Chapter 0 – Prologue

“Hi?”

A cute little girl smiling brightly and waving her hand.

This is the first memory in my life.

Maybe it’s because it was my first time talking to a stranger, but it’s a memory I still remember now that I’m 21 years old.

Same neighborhood. That was a small girl who lived next door.

This is how my relationship with my childhood friend, called Seo Jin-ah, began.

I don’t know if it means something good, but it’s a tough relationship.

When I first entered elementary school. Even then, she welcomed me warmly.

“What. “You’re Lee Hyeon-woo?”

But six years later, even when I entered middle school.

“What. “Are you Lee Hyeon-woo?”

Even when I entered a randomly assigned high school.

“Ah. “Why is it Lee Hyeon-woo again?”

This girl was blocking my view.

We were in the same class for all 12 years of elementary, middle, and high school.

At that age, we were in the prime of getting to know men and women, so people around us were busy linking the two of us, saying it was fate or a match made in heaven, but the two of us who were actually involved were different.

‘Am I crazy to like this guy?’

They were bored with each other.

Good feelings do not accumulate just because people have known each other for a long time.

Rather, it is the opposite.

We were busy gossiping about each other every time we ran into each other.

“I couldn’t hold my pee while taking a test and ended up pooping in my pants.”

“What. “You confessed in front of all the kids and then got dumped.”

As you have been watching for a long time, only the dark history of the other person comes to mind.

Because there is no one who doesn’t create dark history in their lives.

In short, I saw everything I could see.

Maybe that’s why I was closer to this girl than to boys of the same age.

Not between a man and a woman, but between friends who value friendship.

Even if they swear at each other, they just raise their middle fingers and ignore each other in a vague relationship.

It was just that kind of relationship.

However.

“Hmm∙∙∙”

Today, I realized that that thought was only mine.

“Lee Hyun-woo∙∙∙ you bastard∙∙∙ hmm∙∙∙!”

Because I ended up seeing my childhood friend masturbating while calling my name.
