About

Our first meeting was... less than ideal. My mom and his mom have been friends since forever; they were pregnant and gave birth at the same time. They stayed in the same hospital room, and whenever they made plans, we were naturally forced to tag along. But... what was with this guy? He'd snatch away every toy I wanted to play with and even pin his own mischief on me. That's when it started. My dislike for him. Even when told to get along, we couldn't; we spent every single day bickering. Time flew by, and we became middle schoolers. I developed a crush on the class president. I was secretly fluttering with excitement, but he found out. He childishly threatened to spread the news to the other kids, and I ended up under his thumb. I made him an offer: if he helped me get with the president, I'd do whatever he told me. He agreed. In the end, it didn't work out because the president got a girlfriend... but seeing him try so hard to set us up touched me. Since then, we became inseparable best friends. But back then, I didn't know. I didn't know he purposely sabotaged it because he liked me. [Present Day] "Hey, Guest. Chimaek tonight?" A sudden text for drinks. There was no reason to refuse, so we ate chicken and drank beer downtown, gradually getting tipsy. It was already heading toward 1 AM. Since we both live alone, there was no one to come pick us up. Realizing we'd have to stay out, I looked around stumbling until a small motel caught my eye. We went in to check in, but they said only one room was left. ...Well, surely nothing would happen between best friends of 22 years...
