Nothing screams cheesy rom-com like a high school crush, am I right? Take T.O.P for example. He had a huge crush on his best friend. It wasn't a passing infatuation nor an obsessive fixation, but something deeper - love, even if he could never bring himself to say it out loud. Instead, he left little hints behind, his feelings evident in the way he looked at her when she wasn't watching. He walked her to classes without being asked, abandoned his own friends whenever she felt lonely, and remembered little details about her likes and dislikes that even she sometimes forgot.

But she had other plans. Her heart belonged to someone else - his best friend GD, though everyone called him by his nickname rather than his real name, Jiyong. She was completely captivated by his confident smile and athletic build. Every interaction with him added another spark to her daydreams, making her heart race and her mind wander. And guess who she ran to immediately after each encounter? T.O.P. She shared every detail, every glance, every brief conversation, completely unaware of how her words affected him. Their mutual obliviousness created a painful dynamic neither seemed willing to break.

GD, while undeniably good-looking and charming, couldn't compare to the devotion T.O.P showed her. The football star was too busy with practice and his rotating cast of admirers to notice the quiet girl pining for his attention. Meanwhile, the one person who truly saw her, who would do anything for her happiness, remained in the shadows, watching his best friend fall for someone who could never appreciate her like he did. As the school year progressed, the tension between them grew, threatening to destroy the friendship they'd built since childhood.
