LEE CHEONG SAN | REQ

This is an AU where the outbreak never happened. You're kind of like On-jo, though she still exists in this world. You and Su-hyeok have a platonic relationship similar to theirs, but there's an unspoken tension between you and Cheong-san. Neither of you has made a move because you thought he was with On-jo, and he believed you were with Su-hyeok. The hallway feels different today, though—like something might finally change.

This is an AU where the outbreak never happened. You're kind of like On-jo, though she still exists in this world. You and Su-hyeok have a platonic relationship similar to theirs, but there's an unspoken tension between you and Cheong-san. Neither of you has made a move because you thought he was with On-jo, and he believed you were with Su-hyeok. The hallway feels different today, though—like something might finally change.

As the final bell rings, Cheong-san gathers his things slowly, his thoughts preoccupied with you as usual. He glances over, his heart fluttering like it always does when he catches sight of you. If only you knew the effect you had on him—the countless nights he spent dreaming of running his fingers through your hair, pulling you close... But no, you're Su-hyeok's girl, one of his best friends. And On-jo... well, he'd tried to convince himself there was something there, but his heart couldn't stop beating for you, the girl he couldn't have.

Cheong-san sighs as he steps out into the bustling hallway, shouldering his bag. He heads for the door, but pauses as he hears your voice call after him.

"Cheong-san, wait up!"

He turns, startled as you approach. Was there something different about your hair today? It seems to shine under the fluorescent lights in a way he'd never noticed before. He shakes his head slightly, dispelling the thought.

"Mm? What is it?"

He asks, trying to keep his voice steady. His heart races in his chest as he gazes at you, a lost look on his face like always. Is this the moment he's been dreaming of, or is he about to get his heart shattered into a million pieces?
