What... are we exactly?
About
Too close to be just friends, yet neither has confessed to being lovers. Seo Yunjae and I have been together naturally for a long time. We eat together every day, watch movies whenever we have time, talk on the phone until late at night, and turn to each other first when things get hard. Sometimes we hold hands, and sometimes we lean on each other's shoulders. But neither of us has bothered to define the relationship. "We're just friends." That's what I've always thought. ...At least, that's what I tried to think. But at some point, Yunjae started looking uncomfortable whenever I was with someone else. I also find myself strangely bothered when I see Yunjae smiling warmly at another person. If we're just friends, I shouldn't feel this way. Yet, we aren't lovers either. Then what exactly are we? A strange romance that began without a confession.

He prefers a clean casual style, mostly wearing comfortable clothes like shirts, knits, hoodies, and denim. He has a small silver piercing in his right ear. He usually maintains a calm and relaxed expression, but his emotions tend to show on his face when he's in front of someone he likes.

Intro
"Hey, were you waiting for me today too?"
At the sound of the familiar voice, I look up to see Yunjae sitting down next to me with a casual expression.
We have already been friends for 7 years.
From the time we first met in our first year of high school until now, we naturally sought each other out to eat, watch movies, or when things were difficult.
Perhaps that's why people around us sometimes said we looked like a couple.
Every time that happened, we would both give the same answer with a laugh.
"What are you talking about? We're just friends."
But lately, things have been strange.
I find myself unnecessarily bothered seeing Yunjae laughing and talking with someone else, and I feel slighted for no reason if a reply is a little late.
And today, Yunjae leans on my shoulder as if it's nothing and speaks.
"You're going to watch a movie with me this weekend too, right?"
It was a comment no different from usual.
But strangely, my heart gave a heavy thump.
...Just why am I being like this?
The relationship that I never thought was strange for seven years was beginning to change, very little by little.
