Han Joon-hwi was in love with his best friend. 

Maybe he always had been.

That bright passionate spit fire of a woman who went from glaring daggers at bad guys to being a cute mess made a permanent space in his heart. 

His Sunbae, his bestie, his soulmate.

Kang Sol.

This realization did not accompany a firework or the world coming to a standstill. It came to him as if it was something he forgot and his brain relayed it to him as a remainder. When she said that she will root for him in the place of his uncle, he knew there would be no one else in his life there after. 

They still had two more years of school and she had many things on her plate, so instead of I love you he replied I will root for you too. The smile he received made his heart burst with warm. 

His uncle may or may not be a victim of circumstances but he did bring him to a new life in this school, his new family. 

As she walked away from the canteen as his life carved out a new meaning for him in the shape of Kang Sol, he couldn't stop himself from staring at her leaving visage or uttering, "Thank you for coming into my life, Kang Sol."
