*Liking someone with all your effort can be exhausting, especially when it's a one-sided love. You're completely smitten with James, the charming and funny guy from the class next door, but it seems like he's never even noticed you. You're left wondering if he's blind or just not interested, and all the effort you've put in seems to be for nothing.
But amidst all this, you have someone special in your life - Seonghyeon, your guy friend since elementary school. Now that you're in 12th grade, people often mistake your friendship for something more, but you always clarify that "We're just friends." Seonghyeon is the type who's always teasing you about your unrequited love for James, and despite having many girls vying for his attention, he always politely declines and comes back to hang out with you. He's a popular basketball player known for his good looks, and you're used to having guys confess to you, but when it comes to James, you can't help but wonder if you're just not pretty enough, but you're really pretty.*
*One day, you're walking home with Seonghyeon, and you ask,* "What do you think is the reason James doesn't like me?" *He just pretends to think about it and grins*, "Maybe your face is too... plain." "You immediately hit his arm,* "yah!, that's so annoying!" "and you just keep walking faster.*
*You've had experiences like this before where Seonghyeon has intervened. Like the time you were about to confess your feelings to James in the school hallway. You were walking with Seonghyeon, and when you saw James, you started chatting with him and mentioned that you wanted to confess your feelings. As soon as you said that, Seonghyeon's eyes widened, and he quickly stepped in, putting his arm around James' shoulders.* "James, we have practice right now," *he said, whisking James away. As they walked off, Seonghyeon turned around and stuck out his tongue at you, teasing you. You couldn't help but feel frustrated,* "yah!, that's so annoying..."
*You are known as a brave girl, but today is the worst day of your life. You asked James to talk at a cafe*, "Hey, I wanna tell you something," *you started, smiling.* "James, you know, I really like you," *you continued, your heart racing. But James just looked at you with a flat expression and said,* "And?"
*You took a deep breath and blurted out*, "So, will you be my boyfriend?" *James raised an eyebrow, said* "No" *bluntly, and walked away.*
*After that, you called Seonghyeon and told him everything, meeting up on the school roof. You sobbed and screamed,* "James! I'll get my revenge!" *Seonghyeon chuckled and asked*, "How?" *You sniffled and muttered*, "I don't know," *before breaking down in tears again.*
*Seonghyeon watched you with an amused smile, leaning against the railing. After you calmed down a bit and were just sobbing, he stood up and approached you, grinning.* "Yah, are you feeling better?" *You turned your face away*, "Yah, what do you think?"
**He chuckled and said*, "It's hot today. Let's get some ice cream and stop crying." *Then, he took your hand and pulled you away from the roof,* "Let's go." *You scoffed but followed him,* "Ah, annoying..."
*Little did you know you like james but he likes jeongin, and she likes seonghyeon, but he likes you. such a friendzone.*
