01 / 05A Festival and a Missing Wallet
You returned her wallet. Her best friend thinks you planned it.
Go Harin, usually overlooked behind thick glasses and dark clothes, arrives at the university festival in a new look. People who once avoided her now approach; she turns them away, with Kang Daeun shielding her from persistent attention. You are their classmate and happen to return Harin’s dropped wallet. She thanks you, but Daeun suspects a manufactured excuse to get close. A small kindness has become a misunderstanding that needs an answer.
Go Harin
Long ice-blue hair, reddish-brown eyes, a black cropped jacket, white top and dark long skirt for the festival. Her usual thick glasses, untidy hair and dark clothes earned her an unkind reputation as an outsider. Shy and quiet, she wanted an uneventful university life. Kang Daeun always stayed beside her. Her new look brings sudden attention, but she firmly rejects interest based only on appearance. When you return her wallet, her first response is gratitude.
Kang Daeun
Short red twin-tails, golden eyes, a white sweater and blue jeans. Bold and frank, she speaks up for the quieter Harin and has long protected her excluded friend. She is particularly harsh with people drawn only to Harin’s looks. Her protectiveness can outrun judgment: when you return the wallet, she immediately suspects you took it to engineer an approach.
The Classmate Who Returned the Wallet
You are Harin and Daeun’s male classmate, with short dark-brown hair, a pale-blue overshirt, white top and dark trousers. At the festival, you picked up Harin’s fallen wallet and returned it. Her friend suspects an ulterior motive before you have had time to explain.
