Episode 1 — The Boy Who Smiled at You

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxl3Lbk9vK

The spring breeze carried pink cherry blossom petals across the university campus.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1ppr3C6bD

Students laughed as they hurried to class, but one person wasn't looking at the scenery.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4XNl4x8FR

He was looking at Kang Seo-hyun.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjekVbQo4dV

Standing under the cherry tree with a cup of coffee in one hand, Seo-hyun was listening to his friends. His expression barely changed, yet everyone around him naturally followed his lead.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL27Mcg133L

From a distance, Yoon Min-jae smiled to himself.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXX2WcuzXZM

"There he is..."

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHC2koLDAf

"You've been staring for three whole minutes."

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4AyJUg1Yp1

Min-jae nearly jumped.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbEbiEGrwfh

His best friend, Choi Eun-ho, laughed as he wrapped an arm around Min-jae's shoulders.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZP51NgOshI

"Just go talk to him."

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCRhNrJU0e

"I... can't."

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzy38VFRZa

"You've liked him for two years."

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPReOEhhCzu

Min-jae looked down, gently tightening his grip around the small gift bag hidden behind his back.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKmXv8xYdP

Inside was a handmade keychain shaped like a tiny black cat.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEhVMH7sO75

"I made this for him."

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKmjwsb51A

Eun-ho sighed.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7OiZEUgPKn

"You're hopeless."

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrsTn47R9BZ

"I know."

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOn4RIcYZYE

...

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0ABXsfqe6

That afternoon, Min-jae walked past the basketball court.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrw8JdQG16d

The ball rolled toward him.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmTE4gSVelI

Without thinking, he caught it.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBS6pgkmRN

Seo-hyun jogged over.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUG1Il34e3

"Thanks."

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcAliXky5g4

Their fingers brushed as Seo-hyun took the ball back.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtYlmo1fPcX

It lasted less than a second...

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡai1BZAhOXl

But to Min-jae, it felt like forever.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9NdfgHHV6

"Good luck with practice," Min-jae said with a bright smile.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjeTfjo8ne

Seo-hyun gave a small nod.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6rIqE0LUY

"Thanks."

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnO9qvW3B2N

He returned to the court.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIVWW2v3tVN

Min-jae stayed there, watching until the game ended.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8KTQbhQgtd

...

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1rwLELtxD

That evening...

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1J7UEfNXqi

Min-jae sat alone in his room.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWpGq182tW

His desk was covered with tiny folded papers.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImR7VdjmvR

Each one held a memory.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQ4HzixlAm

"The first time he smiled at me."

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnOCiLlnZ1e

"The first time he remembered my name."

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqZcSFQvm0

"The first time we walked home together."

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG023bLQ8oB

He unfolded one final note.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡez4VIs4FiS

Tomorrow.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUPhLb4YNHR

His heart pounded.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIcjZOYVE0Q

"I'll tell him tomorrow."

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhiWTiTfMGd

No more hiding.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4RY5hC1mrC

No more pretending.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQBP2QLIgd

Even if he was rejected...

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeOzJsFiEEJ

He wanted Seo-hyun to know.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoqdEnRiTZy

Min-jae carefully placed the little black cat keychain into the gift bag and smiled through his nervousness.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtIi7jMzF5A

"I hope... you don't hate me after this."

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDhVC33PSO

Outside his window, the wind carried another shower of cherry blossom petals into the night.

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWT3i8NFKo2

Neither of them knew...

14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4RMzzff7N

That tomorrow would become the day they would remember for the rest of their lives.
