The Password Is 2009
The Boy Who Came Later Than Me
Sana was usually the last person to arrive at class.
Not because she wanted attention.
She just liked walking into the classroom right before the bell rang like it was some kind of survival game.
So when she arrived that morning and saw empty seats everywhere, she felt oddly proud. (● ˃̶͈̀ロ˂̶͈́)੭ꠥ⁾⁾
S
(Someone’s later than me?)
The classroom door slammed open so loudly half the class jumped.
A boy walked in casually, slightly out of breath, one hand still on the door.
S
(Do I know someone this handsome?)
( ・∇・)
The boy walked straight past her desk before suddenly stopping beside her seat.
Her brain immediately started searching through old memories.
Middle school? Extra classes? Online friend?
Before she could answer, the teacher looked over.
Teacher
You two know each other?
The boy shook his head calmly.
K
No. I saw her name on the class list earlier, so I remembered it.
Then he sat beside her like it was the most natural thing in the world.
Sana stared at the board silently.
S
(…What kind of male lead entrance was that?)
( ˙-˙ )
Conversations That Didn’t Feel Normal
For the first few weeks, Sana and K barely talked.
Sana was the type of student teachers loved.
Smart, quiet, always studying.
Even during breaktime, she usually stayed in class reviewing lessons instead of running around with everyone else.
Their classroom only had five students most days anyway.
So it always felt strangely empty whenever someone was absent.
＿φ(￣ー￣ )
That morning, Sana noticed her close friend still hadn’t arrived.
for the first time in a while,
she was sitting alone.
(-_-;)
Sana spent ten painfully awkward minutes pretending to focus on her notes before finally glancing toward K.
S
Hey,
(ask quietly)@(・●・)@
S
You actually understand this lesson?
K
*looked at her for a second before laughing softly.
that became their first real conversation.
\(//∇//)\
K talked way more than Sana expected.
Especially when the topic became his first love.
(*´ー｀*)
he admitted while spinning his pen slowly.
K
My emotions were really unstable back then
Sana listened quietly.
(^_^*)
K smiled while talking about her.
Like someone remembering sunlight.
S
(He’s literally those loyal second male leads from romance stories)(๑•ૅㅁ•๑)
she wanted to know him more after that.
A few days later, Sana brought small candies to class.
🍬🍬🍬🍬🍬
She handed them to her friends casually before tossing one toward K too.
S
Don’t make it weird.
o(｀ω´ )o
she noticed he kept the candy wrapper inside his pencil case afterward.
Then came English speaking practice.
Girls stayed seated while boys switched seats every few minutes.
When K finally sat across from Sana, she suddenly forgot every English word she knew
He listened carefully while she spoke.
Sana’s heartbeat started acting weird.
ヽ(￣д￣;)ノ=3=3=3
Then another male classmate walked over and started joking with her.
Sana laughed naturally.
(o^^o)
What she didn’t know was—
K had secretly switched seats with another girl earlier just to sit where he could face Sana directly.
After school that day, K didn’t wait for her near the gate anymore.
Sana noticed immediately.
But neither of them mentioned it.
( ˙-˙ )
Stickers and Heart Reactions
Their school festival happened during autumn.
🍂
Sana only came because her friends forced her to.
At the entrance, someone placed a cute sticker onto her cheek before letting her inside.
🍓
Sana accidentally walked straight into a shelf attached to the wall.
U・x・U
The books shook violently.
Several students nearby burst into laughter.
🤣🤣🤣
But K didn’t laugh at all.
(＞＜)
Instead, he immediately stood up.
His eyebrows were slightly furrowed.
Like he was genuinely worried.
Sana rubbed her forehead awkwardly.
She sat down across from him, still embarrassed.
( ˙-˙ )
K leaned forward slightly.
The sticker from her cheek had fallen into her hair.
Without saying anything, K carefully removed it from her strands.
His fingers brushed softly against her hair.
But Sana remembered it for weeks.
They rarely met outside school.
Even though their houses were ridiculously close.
Their chats definitely did not feel like friendship anymore.
During Halloween, their class took pictures together using Sana’s phone.
K stood near the window while orange sunset light hit his face perfectly.
Sana took one picture and immediately gasped.
S
This picture is insanely handsome
Sana rolled her eyes but secretly saved the picture twice.
Later that year, Sana joined a school trip.
While walking with her classmates, she briefly saw a younger boy passing by.
The boy was honestly really handsome.
That night, while lying on her hotel bed, Sana texted him.
S
I met someone who kinda looks like you today
K
Someone as handsome as me exists?
Hours later, after dinner and the school gala, Sana finally replied again.
S
…I think you’re still slightly better though
\(//O_O//)\
K reacted to the message with a lot of heart emojis.
And Sana stared at the screen for way too long afterward.
