The essay for Extra Chapter.
Love, in its purest form, often begins with a single moment - a fleeting glance, a radiant smile, or a chance encounter that forever alters the course of one's life. Such was the case on a sweltering summer day when two paths converged, setting in motion a tale of unrequited love that would span years. The protagonist, a top student accustomed to being the center of attention, found himself captivated by a classmate's genuine smile - a sight that stirred unfamiliar emotions within him. As fate would have it, they were assigned to the same class, providing ample opportunity for observation and the slow, steady growth of feelings that the protagonist initially struggled to comprehend. The realization of falling for someone of the same gender brought confusion and discomfort, yet the pull of attraction remained undeniable. However, love's path is seldom smooth, and the protagonist soon discovered the object of his affection harbored feelings for another - their class representative. This revelation created a complex web of emotions, with the protagonist silently yearning, his beloved pining for another, and that person, in turn, showing interest in the protagonist. Despite the pain of knowing his feelings were not reciprocated, the protagonist found solace in observing from afar, cherishing every glimpse of the carefree demeanor he so admired. Years passed, and circumstances conspired to keep them in close proximity, with both attending the same university and even sharing a dormitory. This nearness only served to deepen the protagonist's feelings while simultaneously heightening his awareness of the seemingly insurmountable distance between them.
