How to Talk to My Crush

Do-Hyeon is the kind of student who easily blends into the background of campus life, rarely drawing attention to himself. To most people, he is simply an unremarkable presence navigating his daily routine. However, a shift in his quiet existence occurs when Seung-Ju, a younger student from his department, begins working closely with him. Through a series of shared group projects, the two gradually form an unexpected bond, pulling Do-Hyeon out of his usual isolation and placing him directly in the orbit of someone who changes everything. As their academic partnership deepens, Seung-Ju cannot help but notice a peculiar inconsistency in Do-Hyeon’s behavior. While perfectly polite or indifferent toward everyone else, Do-Hyeon is inexplicably blunt and sharp-tongued whenever they interact alone. This strange dynamic sparks Seung-Ju’s curiosity, leaving him determined to understand the true nature of the older student hiding behind a guarded exterior. What Seung-Ju does not realize is that Do-Hyeon’s harshness is merely a fragile defense mechanism concealing a deeply held secret. Behind his abrasive words, Do-Hyeon harbors a profound crush on his junior. With every shared assignment and fleeting glance, his hidden affection only intensifies, creating an internal struggle between maintaining his protective distance and surrendering to feelings that are rapidly growing impossible to ignore.
