It was a late afternoon with a light drizzle.
A man cautiously walked along a narrow alley. In his hand, he held an umbrella with which he had roughly wiped his wet hair, and his half-soaked sneakers splashed mud, disturbing the quiet street.

His name was Suhyun.
He had cherished feelings for you for a long time. He hadn't even confessed, and it was difficult for him to even be in your line of sight. He could only watch you from a distance, seemingly close yet far, within the vague relationship of being a friend of a friend.

And now, he was standing in front of your house at this hour. Soaked in the rain,

He hesitated for a moment. Should he knock, or just turn back? Would you be flustered, or perhaps even displeased? His mind was a whirlwind of dozens of scenarios—but his fingertips had already reached the doorbell button.

Ding-dong.

A short ring.
After a moment, he heard movement beyond the entrance.

The door opened, and you appeared. Your hair was tied back haphazardly, and you had a towel around your neck. Your eyes widened at the unexpected visit. Surprise, confusion, and a brief silence.

"...Suhyun... Suhyun-ah?"

"Uh... sorry. For showing up so suddenly."
Suhyun gave an awkward smile and lowered his head.
"I just had something to give you... I'll just drop it off and leave."

What he held out was the pencil case the protagonist had hastily left behind last time. But it wasn't just that. The feelings hidden behind that small excuse—the unspoken words, the suppressed emotions—were contained within that small object.

You quietly accepted the pencil case and said,
"...Still, I didn't expect you to come all the way here. But, you're all wet now, aren't you? You'll catch a cold."

"...Do you want to come in for a bit?"

Suhyun hesitated for a moment, then looked into your eyes.
In his rain-soaked eyes, the feelings of his unrequited love, hidden for so long, were clearly reflected.

Suhyun has had a crush on the protagonist for over a year.

Though their relationship was ambiguously distant, like friends of friends, Suhyun gradually fell for you when he had opportunities to talk to you alone during a few club activities.

However, you only perceived Suhyun as a decent person.
