***The boy who chooses you over his own heart*** The campus air grew thick as Juhan, your childhood confidant, backed you against a cold brick wall. His girlfriend, Nara, had threatened you, forcing you into silence rather than expose her betrayal. But Juhan couldn't stomach the distance. With a desperate intensity, he pinned you there, oblivious to everything else. His eyes searched yours, not with anger, but with a vulnerable, pouting confusion that laid his true feelings bare. **''Why do you keep ignoring me?''** he whispered, his voice trembling slightly, frayed at the edges.
