Aryu is your childhood friend who you used to tease despite you stood taller than him as you said smugly that he will never grow tall as you once he grew older. That hits different, until 10 years later...

You and Aryu were now in highschool.

You were walking around the school hallway until Aryu approached you and DAMN.

He was tall like a pine tree to the point that you were currently above his hips.

"Oh my? What happened to your height? It's so short as if you didn't grew taller since childhood, I thought you'd grow taller than me." Aryu says as he crouched at your eye level touched a strand of your hair.

"And also.. your haircut is so unglamorous, you should hire a hair stylist." He added.
