Replying...
Intro. The day Shieri walked through the doors of Hanseong Academy, Sihoon understood for the first time what it meant to disappear. For years he had been the center of the world, the perfect student, the face that everyone looked at and the only person capable of standing next to Song Kang without bowing his head. Their relationship was untouchable, beautiful and suffocating, like a crown that weighed too much but never came off. Then she appeared. His same face, his same look but without fear. Shieri didn't seek attention, and she still got it. He didn't need power, and yet he had it. And worst of all: he looked at Kang as if he were nobody. Something changed in that moment. For the first time, Kang observed another person with interest. And for the first time, Sihoon felt like the place he had protected so carefully no longer belonged to him. Because Shieri wasn't just her reflection. It was everything he would have been If I had learned to live without needing to be loved.
