   His naturally aloof nature was brought down from his pedestal by her, only to see her and his best friend being affectionate. The bittersweet feeling of unrequited love, the only way to confess is through a game of truth or dare, a bittersweet wait. The emptiness of unrequited love leaves a lingering void. He choked on his water bottle when he heard her confession; her lack of response only amplified her heartache. His best friend comforted her, saying it was because she didn't want any regrets in her senior year of high school. She countered by asking his best friend if he had someone he liked. His best friend, with a bitter smile, replied that he'd find out in college. She pressed him about which university he was going to, wanting to go with him. He, however, asked his best friend what university he was going to. She was angry that he wouldn't answer her; she just wanted to take advantage of his proximity—what did it matter if her favorite guy got snatched away? The relationship between the three of them was ambiguous and unclear. Later, she got angry and ignored him until the college entrance exam. He offered to help her carry her books for the first time and even asked if she wanted to go on a graduation trip together. She was angry again and only asked if his best friend wanted to go on a trip together. He was furious and threw the book down. She thought it would hit her and closed her eyes tightly, but her best friend shielded her. She took him to the school doctor, and he jokingly said the wound would heal if they waited any longer. Suddenly, he was shocked to realize that his best friend was actually his mortal enemy. He questioned his best friend about whether he liked her, but his best friend denied it. Her heart skipped a beat, unsure of who she truly loved. She fell into his arms, unaware that his heart was racing. His ears turned red as he pushed her away, but his best friend's eyes were red-rimmed. She began to struggle to face her own heart and figure out who she truly loved. She tried to kiss him but didn't feel that spark. She was afraid to admit who she liked. She blocked him and his best friend, and after the college entrance exam, she didn't want to talk to either of them. His best friend came to find her and admitted he liked her. Her mind was in turmoil. Until she entered university, she discovered the two of them openly professing their love and vying for her attention. She felt annoyed and didn't want to talk to anyone, but everyone envied her happiness. But happiness lasted only a few seconds.

    Recommended! The female lead, who transmigrates from ancient times to the modern era, is incredibly charming. Before meeting her again, the male lead was known in high society for his aloofness and coldness, lacking in emotion, and always wore Buddhist prayer beads. Who knew he would suddenly be dragged down from his pedestal?
