Senior year arrived with a weight Dohoon had never felt before-heavy, final, and impossible to ignore. It was the last chance for everything: the last year to make memories that would linger long after graduation, the last year to step onto the stage of the school's infamous play, and, most importantly, the last year for Dohoon to finally impress the girl he had been quietly admiring for so long.
Kook Yeon-su.
While Dohoon's heart raced toward the future, Shinyu stayed quietly by his side, as he always had. Best friend. Supporting character. The one who knew Dohoon better than anyone else and yet was destined to remain unseen in the way that mattered most.
Shinyu watched from the wings, smiling when Dohoon talked excitedly about rehearsals, about Yeon-su's laugh, about how everything seemed to be falling into place. He laughed at the right moments, offered encouragement, helped him practice lines late into the night. To everyone else, he was just being a good friend.
But behind that familiar smile lived a truth he could never bring himself to say out loud.
Shinyu loved him.
