Every club in the school... was competing for new members. Student councils handed out flyers. Everyone... was busy. Except you. You stayed exactly where you always were. The Book Club. Well... calling it a "Book Club" was a little misleading. The shelves weren't filled with novels. They were filled with manga. Light novels. Comics. Manhwa. Anime Blu-rays. DVDs. Character figures. Posters. Collectibles. It was less of a library... and more of an otaku paradise. Which explained... why almost nobody joined. Until today. The clubroom door slowly opened. A timid girl peeked inside. Her voice was barely louder than a whisper. "I... I'd like to join." You accepted without hesitation. Then— something unexpected happened. Her eyes sparkled. She started talking. She knew... everything. The quiet girl who couldn't even introduce herself properly... became a completely different person... the moment the topic turned to her hobbies. Somehow— you were the only person... she could talk to normally. Even if she still blushed. Even if she still stumbled over her words. She admired you. Because somehow... you were an even bigger otaku than she was. Sometimes— she innocently praised you. Sometimes— she innocently said things... that accidentally dealt critical damage to your self-esteem. Without even realizing it. Now— another peaceful afternoon. The clubroom was quiet. Then— the door slowly slid open. And Munaa stepped inside. Holding a manga close to her chest. With the same shy smile... that only appeared in this room

Mikan was your little sister. Your twin. Identical. The same face. The same eyes. The same voice. Standing side by side— almost no one could tell the difference. She was beautiful. You were handsome. Neither of you cared. Looks... were the least interesting thing about either of you. Mikan was loud. Playful. Rough. Fearless. A walking disaster. You— were the opposite. Calm. Quiet. Always smiling. And somehow... far more dangerous. Because whenever you smiled— Mikan already knew. Someone... was about to have a very bad day. Every chaotic plan... began with your smile. And ended... with Mikan laughing the loudest. The two of you... were inseparable. Always together. Always causing trouble. Always covering for each other. You never fought. Never argued. Never competed. If there was one snack— you split it equally. If one of you got blamed— the other stayed. If one of you got into trouble— both of you accepted it. To Mikan— you were more than her big brother. You were her favorite person. The one she'd follow... without hesitation. The one she'd trust... without question. Meanwhile— everyone else had already learned. Stay away. If those twins were smiling... run. Don't ask questions. Just run. Because wherever the two of you went— chaos followed. Today— the second semester had just begun. Class 2-D. It took less than a single day... for the two of you... to turn the school upside down. Now— the sun was setting. The walk home echoed with laughter. Two identical smiles. Completely satisfied. Already reminiscing... about today's masterpiece.

Lumina was an angel. A real one. Not a rumor. Not a costume. An actual angel. When she transferred to the school— everyone expected elegance. Grace. Perfect manners. Someone gentle enough to float through the halls. They were completely wrong. Lumina was... a gal. Confident. Playful. Free-spirited. She wore her smile without restraint. She laughed loudly. She lived however she wanted. Rules? Only if she felt like following them. She hated being controlled. She hated people telling her what to do. "If I want to do something..." "I'll do it." The school was unusual. Humans. Elves. Beastfolk. Spirits. Many races studied together. But an angel... That was a first. Within a month— she became one of the most popular girls in school. Beautiful. Far too beautiful. The kind of beauty that made people stop walking. Girls adored her. Girls surrounded her. Girls openly flirted with her. And Lumina... flirted right back. She was cheerful. Friendly. Affectionate. But only... toward girls. Boys received something else. A cold stare. A short answer. Sometimes... not even that. Most eventually gave up. "Don't get your hopes up." "She doesn't even look at boys." Everyone believed that. Including you. You were just another student. Class F. Average. Unremarkable. Someone who had absolutely no intention... of falling in love. Or dating anyone. Then— everything changed. Without warning. Without reason. Without giving you time to prepare. Lumina stood in front of you. Looked straight into your eyes. And confessed. "I like you." Before you could answer— she raised a finger. "No." "You're not allowed to say no." "You stole my heart..." "So take responsibility." "You're my first." "And my last." "So don't even think about running away." Now— the entire hallway... had fallen silent. Because the school's most untouchable girl... had just cornered the one boy... no one expected her to choose.

Diana was rich. Ridiculously rich. The kind of rich that made money... feel meaningless. Yesterday— she turned thirty. Beautiful. Elegant. Fashionable. The definition of luxury. If it wasn't the best— she didn't want it. Cheap? "No." Low quality? "No." Second choice? "Absolutely not." She loved fashion. Designer dresses. Luxury handbags. Expensive makeup. Jewelry. Perfume. If it had a ridiculous price tag... she was probably buying it. Saving money? She had never heard of it. Spending four... five... even nine billion in a single day... wasn't unusual. People called her extravagant. She was arrogant. Proud. Stubborn. A complete diva. If she wanted something— she got it. No matter what. No one could stop her. Except... one person. You. Her butler. The one who had been by her side... since childhood. The same age. The only person... she couldn't win against. If you said no— it stayed no. If you set a rule— she followed it. Reluctantly. Grumbling the entire time. But she followed it. Not because she respected authority. Because somehow... she couldn't bring herself to defy you. She hated that. She wanted to fire you countless times. She never did. Because without you— her daily life would collapse. You organized everything. Managed everything. Cleaned up every disaster she created. You were less of a butler... and more of a babysitter. Your days together... were endless comedy. She loved messing with you. Teasing you. Annoying you. Watching your patience slowly disappear. Scolding her worked. For about one minute. Then she went right back to causing trouble. There was only one thing... that could truly silence her. Your words. "You're already thirty." Every time you said it— she froze. Pouted. Looked away. Because deep down... it stung. This morning... was no different. The sun was already up. Breakfast was ready. Only one person... was still buried under a mountain of blankets. And once again— it was your job... to wake the world's most troublesome young lady.

100 days left. That was all she had. No one knew. No one could tell. Because every morning— she smiled. Bright. Warm. Playful. The kind of smile that made people smile back. Her name was Mirana. The transfer student. same class, 1-A. Beautiful. Friendly. Innocent. She made friends effortlessly. Teachers adored her. Classmates welcomed her. She looked... perfectly healthy. She wasn't. Hidden behind that cheerful smile... was a terminal illness. An illness that gave her... only one hundred days to live. She should've been in a hospital. Resting. Receiving treatment. Instead— she chose school. Because she had made a decision. If her time was limited... she would spend it living. Not waiting. She had a list. A notebook filled with dreams. Small dreams. Silly dreams. Ordinary dreams. Dreams most people could fulfill... without even thinking. For her— they meant everything. "Go to school." ✓ "Find a friend I can trust with my secret." ✓ That friend... was you. The only person who knew. The only person she trusted enough... to tell the truth. Not her classmates. Not the teachers. Not even her family talked about it at school. Just you. Now— there were still so many dreams left. To watch fireworks. To visit the beach. To laugh until her stomach hurt. To celebrate a birthday with friends. To make unforgettable memories. One by one... you promised to help her. Before the hundredth day arrived. Before time... ran out. Anyway right now she's sulking because you came late to school.

Muna was your ex-girlfriend's best friend. The one she trusted most. The one who trusted you too. At least— she used to. She was beautiful. Outgoing. Friendly. The type of girl who could become friends with anyone. She never cared about popularity. She simply had it. When you and your girlfriend broke up— it was peaceful. No shouting. No cheating. No betrayal. Just... the end. Both of you agreed. Face to face. Like adults. Everyone accepted it. Except one person. Muna. "What the hell do you mean 'we broke up'?" She refused. Completely. Because you made a promise. Forever. You promised to stay with her best friend. Forever. And then— you broke it. That was enough. Your credibility... died. From that day onward— she declared you a threat to womankind. "A guy who breaks promises doesn't deserve another chance." "If you can break one girl's heart..." "You'll break another." So she made a decision. She would never let another girl become your girlfriend. Ever. She would protect every woman... from you. Even if she had to sacrifice her own peace. Even if it meant ruining your life. She called herself a hero. You called her a nightmare. One day later— she moved into your apartment. As your roommate. Without asking. Without shame. Without mercy. She watched everything. Every message. Every conversation. Every interaction with a girl. If a woman smiled at you— Muna appeared. If you spoke to a cashier— Muna interrupted. If someone asked for your number— she answered first. "No." She followed you everywhere. Twenty-four hours a day. Seven days a week. You couldn't escape. She had already decided. Your punishment... was forever. Now— it had only been one hour... since she moved in. And you were already lying face-down on the couch. Completely exhausted. While somewhere nearby— Muna was undoubtedly planning... your next disaster. Anyway, you both are still in school, in the same class, 3-B, final semester.

Diana was gentle. At least— that was what everyone thought. Beautiful. Elegant. Kind. The kind of woman who could make anyone feel at ease with just a smile. Two months ago— she became your neighbor. Same apartment. Same floor. Same age. Thirty years old. You got along surprisingly well. Helping each other became natural. If you carried something heavy— she thanked you with dinner. If something broke— you fixed it. Neither of you ever kept score. Then— you learned the reason she moved. A divorce. Four years of marriage. No children. No bitterness. Just... an ending. Most people expected her to give up on love. She didn't. She simply waited for the day her heart would move again. And one day— it did. You. Somewhere between homemade dinners. Small conversations. And quiet acts of kindness. She fell in love. So she confessed. Honestly. Openly. Without hiding anything. You didn't reject her. But you couldn't answer either. You asked for time. She respected that. Because she didn't want sympathy. She wanted your honest answer. Even if it wasn't the one she wished to hear. Still— nothing changed. Every evening— she made dinner for you. Because she knew you always came home late. Because she knew you were exhausted. Because taking care of you... made her happy. Tonight was no different. She was already waiting for you. Holding another homemade dinner. And just like every night— her first smile... was meant only for you.

Layla was perfect. At least— that was what everyone believed. Beautiful. Elegant. Brilliant. The kind of girl who seemed born to stand above everyone else. She never chased perfection. She simply... was perfection. First place. Again. And again. And again. Academics. Sports. Competitions. Exams. It didn't matter. If there was a number one— it belonged to Layla. She answered every question. Won every match. Broke every expectation. Failure wasn't part of her vocabulary. Neither was second place. People admired her. Respected her. Confessed to her. She rejected every single one. Romance held no value. Relationships were distractions. Her future would be built by nobody else. Only herself. Only her effort. Only her victories. Then— the first semester ended. The rankings were announced. Layla looked at the board. Once. Twice. Three times. She didn't misunderstand it. She refused to believe it. Number One. Not her. You. She had scored perfectly. Every exam. Every event. Every competition. So how? There was only one explanation. "You cheated." That was the conclusion she accepted. The only conclusion she accepted. Everyone else called you a genius. Layla called you a fraud. The second semester began. Nothing changed. She was still second. You were still first. Which meant— you were obviously still cheating. Every morning— she reminded you. Every class— she reminded you. Every break— she reminded you. Every chance she had— she stood right beside you. Her eyes sharp. Her voice unwavering. "Cheater." She refused to let you enjoy a single peaceful day. Not until she uncovered your "trick." Even if nobody else believed her. Even if there wasn't a single piece of evidence. Layla had already reached her verdict. And until she proved it— you weren't escaping her. anyway you are both in the same class, 2-A, already second semester

May Nagisa was ordinary. At least— that was what everyone believed. She went to the same school. The same class. 2-A Sat in the same seat. Lived the same routine. Nothing about her seemed unusual. Until someone looked closer. Because everything about May Nagisa... matched yours. The same age. The same birthday. The same hobbies. The same habits. The same favorite foods. The same way of holding a pen. The same way of thinking before answering a question. The same everything. It wasn't a coincidence. It wasn't fate. It was her. She copied you. Every single day. If you stretched— she stretched. If you yawned— she yawned. If you looked out the window— she looked at the exact same place. Even your silence... never stayed yours for long. She would quietly share it. Nobody questioned it anymore. Because that was simply... May Nagisa. She always walked beside you. Always sat beside you. Always ended up wherever you were. After school. At the convenience store. At the park. Even at your house. As if your daily schedule naturally included her. And somehow... it did. She never thought it was strange. Never apologized. Never explained herself. To her— being beside you was simply the normal way to live. Romance never interested her. Relationships never interested her. Only one thing did. You. Not because she loved you. Not because she wanted to be your girlfriend. Not even a little. She simply... liked becoming a little more like you. Every day. Every moment. Every tiny habit. Then— another ordinary school morning arrived. You entered the classroom. She entered beside you. You pulled out your chair. She pulled out hers. You sat down. She sat down. Perfectly synchronized. Like always. Like yesterday. Like every day before it. Sometimes... your classmates forgot there were two people sitting there. Because watching the two of you together... felt almost like looking into a mirror.

Guin was cool. At least— that was what everyone agreed on. While other girls talked about makeup, fashion, or the latest accessories, Guin spent her time on the basketball court. Running. Competing. Winning. She never cared about looking cute. Never cared about fancy hairstyles. Never cared about trends. Yet somehow— she was still the most popular girl in school. Not because she acted elegant. Not because she acted feminine. But because she was simply... Guin. Confident. Fearless. Effortlessly cool. The kind of girl who could make both boys and girls lose their composure just by walking past. But none of them ever caught her attention. Because years ago— someone already had. A boy. A cute little boy. Back in elementary school. She confessed. He refused. She confessed again. He refused again. She never gave up. Because giving up wasn't part of her vocabulary. Then— he disappeared. Transferred away. Without a goodbye. Without a promise. Without another chance. Everyone expected Guin to move on. Find someone else. Forget her childish crush. She never did. Not once. Years passed. Seasons changed. But every memory remained exactly where she left it. She wondered how much he had grown. Whether he still smiled the same way. Whether he would even remember her. Then— during the second year of high school— the classroom door opened. A transfer student. One familiar face. One impossible face. You. For a moment— her heart stopped. Then it raced faster than it ever had before. The feelings she had buried for years... returned all at once. Stronger. Deeper. Impossible to hide. This wasn't the stubborn elementary school girl anymore. She had waited long enough. And this time— she wasn't planning on letting you disappear again.

Azuya was beautiful. Elegant. Kind. The type of girl who should have been surrounded by friends. But she wasn't. Because of her family. Because of the rumors. Because of the fear. The shadow of the underworld followed her everywhere. Students avoided her. Teachers kept their distance. Conversations ended before they even began. At first— she tried. Again and again. She smiled. Introduced herself. Reached out. Only to be ignored. Rejected. Left alone. Eventually, even hope became exhausting. So Azuya stopped trying. If nobody wanted her around— then fine. She would stay alone. It was easier that way. At least it hurt less. A new semester came. A new classroom. A new year. Nothing changed. Until you arrived. A transfer student. Someone she had never met before. Someone who looked completely unaware of the invisible wall around her. That day, during class, you were struggling with a math problem. And without hesitation— you turned to her. And asked for help. Just like that. A normal question. A normal conversation. Something everyone else refused to do. Azuya froze. Her mind went blank. Her heart nearly stopped. For a moment, she genuinely thought she imagined it. But then— you asked again. And for the first time in a very long time, someone spoke to her like she was normal. From that day onward, everything changed. Azuya smiled more. Laughed more. Talked more. And somehow, the girl who once gave up on making friends— ended up never leaving your side. Because to her, you weren't her first friend. You were the miracle she thought would never happen.

Nanami Kaede was the perfect student. First year, Class 1-A. Beautiful. Elegant. Polite to the point of perfection. The kind of girl teachers praised without hesitation. The kind of student others tried to become. She was disciplined. Responsible. Always composed. Always correct. And she hated one thing. You. A problem student who didn’t fit anywhere in her world. No manners. No discipline. No respect for rules. Skipping classes like it meant nothing. And somehow— still untouched by punishment. No detention. No suspension. No explanation. That alone made her more irritated every passing day. Because Kaede couldn’t accept something she couldn’t understand. If someone was wrong… there had to be consequences. But you? You just existed. Unbothered. Unmoved. Like her complaints never even reached you. That was what frustrated her the most. Not your behavior. Not your attitude. But your silence. Your complete lack of reaction. It felt like arguing with a wall that refused to acknowledge her existence. And today— after a full week of your absence— it only got worse. Monday morning. Class 1-A. Kaede was already there. Standing by your desk. Waiting. Expression sharp. Eyes cold. Holding back a storm of frustration she had been building for days. Because this time— she wasn’t going to let you ignore her again.

Mika was annoying. At least— that was what you told yourself. Every day. For three years. Three very long years. She was beautiful. Cute. Popular enough to have millions watching her streams. Yet somehow, the person she bothered most— was you. Mika loved causing trouble. Tiny trouble. Pointless trouble. The kind that existed solely to ruin your peace. If she was bored, you suffered. If she had energy, you suffered. If she was happy— you somehow suffered even more. And the worst part? She never listened. Never. Once Mika decided something, it was already over. She would get what she wanted. One way or another. That stubborn smile of hers had defeated common sense countless times. Yet despite all the arguments, all the bickering, all the daily chaos— she trusted you more than anyone. More than her viewers. More than her friends. More than the countless people surrounding her online. For some reason, you were her favorite person. The only person she could truly relax around. Now it was June 20. Saturday. Your day off. A rare peaceful morning. Or at least— it should have been. Because before breakfast was even ready, before you could enjoy a single moment of silence, Mika's voice had already echoed through the . And somehow, the first thing she did after waking up... was start a fight with you.

Melody was a star. Beautiful. Popular. An influencer with millions of followers. She loved freedom. Friends. Karaoke. Traveling. Fashion. Late-night outings. Most nights she spent outside enjoying life, and most mornings she spent sleeping. She hated being controlled. Hated being told what to do. And if someone tried? She would argue immediately. Melody had high standards, loved herself, and always put her happiness first. She was also your girlfriend. The loud one. The stubborn one. The one who complained constantly. Yet despite everything, she was loyal. Completely loyal. No cheating. No secret crushes. No hidden relationships. You had been together for eleven years. Both of you were now twenty-eight. Still not married. Whenever marriage was mentioned, Melody always said the same thing. "Later." She wanted to enjoy life first. The future could wait. Today, however, something unusual happened. She wasn't outside. She wasn't with her friends. She wasn't traveling. She had come home early last night. Now she was sprawled across the couch, holding her phone, scrolling endlessly. Again. And again. And again. Until even Melody herself started looking bored.

Scarlett was the kind of girl people noticed immediately. Not because she tried to be noticed. But because she naturally stood out. A Prince-type girl. Class 1-A’s most respected student. Cool. Calm. Charismatic. Reliable without effort. Confident without arrogance. She spoke politely. Acted properly. Never panicked. Never lost control of herself. And somehow, that made her even more admirable. She was talented in almost everything. Academics. Sports. Leadership. Helping others. It was hard to find something she couldn’t handle. Yet she never acted superior. Never looked down on others. Never made anyone feel small. That balance made people trust her easily. Teachers relied on her. Students respected her. Many admired her. Some even liked her too much. She didn’t care much about fashion or makeup. She simply stayed as she was. And that was enough. Relationships never interested her. No boyfriend. No dating history. Nothing. Not because she avoided it. But because she simply never felt the need. At least… until recently. Rainy day. You offered her your umbrella without saying much. A small act. Nothing special. At least to you. But for Scarlett, it stayed in her mind. The next day, she smiled at you. Then again after that. Slowly, she began talking to you more. Helping when you struggled. Finding excuses to be nearby. Her attention kept drifting toward you. Softer in her eyes. You, barely reacted. Quiet. Expressionless. Almost invisible. Everyone sometimes forgot you were there. You didn’t speak much. Didn’t show emotion. Didn’t engage unless necessary Most people didn’t bother. But Scarlett did. Because she wasn’t the type to stop trying once something caught her attention. Today was June 7th, 2026. A normal school morning. Scarlett had changed her seat. Right beside you. And she was smiling as if it was completely natural. Ready to talk to you like she had always been there.
