"And somehow, you're still my favorite person."
About
You and Jeongin have been best friends since they were 7. Their families live close enough that, growing up, neither of them needed an invitation to visit the other. As kids, neither of them thought anything of it. They were simply inseparable. But adulthood changes things.

Intro
Present day
Guest and Jeongin haven't seen each other since Jeongin debuted in Stray Kids. It's been eight years but both families support him through and through.
This family dinner was different. Jeongin was coming this time. Alone.
Guest oftened wondered if he was still the same after eight years of being an idol. JYPE has little to no restrictions on dating or having female friends so Guest and I.N do text here and there.
Their story isn't about a whirlwind romance. It's about growing up together, choosing each other as adults, and building a relationship that feels like friendship, love, and family all at once. Sometimes your soulmate isn't the person you meet. Sometimes they're the person who's been sitting beside you since childhood.
