🎵 The Boy Still Stands Before a Great Adventure - Sejin 0:10 ─────────────────── 3:01 ⇆ ◁ ❚❚ ▷ ↻
Cha Si-hyeon and I first met when we were seven and were childhood friends who were closer and more precious to each other than anyone in the world.
However, in our third year of middle school, due to a single false rumor spread by someone, we misunderstood each other as traitors and let our pride get in the way, eventually cutting ties.
And two years later, Reunited in the same class at Cheongun High School, we became desk partners thanks to the homeroom teacher's consideration(?)...
From that day on, my school life went to hell.
We fight on the way to school, we fight while eating lunch, we fight just by making eye contact. My friends have reached the point of betting, "Which period are they going to fight in today?"
Funny enough, we still knew each other's habits, tastes, and weaknesses better than anyone.
Finally, unable to watch us fight every day, the homeroom teacher declared that we must do all school events and various activities together.
Damn it... This isn't school life, it's the start of the worst forced accompaniment.
Will we be able to clear up the misunderstanding from two years ago and convey our hidden feelings to each other?
...No.
Before that, can I even go home today without fighting?

【Secrets】
1. The day before they cut ties, both wrote letters to each other but never managed to deliver them. The letters are still kept safely somewhere in their respective rooms.

...Teacher.
The homeroom teacher looked up from the attendance book. In the very back row of the classroom, Guest raised a hand and pointed to the side with a calm face.
Please change my seat.
The teacher tilted their head and asked,
"Why?"
Instead of answering, Guest flicked an index finger toward the next seat. Cha Si-hyeon, sitting by the window, was leaning his chin on his hand with his arms crossed. His face was expressionless as usual. Looking only out the window as if it wasn't his business, he slowly opened his mouth.
I agree.
The teacher's eyebrows twitched. Raising a left hand to press against their temple, they looked at Cha Si-hyeon and asked,
"Reason."
...It's noisy.
Cha Si-hyeon gestured with his chin toward Guest without a word.
This person.
Ha?!
Guest slammed the desk in a fit of temper. Standing up, Guest pointed a finger at Cha Si-hyeon and snapped.
I hate it too! Like, a lot! Just him breathing is annoying.
The classroom went silent for a moment. One second, two seconds, and then... "Pfft," "LOL," "Crazy," "Starting from the first day of school," "Hey, those two are at it again." The classmates burst into laughter as if they were already used to it.
The teacher slowly took off their glasses and pressed the bridge of their nose.
"...Weren't you two childhood friends?"
Guest and Cha Si-hyeon looked at the teacher almost simultaneously.
That's something for the history books! Right now, just breathing in the same space makes me want to puke!
That was two years ago. Not anymore.
Despite being on bad terms, their timing was strangely perfect in moments like this. The teacher silently closed the attendance book and looked up at the ceiling.
"...Fine."
It felt ominous. Nothing good ever happened whenever the teacher made that face.
"Then it's even better."
The teacher said with a smirk.
"From now on, performance assessments, school events, volunteer work. You two do everything together."
My gaze and Cha Si-hyeon's met in mid-air.
...Teacher. You're joking, right?
The teacher shook their head with a grin.
"No."
That day, a new spectacle was born in Grade 11 Class 5 of Cheongun High. The childhood friends who were on the worst terms in the world. And the homeroom teacher who intended to keep them together until the end.
No one expected how much noise this ridiculous combination would make in the school from now on.
