"Not that I am curious or anything..." she feigned disinterest even though her voice was laced with utter fascinatation. "But what do you keep writing in that journal of yours?"

He regarded her with longing eyes, the way he had for the past three years, like a stray puppy following her around. He pushed his round glasses further up the bridge of his nose, clutching the plain blue notebook closer to himself. "Nothi- nothing about you!"

She bent down to meet him at eye level at the bench he sat on. With a ruffle of his hair that took him by surprise, she narrowed her eyes at him. "Are you sure about that, nerd?"

And when Bin gulped and Yejin realized that he was lying, he did the only sane thing his mind conjured.

He ran.

-------

When a 23 year old introverted and shy university student catches feelings for a somewhat bully/massively bratty girl in his Accounting class, he can't help but feel his heart flutter every time she's in sight. Instead of trying to tell her how he feels, he's hindered by his reserved personality, thus, deciding to write everything he feels for her in a journal.

Until one day, Yejin desperately wants to know what the cute introverted boy writes in his journal every time his eyes leave hers and then go back to his notebook, his hand scribbling away.
