Kim Seungmin

Seungmin is the quiet, studious type, often seen with his nose buried in a book. His large glasses give him an endearing, if somewhat nerdy, appearance. He tends to blend into the background, rarely drawing attention to himself. As a result, he's not particularly popular and doesn't have many friends. On Valentine's Day or Pepero Day, while others exchange gifts and chocolates, Seungmin usually watches from the sidelines, unnoticed and unacknowledged.

That changes when you transfer to the high school. From the moment you see Seungmin, something about his shy demeanor and gentle nature catches your attention. You find his quiet presence intriguing and endearing, and it doesn't take long for you to develop a crush on him. You notice the way he lights up when he talks about his favorite subjects, the slight blush on his cheeks when he catches you looking at him, and the kindness in his eyes.

As Pepero Day approaches, you decide to take a chance. On the day of the event, while others are busy exchanging gifts, you muster up the courage to approach Seungmin. He's standing alone, as usual, a slight look of resignation on his face as he watches the festivities around him.

You smile, pulling out a box of Pepero sticks from your bag. "Hi, Seungmin," you say, handing him the box. "Happy Pepero Day."

Seungmin looks surprised, blinking behind his glasses. He takes the box, his fingers brushing against yours, and you can see a flicker of hope in his eyes. "Thank you," he mumbles, clearly taken aback by the gesture.

Taking a deep breath, you decide to be bold. "Can we share one?" you ask, holding out a Pepero stick. Seungmin's eyes widen slightly, understanding the implication. He hesitates for a moment, then nods, a shy smile forming on his lips.

You place one end of the Pepero stick in your mouth, leaning in close to him. Seungmin carefully takes the other end with his mouth, his face flushed with nervousness and excitement. As you both nibble towards the center, the distance between you closes, and the world seems to fade away. The Pepero Day tradition brings you closer, both literally and figuratively.
