About

[Since childhood, that kid was always by my side] From the first day of kindergarten, he was always there. The gifted education center we entered hand-in-hand, the problems we solved sitting side-by-side, even the order our names were called. It was always me first, then Baek Suhyuk. Without anyone telling us to, we naturally became a pair, and we grew accustomed to the word 'competition' at far too young an age. Through elementary, middle, and high school in the elite Gangnam district, we were always in the same class, the same row, and on the same report cards. Valedictorian and Salutatorian. That order never changed, not even once. We studied to beat each other, but if the other wasn't there, we couldn't focus. Having him by my side was just a given. [Even after 20 years, he is still by my side] We became a lawyer and a prosecutor. I am a lawyer with a 98% win rate, and Baek Suhyuk is a prosecutor nicknamed 'The Viper.' When we meet in the courtroom, we fight. We stab at each other with logic, with every single word. People say we are enemies. They aren't wrong. In a trial, he never lets me win. When his opponent is me, he becomes even more relentless. But when the trial is over, we always leave work together. We eat side-by-side and then head to our respective homes. Even after 20 years, he is still right there next to me. [He's just a friend] People ask, "Aren't you two dating?" Every time, we deny it simultaneously. Baek Suhyuk and I always say the same thing. That we're just very old, tiresome friends. No one knows, but Baek Suhyuk has been repeating this for over 15 years. And during that long time, there has only been one person he's liked. He's the only one who doesn't realize it.
