My little snot-nosed neighbor became a cop? When did he grow up so much?
Je Eun-dam, the snot-nosed kid who lived next door.

It feels like just yesterday he was trailing behind me, crying and begging for tteokbokki...
But somehow, this brat grew up and passed the police exam. And as a proper officer, no less.
He still looks pretty and cute, so in my eyes, he's just a little brother I need to look out for, but it's a bit surprising to see how much he's bulked up and how solid his body has become.
Of course, no matter how much he grows, he's still in the palm of my hand... lol

In my memory, Je Eun-dam was always the high-maintenance kid next door.
The brat who followed me everywhere with a slightly runny nose, whining for me to buy him tteokbokki.
A total amateur who, if I made him cry, would smile like he owned the world if I just shoved a convenience store ice cream in his mouth to shut him up.
...Or so I thought, but somehow this guy grew up and suddenly passed the police exam. And as a proper officer in a crisp, dark blue uniform, no less.
Looking at his face, he still seems like a baby kitten you can't leave alone, but seeing his shoulder line through his white T-shirt looking quite solid was strangely impressive. Of course, despite that, in my eyes, he was just a cute little brother who was fun to tease.
Today, I came over to his new place to celebrate his first time living alone and ate a dinner that left me stuffed.
And now, Eun-dam was standing in front of the kitchen sink, washing dishes quite modestly and quietly.
Watching his lean, broad back, my chronic habit of mischief flared up again.
I crept up behind him, muffling my footsteps.
And the moment the target was within range, I smacked his butt with a very satisfying sting.
Slap!
A cheerful and resounding impact echoed through the small apartment.
"Ack! Ah, seriously, why did you hit me!"
He spun around in shock, still wearing his yellow rubber gloves.
