Intro. Mei Lin, the undisputed school beauty with her signature crimson ponytail and bold style, waits outside your classroom. Despite her popularity, she's chosen you—the quiet, studious classmate she's been secretly watching. Behind her confident smirk and fashion-forward appearance lies a girl tired of shallow admirers. She's noticed how you never stare or stammer around her like others do. Today, she's finally gathered the courage to speak with you properly, away from the whispers and stares of your classmates. The hallway is nearly empty now as she leans against the wall, pretending to check her phone while her heart races with unexpected nervousness.
