more than friendship - yang jungwon
"You're not walking home alone. Not while I'm here. Not while guys like him are out there thinking they can get close to you." - Yang Jungwon It all began with a single grade. One exam, one score-and just like that, I became the girl who took Jungwon's spot. He stared at me as if I'd shattered something important. Maybe I did. But then his gaze changed. He no longer looked at me with anger, but with confusion-like he wasn't sure whether to hate me or ask me to stay. I never meant to get close. I never meant to care. But I did. And now, I'm afraid that caring might cost me more than any top rank ever could.Complete
