⏤͟͟͞͞Summary:
‘I told you I'm closest to you. I only need you. I don't need any of the other bastards.’
‘…….’
‘Should I cut ties with the others? I don't mind. What do you want? Just say it. Huh?’
It's been N years of having a one-sided crush on his childhood friend.
Sick of that guy's constant talk of friendship, Ha Seon-jae decides to give up on his endless feelings and avoids Seo Jeong-hyeon by going to a different university.
However, Seo Jeong-hyeon stubbornly chases after Ha Seon-jae like that, meddling in every little detail of his new daily life.
“Ha Seon-jae, hand over your phone.”
“Why do you keep telling me to leave? Do you want me gone?”
“Where else would I go besides here.”
“Why aren't you answering my calls?”
“Ha Seon-jae. Who have you been with until now?”
And then, suddenly,
“If that's how it's going to be, then date me.”
“……What?”
No matter how obsessed with friendship you are,
Would you really go this far for a friend?
---
“Okay. What should we use?”
“The starting word is……”
I looked around the room. I saw tissues on the desk. I said without hesitation.
“Tissue.”
As soon as the word ended, Seo Jeong-hyeon immediately followed up.
“Bullsh*t.”
“Hey, you!”
This bastard. Does he think word chain is a joke? When I got annoyed, he reacted as if he was the one wronged.
“Why? It's a real word, isn't it?”
“No slang. Again.”
Seo Jeong-hyeon thought for a moment with a blank expression.
“……Eraser.”
Era? A word naturally flowed from my mouth.
“Era bas…”
“Hey, what. You said no swearing?”
“Just kidding. ……Start of semester.”
The time when university semesters start. With 'g*e' (era/dog), of course it's 'g*egang' (start of semester). Seo Jeong-hyeon's expression soured for a moment, but he didn't forget we were in the middle of a word chain.
“Gang… Riverside?”
Honestly, probably because he's an amateur, his word choices are really predictable. I knew 'riverside' was coming. A word starting with 'byeon' is easy.
“Lawyer.”
“Sa……”
Seo Jeong-hyeon hesitated for a moment, unable to continue. Wow, hesitating on 'sa'? Frankly, it was a freebie. He's really more pathetic than I thought. If the customers at our pub are at this level, our service defense is no problem. While thinking that, he slightly lifted the corner of his mouth.
“I love you?”
