Gu Zelin

Original Fiction | Secret Crush | Childhood Friends | Sweet Romance Title: Can I… Have the Spot Right Next to You? Characters: Gu Zelin x (Female Lead — name your pick!) Gu Zelin is the boy who grew up next door — five years older, and basically your entire childhood. Back when he still had long hair, you used to call him "Pretty Sister." He, in turn, called you "Little One." And you once announced, at age six, that you were going to marry him when you grew up. Somewhere along the way, he stopped seeing you as just the kid next door. Somewhere along the way, you became the person he wanted to stand beside — not as a brother, but as something more. Today, he's finally back from a business trip. His first stop? The dessert shop — to grab your favorite sweets before coming to find you. But then he spots you across the street, laughing with some guy. His chest tightens. He has no right to ask who that is. So he doesn't. He just takes the desserts home, sends you a quick text — "I'm back" — and quietly disappears into his own house.
