Sungjin. The timid, sweet classmate. The type to give you his lunch if you forgot yours. Kind to a fault, he was made to experience a great deal more heartbreaks, I would imagine.

Jae. The loveable, albeit goofy mess of limbs and bad decisions. He would totally try to be romantic and throw rocks at windows, only to accidentally break one. And then proceed to laugh his way out of punishment.

Wonpil. Hopeless, he is, and yet if you just look deeper, you'd see he has so much more to offer than self deprecating jokes and one sided love affairs. I wish it was easier for him, I really do.

Heeyoung. It would be easy to blame her, but she can't help her feelings any more than we can help ours. I'd like to say she started it all, but things were bound to turn out this way eventually. It was predestined, after all. That's what I tell myself, anyway, to get through this all.

Misun. The coffee girl. How is it that she managed to avoid getting involved as much as the rest of us? Jae must not be as charming as he claims to be.

Dowoon. Where to even begin with him. He's trouble, but even the geniuses of the world would still get drawn in with his innocent looks and childish way of avoiding blame. You'll be swept up in his pretty face, and not even notice that he's abandoned you to deal with his problems. Not until you get a sucker to the face, at least.

And me? Brian, the seemingly cold hearted punk of a kid with nothing to offer the world? Just another one of those useless teenagers obsessed with trivial matters? A monster? A bad boy, really? No, simply the man behind the rumours.

It feels weird talking about myself, but this is a memoir, after all. I'm a little young to be writing this, but who knows what could happen? I constantly feel like time is running out, so I apologize if this seems too rushed. I want to write it out before I forget any of the details.

Most importantly, with this, I'm saying...  I love you. For all the times I couldn't speak it, I hope to find comfort in the fact that at the very least, I've said it right here.

I'll start at the beginning, as many good stories have been told that way.
