Guin

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.
