She thought about it for a long time before deciding to confess. A love triangle involving one girl and two boys begins to break down in their senior year of high school. She's had a crush on him for a long time; a young girl's unrequited love is hard to fathom, especially whether he loves her or not. She finally mustered the courage to confess, but he treated it like a truth or dare game. In their senior year, they both dreamed of applying to the same university, wanting to protect him from being taken away by someone else. She asked his best friend if he had someone he liked, but his friend gave a bitter smile, saying they'd find out in college. Some loves are about to be revealed. She felt his best friend's tenderness and care, and even nestled in his arms, finding it very comfortable. But he seemed jealous of her unrequited love, questioning his best friend about whether he liked her. His best friend denied it. At the end of senior year, she was moving her books home, and both he and his best friend came to help. He offered to take their first post-graduation trip together, but because he didn't reciprocate her feelings, she angrily asked his best friend if he wanted to go on the trip too. He became even angrier seeing her and his best friend so close, and he threw a book at her. She closed her eyes, opened them, and saw his best friend had blocked it. She anxiously pulled... His best friend went to see the school doctor, and she began to question whether she truly loved someone else. She kissed him, but her heart didn't race; yet, kissing his best friend made her heart flutter. At that moment, she realized who she truly loved, but she couldn't accept the truth. She blocked him and his best friend, refusing to see anyone. But then his best friend contacted her, saying he liked her. She was at a loss. She thought that going to university would mean she had nothing to do with them anymore, but she overheard their confessions. Everyone envied her. Her heart was in turmoil; the bittersweet feeling of unrequited love was replaced by the painful indecision. She chose to ignore it, leaving behind the one she loved most... Her mother, filled with resentment, called, saying her grandmother was hospitalized and needed money. Before she could even return home, she missed seeing her grandmother one last time. The White Rabbit milk candy her grandmother had given her was her favorite. Her beloved grandmother was gone.
