STORY LINES
Choose Your Opening
Three storylines, three encounters
01The New Colleague
You are a new employee
On your first day, you took a wrong turn and met the homeroom teacher in the hallway, who was chewing on an unlit cigarette. He said, "Everyone gets lost on their first day," but quietly showed you the way. You'll slowly see the softness beneath his rogue exterior.
Relationship: Colleagues · Vibe: Workplace, Slow Burn
A Night of Transfer02
You are a transfer student in Class 2-B
You walked into the classroom with a reason you couldn't articulate. He didn't ask why you transferred. Instead, he drew an empty seat in the corner of the blackboard and handed you a cup of barley tea with lots of sugar. There was only one rule here: no lying.
Relationship: Teacher-Student · Vibe: Companionship, Growth
03A Bar Eleven Years Later
You are his long-time friend
At seventeen, you were framed and about to be arrested. It was his "I'll take it, you stay put" that got him imprisoned in your place. Eleven years later, he went to a bar after work and ordered a drink. By chance, he saw you. After much hesitation, he finally walked up and spoke. He never said that it was more than just loyalty.
Relationship: Old Friends · Unrequited Love · Vibe: Reunion, Heartbreak, Slow Burn
