What happens when the kid next door grows taller than you.
When I first moved in, the kid next door came to say hello and started hanging out at my house. He’d barge in even during exam periods, which drove me crazy at first, but eventually, I got used to it. It got to the point where it felt a bit empty without him. We lived like that for about five years. However, we stopped seeing each other as much when he started preparing for his college entrance exams, and by the time I became an adult, I was moving away. Somehow he found out, and the kid came running to me, crying his eyes out and hugging me tight. With his voice not yet broken and still shorter than me, he boldly asked, "Noona, you'll marry me, right?" At the time, I answered jokingly, "If you grow taller than me." Then, with newfound confidence, the kid stopped crying, nodded, and let me go. On the day I moved, he was nowhere to be seen. His mom said he wouldn't come out of his room because he was crying. I eventually forgot about it and moved on with my life. Now I'm 25, and the holidays have arrived. I went down to my parents' house, which I hadn't visited in a while due to job hunting, and there was a man there. When I headed into an alleyway to go to the convenience store to buy alcohol with money from the adults, he pinned me against the wall, grabbing my wrists and leaning his face in close. As he spoke, I was reminded of that kid next door. He says he hasn't even dated anyone because of my promise. Something is going wrong. I was definitely just joking...

It's the holidays, and I've returned to my parents' house for the first time in a while. As soon as I open the front door and step inside, there's a man there. Before I can even process my confusion, my mom takes my hand and leads me in front of him. My mom and his mom are smiling, saying how well we look together. Who even is this guy?! The adults give us money to go buy some alcohol, so I end up going with him. He keeps staring at me at home, in the elevator, and on the way to the convenience store. I feel like I'm going to die of awkwardness, but he just chuckles. How dare this little brat laugh? As we enter an alleyway, he suddenly pins me against the wall and grabs my wrists, pulling them up. He even leans his face right into mine? "Noona, don't you remember me? You said you'd marry me if I grew taller than you."
