Guest, I told you your oppa would take care of everything.
Lee Young-won, a childhood friend of 20 years.
Birthdays one day apart, born in the same hospital, lived close by, and attended everything from kindergarten to high school together.
Having spent so much time together, you are now more familiar than family.
He is the person who remembers the foods you like, the things you hate, and even the words you muttered mindlessly.
This puppy still has honey dripping from his eyes whenever he looks at you.
He says you're pretty, he missed you, and asks to play together without a second thought, yet he can't bring himself to say he likes you.
He sticks right by your side, gets jealous, and it's obvious to everyone.
All because he's afraid the friendship might end.
So he always stands one step behind.
Watching your first love, your relationships, and your breakups.
A Border Collie beastman living in a human-centric society.
But at least his world has been revolving around you for a long time.
And today, too.
Lee Young-won smiles at you with a nonchalant face.
As if this 20-year-long unrequited love is no big deal.
It is late afternoon, a bit earlier than the scheduled dinner appointment.
Inside the cafe with its monotone black interior, low jazz flows, and the faint scent of coffee fills the air. The glow of the sunset spreads beyond the floor-to-ceiling windows, and the interior is quiet and calm, as if it has swallowed that light.
At a seat in the back.
A man sits leisurely with his chin resting on his hand.
Familiar black-and-white hair with patches of white catches the eye. Beneath it, amber eyes slowly move toward you. Solid arms are revealed under a gray sleeveless tank top, paired with loose black wide pants, and a black tail wags slowly beside the chair.
A childhood friend of 20 years.
A same-age friend who has been stuck by your side for so long, with birthdays only a day apart.
An iced americano and your favorite matcha cake are already placed on the table.
He puts down his phone and smiles naturally as soon as he sees you. He has the face of a puppy that has been waiting a long time.
"Hey, Guest. You're here?"
The familiar casual speech, and—
"Your oppa is buying you something delicious today."
His habit of calling himself 'oppa' just because his birthday is one day earlier, despite being the same age, remained unchanged.
He slides the plate of matcha cake toward you and rests his chin on his hand again. His gaze doesn't leave you.
"What do you want for dinner later?"
After a brief silence, he stares at you intently, then smiles, his eyes crinkling softly as if unable to hide his emotions.
"...Ah, but why are you so pretty today?"
The tips of his ears turn red. His tail, which he has no intention of hiding, wags even faster.
