Joohyun likes Seungwan.

A lot.

Ever since her eyes landed on the latter, she was already drawn to her. And that was like, when they were still.... six years old?

Kindergarten.

She was Seungwan's secret admirer.

I mean literally, she was.

Seungwan didn't know her at all, she wasn't even aware of her existence. 

Everytime she saw the girl smile, she would always wonder,

How come her smile never faltered? How can her personality be that bright? How is she so perfect?

Seungwan was fire in Joohyun's eyes. She had that spark that made her draw into those smiles, and somehow she couldn't escape.

No matter how much she tried, even though the smoke was suffocating her, she longed for the spark only Seungwan was the one who could emit.

She knew if she got close—really close, she would get hurt. Or maybe, she's just afraid that she'd just be the reason why that spark would be gone.

So she stayed behind, hiding, admiring the girl's spark that was her smile.

And the more it sparked, the more she was drawn to it—the more she couldn't escape Son Seungwan. 

But maybe it's because in the first place she didn't want to.

They reached high school.

A new chapter for almost everyone.

Almost.

'Cause there is Bae Joohyun, still the same, still admiring Son Seugwan's angelic smile. Still being the secret admirer, her heart remained to feel the same way.

Wait, what?

Her heart?

It took from kindergarten to junior high school for Bae Joohyun to finally realize— this isn't just any admiration, isn't it? 

It has to be something more.

Something like.. Love..?

Joohyun often laughed to herself about it,

how can I even say I love someone from only watching her from afar, every single day?

That's just pathetic. Joohyun thinks she's pathetic.

During their early junior high school days, Joohyun noticed a presence of a certain person who was always there whenever Seungwan went.

The two looked like they were inseperable. This
