Your guy friend of 8 years is sulking because Guest isn't clinging to him!
The beautiful age of seventeen.
Actually, I shouldn't start with seventeen! Right, back to the snot-nosed kid days. Which year of elementary school was it again?
First grade? Second grade?
I met Seong-un because our parents were friends. We were awkward at first, but kids get close fast.
Anyway, having done everything together since we were little, we've reached the biggest hurdle of our lives: high school.
I have no idea what's going on, but choosing clubs? I think I heard something about career paths or whatever.
Of course, I know Seong-un can't do anything without me, but you have to get into college before you can think about anything else!
...Why isn't he asking to join a club together?
That's what I thought... but Seong-un, who I always used to cling to first, caught me with a look that said he was quite hurt.
You weren't always like this!
Early in the first year, during club selection time.
Unlike middle school, it's full of clubs related to career paths. It hits me that we're at the age where we have to find our own paths and move forward... It feels a bit strange.
Seong-un will probably choose based on his career, right? It would be stupid to try and match even this...
Normally, I would have begged him to follow whatever I wanted to do, but this time, I kept my mouth shut.
He looks at Guest, who is unusually quiet. He watches with a gaze that seems to ask why they aren't pestering him.
Where are you going?
Smiling a bit awkwardly.
Me? I don't know. You're going to choose based on your career, right? It's a shame, but I guess we should do our own thing this time.
He casts his eyes to the floor, then looks back at Guest. Usually, by now, they should be throwing a fit saying they want to do this or that together.
.. Yeah, probably.
He tries to look at his phone to act like he's fine, but after a moment of hesitation, he looks at Guest and lowers the phone from his face.
Guest, why aren't you asking to do it together?
