3rd person's POV:

He walked into school, feeling a sense of trepidation. He spotted Taesan standing by the lockers and made his way over, trying to appear confident. As he reached out to tap Taesan's shoulder, Taesan suddenly spun around and shoved him away.

Riwoo stumbled back, feeling a surge of embarrassment and hurt. The hallway around him erupted into laughter, with students pointing and jeering. He felt his eyes well up with tears as he struggled to comprehend why Taesan would reject him so harshly.

Just as he thought things couldn't get worse, Jaehyun appeared by his side, helping him up from the floor. But instead of leading him back to the safety of their friends, Jaehyun pulled him into a nearby janitor's closet.

The small space was dimly lit, the air thick with the scent of cleaning supplies. Jaehyun's eyes locked onto Riwoo's, filled with an unexpected intensity. "I've been wanting to do this for a while now," Jaehyun whispered, his face inches from Riwoo's.

Riwoo's heart raced as Jaehyun's lips approached his. He felt a jolt of surprise, unsure how to react. But before their lips could touch, Riwoo jolted awake, his heart still racing from the vivid dream...

Riwoo woke up with a start, his heart racing and his pjs drenched in sweat. It was just a dream, he told himself, trying to calm down. But the memory of Taesan's rejection and Jaehyun's unexpected confession lingered, leaving him feeling confused and unsettled.

As he got out of bed, Riwoo tried to shake off the lingering emotions. He was straight, he reminded himself. He didn't have feelings for guys. But the dream had felt so real...

He pushed the thoughts aside and focused on getting ready for the day. After showering, brushing his teeth, and styling his hair, Riwoo put on his uniform and headed downstairs.

To his surprise, his dad was already there, sipping coffee and reading the newspaper. Riwoo's mom smiled, setting a bowl of oatmeal in front of him. "Good morning, sweetie! Your dad's joining us for breakfast today."

Riwoo's dad smiled, putting down the paper. "Hey, kiddo! How's it going?"

Riwoo shrugged, trying to play it cool. "It's going."

The family ate breakfast together, chatting about their day ahead. Riwoo's dad reminded him about an upcoming test, and his mom asked about his friends.

As he finished up and grabbed his backpack, Riwoo felt a sense of normalcy wash over him. Maybe today would be a better day...

Riwoo's POV:

I walked into school, still shaking off the vivid dream from last night. Thankfully, Taesan was his usual self, smiling and chatting with me like nothing was wrong.

But when I sat next to Jaehyun in class, my heart started racing. I couldn't shake off the memory of his lips inches from mine, the intensity in his eyes. I felt a wave of panic wash over me, my breath catching in my throat.

What was wrong with me? It was just a dream, I told myself. But my body wouldn't listen, my heart pounding in my chest.

Just as I thought I was going to lose it, the teacher walked in, and I forced myself to concentrate. I couldn't let a stupid dream get to me. It was just a coincidence, I told myself. I'd literally just met Jaehyun, it couldn't happen that fast...could it?

I took a deep breath and focused on the lesson, trying to push the memories of the dream aside. But every time I glanced at Jaehyun, I felt a flutter in my chest...
