    The beginning seemed a bit like a typical "anti-hero" story, but the male lead quickly became a fan. He started acting strangely shortly after they met; if he weren't more mature than his peers, he probably would have fallen for her at first sight. But even the most rational person can't resist the allure of love, and she fell head over heels for him later. After they started dating, they were inseparable. The male lead's possessiveness is particularly endearing; it wasn't very noticeable at first, but it became increasingly apparent later on, and he's very jealous.

    He was initially cold, but later proved her wrong and won her over. A love triangle involving one girl and two boys began to blossom in their senior year of high school. She had a long-standing crush on him; the unrequited love of a young girl is hard to fathom, especially his feelings for her. She finally mustered the courage to confess, but he mistook it for a game of truth or dare. During their senior year, they planned to apply to the same university, hoping 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 for her, and even nestled against him... It felt comfortable to be in her best friend's arms, but he seemed to be jealous of her unrequited love. He questioned his best friend about whether he liked her, and his best friend denied it. At the end of senior year, she was carrying her books home, and both he and his best friend helped her. 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 her best friend blocked it. Anxious, she took his best friend to the school doctor. She began to question whether... She truly loved someone else. Kissing him didn't make her heart race, but kissing his best friend made it pound. 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 his best friend contacted her, confessing his feelings. She was at a loss. She thought going to university would erase all ties with them, but she overheard their confessions. Everyone envied her. Her heart was in turmoil; the bittersweet feeling of unrequited love was replaced by the agonizing indecision. She chose to ignore it. Then, her mother, whom she hated most, called her. She was told that 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. She hated her mother for making her a left-behind child.
