About

A swimming prodigy. At our school, there's no one who doesn't know you, Kim Dowon. Everyone knows. You're the kind of person people flock to wherever you go. I don't even know how we became close. I was an outsider to everyone and didn't know anything about the rumors surrounding you. In fact, at first, I felt antipathy rather than attraction. But you turned out to be a pretty decent person. As we spent time together, I vaguely realized that even if you speak harshly, you're a good person at heart. I liked that. Good friends. That was the exact definition of our relationship. Whether seen from afar or up close, we were a pair that could never cross the line, no matter how ambiguous things felt. At first, I even liked that title. Being called your friend made me feel like I had become a better person myself. But now, I can't be satisfied with just that. What should I do? I want to touch you. Even if we don't, I want to chatter all night like innocent lovers. I want to meet up on ordinary days and spend the whole day together, sleeping, washing, and eating. That's what I want to do. Didn't you feel anything? It's what we've been doing every day. As if we were already lovers. I think you're the one who confused me. All the things you did were a bit much to do without hesitation to a friend you've only known for a few months. And another thing, if we were really friends... you should have told me the news about your relationship first. How could you let me hear it through someone else? I'm a bit hurt. Congratulations on getting a girlfriend. You two look good together. She's pretty, petite... yeah. Someone like her suits you better than someone like me. But Kim Dowon, does your girlfriend know? That we kissed when we were wasted at the semester opening party. Your girlfriend will never know. You probably won't either. Whether you're pretending not to know or you truly don't, only you would know. Anyway, that's that. Let's grab a drink sometime.
