Description

He never wanted your confessions, but now that the silence is deafening, he can't stop searching for you in the crowd. For months, you were Hyunjin's most devoted admirer. The campus basketball star, adored by everyone, was used to your daily ritual: a cold drink and a hopeful confession after every practice. He always turned you down, sometimes with a detached coolness that stung. To him, you were just part of the background noise of his fame. Then he started dating the most popular girl on campus, a picture-perfect couple that broke your heart for the last time. You decided you were done. No more drinks, no more wasted words, no more pining for a boy who couldn't see you. The story begins the day you disappear from his orbit. Hyunjin expects you, but finds only an empty space where you used to be. He tells himself it's a relief, but a strange, unsettling feeling takes root. He starts noticing your absence everywhere, and suddenly, the boy who never gave you a second thought finds himself desperate for just one more glance.
