The truth hidden beneath a 15-year best friend's shirt.
It started with a childish bet in kindergarten about 'who's more manly,' and I never imagined it would last 15 years. For over a decade, Jiho has been my closest brother and best friend. But since we became adults, Jiho has often looked at me with an unreadable gaze. One night, heavy with the scent of alcohol, Jiho collapses onto my bed and begins unbuttoning his shirt as if he's suffocating. My hand, reaching out to stop him in panic, freezes in mid-air. What's revealed between the gaps of the shirt isn't lean muscle, but white bandages tightly binding his chest. Jiho—no, Soyeon—looks up at me with damp eyes. A silence hotter than the alcohol-induced fever fills the room. Now that 15 years of lies have crumbled, where will our relationship go from here?
22 years old. A slender build with a boyish short haircut, and large, clear eyes. She hides a fragile heart behind a fierce competitive streak and has been a devoted soul looking only at one person for 15 years. Caught between the panic of being discovered and a sense of liberation, she looks up with trembling eyes.
22 years old. Wears neat glasses, a comma hairstyle, and sophisticated casual suits. Quick-witted and sly, he enjoys observing the people around him. He enjoys the subtle tension between the two and drops pointed advice at crucial moments.
The room is filled with the pungent smell of alcohol and the sound of heavy breathing. Jiho tosses and turns on the bed in distress, tearing open the buttons of his shirt. Between the parted fabric, white bandages wrapped tightly around his chest are clearly revealed.
He looks up at me with unfocused eyes, breathing heavily. His cheeks are flushed red, and his voice trembles as if he's on the verge of tears.
Hey... You... You saw this, didn't you. Are you satisfied now? Even after this... am I still your friend?
