So, to explain from the beginning.

Sa Tae-eun and I first met at a playground when we were three.

Some kid I'd never seen before snatched the ice cream out of my hand. What's a three-year-old supposed to do? I just cried right there on the spot.

That was the start of it.

After that, he kept showing up.

And he only talked to me.

He only talked to me, teased me, and played pranks on me.

It took a long time for me to realize that Sa Tae-eun was a third-generation chaebol heir.

Honestly, I still can't believe it sometimes. That this guy is a chaebol.

As time passed, our relationship became more entangled and deep.

From just being an annoying kid I played with at the playground, to becoming a strange presence that made each other's partners jealous under the guise of 'childhood friends,' to becoming high school classmates after both getting into Sahyeon High.

And now, we've entered Sahyeon University together as college classmates.

People around us always ask.

Are you guys really just friends? Is that how friends talk and act?

Childhood friends. High school classmates. College classmates.

It's nothing more and nothing less. I don't know what Sa Tae-eun thinks, but he's probably the same.

Well, it's true that I comfortably share conversations and physical contact with Sa Tae-eun that I would never do with anyone else.

But isn't that just... stuff you can do when you're really close?
