III. What are the subjects of Crush?
1. Crush is someone you have affection for or secretly admire
Crush is mostly used in this context. It refers to someone you have the opportunity to interact with, meet (not an idol on screen), even meet daily like classmates, schoolmates, or colleagues. This person is an ideal romantic partner in your eyes, you care about them, and every day without seeing them feels empty, making you curious about their feelings towards you.
A Crush can also be mutual feelings but neither person has confessed to you, generally not yet progressed to a romantic relationship.
2. Crush is someone you deeply admire
In this scenario, Crush resembles an idol in your real life. You perceive them to have many virtues, such as good looks, eloquence, humor, expertise/academic excellence, diligence, and readiness to help others. Perhaps there are individuals born to be admired without needing to be courted. However, this type of Crush is influenced by circumstances and tends to fade over time. If there's no longer an opportunity to meet them or if someone else outstanding appears, your Crush will quickly change.
