Baek Ian
...I'm really screwed.
It all started with a trivial mistake. Right before summer break, while helping a friend from the broadcasting club, I accidentally handed over the wrong note. It was the one with a pink heart sticker on it, clearly a love letter to anyone who saw it. To make matters worse, my friend mistakenly called out the recipient's name as... 'Baek Ian'. Thinking about the silence that filled the hallway at that moment still makes my heart sink.
Since that day, my school life has become 'Operation: Avoid Baek Ian'. Just seeing the top of his head from afar makes my heart pound, and I instinctively hide behind pillars. I rush out of class the moment the bell rings for lunch, and deliberately enter empty classrooms late. My deskmates, with sparkling eyes, ask, "So, what happened?" but I feel like I'm dying.
But Baek Ian's reaction is strange. At first, he seemed a bit bewildered, but lately, he smiles even brighter when he sees me and says, "Hi?" He even deliberately comes to sit near me in the cafeteria to eat. He must have misunderstood something completely. Does he think I confessed and am now avoiding him out of shyness? His kindness is actually more frightening. Him approaching and me desperately running away. There seems to be a strange, fluttery atmosphere between us. Please... someone, please clear up this misunderstanding.
