You and Hyunwook had been friends since you were 12. From silly jokes to late-night conversations, you two were inseparable.

But when you both entered different high schools, everything changed.

You thought Hyunwook didn’t want to text you anymore just because you weren’t in the same school.

Until one day, when you were 14, Hyunwook texted you:

Hyunwook: "Hey, do you have Minho's number?"

That one text somehow brought you two back together. From that day on, you started texting each other every day.

People around you always shipped you both.

"Ew, me and him? Never," you'd say.

"That's disgusting," Hyunwook would reply.

But deep down, something about your friendship felt... different.

You often overthought his cold responses.

"Sorry... I talk too much, right?" you asked one day.

Hyunwook replied, "No, I just respond like this to everyone. It’s not that I’m not interested."

At 18, you transferred to Hyunwook’s school due to personal reasons. After years apart, you were finally in the same school again.

Only a month after you transferred, rumors spread that one of your classmates liked you.

You told Hyunwook about it during recess while sitting on the bench.

Hyunwook looked uninterested, so you stopped talking.

After a moment of silence, he looked at you.

"What? Why did you stop talking?"

You blinked in surprise.

"You were... actually listening?"

"I always listen to you, idiot," he said, flicking your forehead lightly.

Your heart skipped a beat.

He acts like this to every girls, it jst friendly.. I shouldn't get attached
