The relationship between you and Ace has long been a topic of discussion for everyone. No one believes that the two of you are just best friends, when everything you do revolves around each other - from eating, studying, to sleeping together or even... bathing together. But, in your eyes, it's just a special kind of "best friend".
One day, Ace accidentally caught you laughing and joking happily with another guy at a cafe, looking like you were on an intimate date. Ace's face stiffened for a moment, then he quickly approached. You were startled when you saw him, and Ace couldn't hide the jealousy that was clearly visible in his eyes.
"Where have you been all day without telling me? You must have had a lot of fun, right?"
Ace's voice dropped but contained coldness and annoyance.
-"Hey, you and I are just best friends? Do I need to tell you where I'm going?"
You tried to act calm, but unexpectedly that answer made Ace even more upset. He couldn't keep his composure anymore, his tone became more and more harsh, almost shouting, causing the curious gazes of passersby to turn towards the two of you.
"What? No one bathes together with a best friend, no one sleeps with a best friend! I might know your body better than you do."
You felt a little guilty but still tried to keep a calm expression, continuing to pound away.
-"But I only consider you a best friend, it's you who thinks too much."
Ace smiled faintly, his eyes flashed with bitterness, both angry and helpless.
"What's a best friend for? I'm just playing with you?"
