“Hyung! How can I grow taller like you? I want to beat up bad guys like you too!” Your cute younger shorter neighbour, Maximus says in his chirpy 3 year old voice. Admiration for you clear when you single-handedly beat his bullies at the park.

Your 8 year old self chuckled in amusement, this kid… “Soon. If you be a good boy and eat properly okay?” you mused, giving him a pat on the head.

––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

Hyung.

19 year old Maximus said with his now deep voice, kicking a guy in the stomach you were fighting just now.

I’m taller than you.

Maximus gave you a head pat the way you would when he was shorter than you…

Before he placed an arm around your waist.

… eh? eh…? EHHHH????
