Nayeon and Jeongyeon's relationship since they were children wasn't all sweet and cuddly.

Jeongyeon would often tease Nayeon and Nayeon would do the same.

"Yoo Jeongyeon!" The bunny teethed girl shouted. Jeongyeon was running away from the older girl chasing her.

"Give that back!" Nayeon said and pulled Jeongyeon's shirt making the younger fall down on the hard pavement. The older kept on pulling her diary away from Jeongyeon but of course the younger was way stronger so she still had the strength to read at least a line from Nayeon's diary.

"Dear diary, i like a short haired person. that person is annoying!!! but that person is also cute. I don't know what to do! I have a crush on y-" Jeongyeon read with a high pitched and strained voice to annoy Nayeon. But she didn't know it was her, that cute, short haired, annoying person was her.

"I HATE YOU SO BAD!" 12 year old Nayeon shouted at 11 year old Jeongyeon that was laughing and teasing Nayeon.

"You like someone?!! That's dumb and funny!"
Jeongyeon said.

Nayeon's blood boiled at what the younger said. She was so mad but she couldn't seem to fight back, she liked Jeongyeon. She ran away and went home with tears welling up in the corners of her eyes.

After seeing Nayeon running away home, Jeongyeon's heart ached. She felt sad that her unnie liked someone, Jeongyeon hated it. She hated that Nayeon liked someone.

Maybe she didn't want Nayeon to be hurt or maybe she liked her. She was so confused.

"The company wanted to cut my hair shorter." Jeongyeon explained at the laughing girl in front of her.

"And you did it?"

"Obviously!" Jeongyeon said and ruffled her own hair out of frustration.

"I look like a boy! I can't be Kyungwan again!!!!" Jeongyeon shouted.

"Oh? Hi Kyungwan oppa!" Nayeon teased. Kyungwan was Jeongyeon's real name but she decided to go with Jeongyeon since Kyungwan was too boyish.

"I hate you." Jeongyeon said and glared at Nayeon.

But deep inside, Nayeon liked her new haircut. It made her look a little bit boyish but she was still pretty. Nayeon liked any haircut for Jeongyeon, she thinks the girl looks perfect even if she would go bald.

"I like it though." That was Nayeon wanted to say. But instead she just stayed quiet and laughed every time looked at Jeongyeon.

This day, Nayeon's mother died.

Nayeon was wearing a black hanbok while sitting at the corner while looking at the frame that had her mother's picture.

Jeongyeon was looking at her across the room. Nayeon was crying but Jeongyeon couldn't go near her. She could just watch from afar and just look at the devastated girl mourning for her beloved mother.

The place was loud and the visitors were drinking and some of them are gambling. Nayeon's father and sister was serving food and chatting with some relatives.

Nayeon couldn't talk to anyone, her heart was hurting too much. It felt like half of her soul left.

"Go comfort her Jeongyeon-ah" Jihyo said behind her and tapped her shoulder.

"She needs time by herself Hyo. Let her mourn quietly, she needs it."

"Nayeon unnie isn't that type of person, she'd hurt more if she's crying alone. She has always been dependent to her mom, she loved her mom so much, and now that her mom isn't here anymore, she needs a new person to depend on." Jihyo said. Jeongyeon looked at Jihyo.

"What i'm telling you is go and let Nayeon unnie depend on you." Jihyo said and slightly pushed Jeongyeon away.

She glared at the girl.

"What? Go and comfort her Jeongyeon-ah."

Jeongyeon went to Nayeon and slowly sat beside her.

"Jeongyeon-ah..." Nayeon called her name and cried loudly. Jeongyeon engulfed Nayeon with her arms and rubbed her back.

"I..i'm here for you....unnie..." Jeongyeon said while feeling Nayeon's tears wetting her top. She let Nayeon place her head on her shoulder and she felt a tear escape her eye.

She doesn't like this Nayeon.

She likes the happy Nayeon.

She likes the Nayeon who teases her.

She likes the Nayeon who chases her.

She likes the Nayeon that doesn't cry.

Nayeon sobs pierced Jeongyeon's heart.

Nayeon kept on saying 'Eomma' while still sobbing hard on Jeongyeon's arms.

Also,

That day,

Jeongyeon realized that she hated how Nayeon sounds while she's crying.

That day,

Nayeon felt warmth in Jeongyeon's arms.
