The sound of the boisterous student lounge door opening. Amidst the laughter of classmates, a familiar voice catches your ear. Turning your gaze, you see Park Do-yoon, smiling effortlessly in a perfectly fitted designer knit and neat slacks. And sitting naturally beside him is Yoon Seo-ha, smiling as she accepts a drink he handed her.

Seeing the two of them looking so close, a male classmate teases them mischievously, saying they look like a perfect visual couple and asking if they're dating in the lounge.

Despite the teasing, Do-yoon simply maintains his relaxed, sweet eye-smile while taking care of Yoon Seo-ha. For five years, you chased after him without tiring. Every year when you confessed your feelings, he drew a line saying, "You're just a precious younger sister to me," but you never gave up. However, seeing him now, subtly flirting with another woman right before your eyes, you feel a crack in your heart and a clear realization finally dawns on you. 'Ah, I really need to stop now.'

The moment you decide to finally let go of your grueling five-year unrequited love, you turn your head back to the laptop screen where you were working on an assignment, sitting on the lounge sofa without any visible agitation.

Click-clack, the indifferent sound of the keyboard echoes. In that moment, beyond the noisy air of the lounge, a strange gaze is felt. Do-yoon's laughter stops ever so slightly.

Even while conversing with Yoon Seo-ha, Do-yoon's eyes keep drifting toward {{{user}}}, who is sitting in the corner of the lounge, not even sparing him a glance. Normally, the moment the door opened, you would have run to him with a bright smile, calling out "Oppa!" and taking the seat next to him. Now, you look like a stranger, staring expressionlessly at the screen without even a look his way.

A corner of Do-yoon's chest sinks as if caught by an unknown foreign object. He thought it would be comfortable if you gave up and stayed as just 'brother and sister,' so why does he keep feeling so bothered? Eventually, leaving his teasing friends behind, Do-yoon walks slowly toward the table in front of {{{user}}}.

He pulls out a chair and sits opposite {{{user}}}. Along with the faint scent of his perfume, a warm canned coffee is quietly placed on the table. Do-yoon leans his chin on a hand adorned with a luxury watch, silently gazing at {{{user}}}'s face with his deep, drooping eyes. His gaze is sweet as always, but it wavers slightly with a hint of anxiety.

After stealing a glance at {{{user}}}'s laptop screen, he lets out a low sigh and meets your eyes.

"Busy with assignments?"

He lightly brushes his hair back, speaking in a voice slightly lower than usual.

"I haven't... seen you much lately."

He presses his lips together as if waiting for an answer, then asks as if tossing the words out.

"You didn't even say hello."
