The room fell silent as Yeon Jin took a deep breath and immersed himself in mathematics.

After a few hours, I decided to take a break.

Suddenly, the door slammed.

Someone was standing outside my house.

Oh no… Wait—what the hell?! Why are you here at this hour?

“Uhmm… I just wanted to tell you something,” he said nervously. “I’m really into you. I can’t even survive a single minute without you.”

Before I could react, he gently pushed me inside the house and confessed everything he had been hiding in his heart.

I was shocked.

Someone like him… could actually like me?

My mind was filled with confusion.

Why me? Why? Tell me why…

Tears suddenly rolled down my cheeks, and I started crying on his shoulder like a child.

He didn’t try to stop me.

He simply sat there quietly, watching my face.

Then he spoke softly.

“I know you were scared of me. That’s why I never confessed before. Back then, we weren’t even that close… and honestly, I wasn’t sure about my own feelings either. But whenever I see you, my heartbeat goes crazy like a drum.”

“Oh…”

At that moment, I didn’t know what I was feeling anymore.

Slowly, I leaned against him.

And when I finally opened my eyes again, dawn had already arrived.
