A Leader in Disguise

The atmosphere hung heavy with anticipation as Maya lay unconscious in Jaebin's arms. Hours passed in a seemingly endless wait, and the collective hope for her swift awakening began to waver. Prayers were whispered, and silent pleas filled the air, each person yearning for Maya to open her eyes.

Seola, filled with worry, was in a terrible state. The fear of losing her friend gnawed at her heart, amplifying her own well-being in contrast to Maya's lifeless state. Regret seeped into her thoughts once more—regret for never uttering those three precious words: "I love you." But this time, she vowed to herself that when Maya woke up, she would express her love without hesitation.

Jaena, her sadness palpable, sought solace by leaning on Daehyun's shoulder. The weight of Maya's unresponsiveness weighed heavily on him as well. Maya was the only one who treated him with respect, even when others dismissed him. She always lent an ear to his suggestions, like a caring sister.
