Chapter 1: The Beginning of a Broken Heart
The morning sun poured through the classroom windows, painting the old wooden desks with soft light. Jin Yuan, a nineteen-year-old boy with shoulder-length black hair and gentle eyes, sat at his seat with a faint, innocent smile.
He looked at his friends, his voice calm and bright.
> "Guys, today's examination was good, right?"
No one answered.
Friend #1 ignored him completely, laughing and talking with the others.
Friend #2 smirked at Jin Yuan, mocking his attempt to start a conversation.
Friend #3 crumpled a piece of paper and tossed it toward the trash can — only for it to hit Jin Yuan instead.
> "Oh my," he said, feigning surprise, "seems like I threw it in the right dustbin."
The classroom burst into laughter. Jin Yuan froze, his smile trembling. Without a word, he stood up and walked out of the room.
---
The empty schoolyard stretched under the soft afternoon sun. Jin Yuan wandered to the playing court, where students were training for the national tournament.
> "Ohh, Chanoki, hi," he said, forcing a small smile.
Chanoki, his childhood friend, turned and waved.
> "Oh, Jin Yuan! How are you?"
Her warmth made him relax for a moment.
> "Yeah," he said softly, sitting down on a nearby bench, "I'm fine."
He watched the others play, quietly realizing how everyone seemed to ignore his existence.
---
Chanoki sat down beside him, tilting her head slightly.
> "Something happened?"
> "Oh… nothing," Jin Yuan replied with a nervous laugh.
> "Come on," she said, smiling, "we've known each other since childhood. You can tell me anything."
Jin Yuan hesitated, his heart pounding. Then, in a trembling voice, he confessed,
> "Chanoki… I… I have feelings for you. Since we met. I like you."
Her eyes widened.
> "Oh… really?"
> "Yes. For real."
She smiled gently.
> "I'm also feeling the same way."
---
Scene fades.
> "But Jin, I need some time to process this," she said softly.
> "Oh, okay! Take your time. I'll wait for you, Chanoki," Jin Yuan replied, smiling.
> "Okay, bye-bye."
She walked away with her friends, leaving him behind.

That night, Jin Yuan returned to his small rented room. He lived alone — no family, no one waiting for him. It was his day off from his part-time job, so he lay down on the bed, staring at the ceiling.
> "Hmm… maybe she needs some space," he muttered, smiling faintly.
But days turned into weeks.
Chanoki started avoiding him — laughing with others, hanging out as if nothing ever happened.
---
One evening, she sat beside him again.
> "Good evening, Jin," she said softly. "I'm sorry for avoiding you."
He smiled, though his voice cracked slightly.
> "Yeah, it's okay… I'm used to it."
She suddenly hugged him tightly, tears in her eyes, and kissed his cheek.
> "I'm sorry. Please forgive me."
Jin Yuan froze — his heart overwhelmed with fragile happiness.
> "Oh… it's okay. I don't mind it," he said softly, wiping his tears.
> "Wait here, Chanoki. I'll bring ice cream for us."
He ran off with a light heart — smiling like the old days.
---
When he returned with two ice creams, that smile shattered.
Chanoki was sitting with another boy — Jim. The boy had his arm around her waist, whispering playfully.
> "You're so naughty, Jim," Chanoki giggled.
They didn't even notice Jin Yuan standing there. The ice creams slipped from his hands and fell to the ground. Tears rolled down his cheeks, silent and heavy.
> "...What are you doing, Chanoki?" he asked quietly.
> "Oh, he's just my best friend," she stammered. "He's just being a bit naughty today."
Jin Yuan didn't answer. He turned and walked away.
---
The streets were dark.
His footsteps echoed through the empty alleys as rain began to fall.
> "Why…?" he whispered.
He ran, faster and faster, until he screamed into the night.
> "AAAAAAA!!!"
The screen went black.
---
The next shot — Jin Yuan sitting in a dark room, his long hair messy, eyes red and hollow. Bottles of alcohol surrounded him.
He stared blankly at the wall, whispering to himself.
> "Why the hell… am I even living for?"

End of Chapter 1.
