Episode 1 — The Boy Who Smiled at You

199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9FwBbtLpN

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

199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdbAdCq7Kb

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

199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQ5NyC1gGC

He was looking at Kang Seo-hyun.

199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnezm1yCQw

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.

199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe43pioVcZN

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

199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQW2oVTxaE

"There he is..."

199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOuISChAD6I

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

199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfyz0retufp

Min-jae nearly jumped.

199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfo8QlYqRTS

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

199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxHirEVXMYl

"Just go talk to him."

199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbg1b8SD9wf

"I... can't."

199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCoYyKMeREn

"You've liked him for two years."

199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXHlti8k2N

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

199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFTUUeeks6o

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

199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVHxCQrXYA

"I made this for him."

199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFYUWAfag2

Eun-ho sighed.

199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5oNS1LxZNx

"You're hopeless."

199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgiwlufK51b

"I know."

199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2mAQazCxJ

...

199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaP5jfSuCL3

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

199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7X4DZKmpWZ

The ball rolled toward him.

199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4BUQcQgSQb

Without thinking, he caught it.

199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv3AOpVY096

Seo-hyun jogged over.

199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5czxjGj3C

"Thanks."

199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8pwOpN0VHb

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

199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbomcqQZx1W

It lasted less than a second...

199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWy0L9zEKy

But to Min-jae, it felt like forever.

199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6f4WqNPzpe

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

199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRepJGESCaR

Seo-hyun gave a small nod.

199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJiyB9Ys9dE

"Thanks."

199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13n9jrS8mj

He returned to the court.

199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFujnDs7qy

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

199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhnyCLnGg3Q

...

199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL55ixm83VU

That evening...

199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHUvmJBmCm

Min-jae sat alone in his room.

199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2z2gZ6DBP

His desk was covered with tiny folded papers.

199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjaiCxabXuT

Each one held a memory.

199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ZBEN47Y07

"The first time he smiled at me."

199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhoOs22gk3X

"The first time he remembered my name."

199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzM8FDKkIuJ

"The first time we walked home together."

199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lwhwx25GG

He unfolded one final note.

199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgnZl9czEew

Tomorrow.

199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevsAFjIayv

His heart pounded.

199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡicJjwx6fIp

"I'll tell him tomorrow."

199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbeBTaSO7eJ

No more hiding.

199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFVswYtmUw

No more pretending.

199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBeILJOsge

Even if he was rejected...

199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5glzT02Tgw

He wanted Seo-hyun to know.

199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7Nb2htpEz

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

199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwIn3PYXLh

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

199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0pgcmtmvQK

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

199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvM2ITg3mh

Neither of them knew...

199Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsOLAOZPxPv

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