No one believe it.
No one believe that he's a friend of mine.
Even though they saw it with their own eyes.
"Yah,"
I just walk away when he called for me once I get out from the school gate.
"Ah yah, Yeong!"
He catch up with me and at the same time, it makes me groan at how the girls around me squeal when they see him.
I let out an oof when he draped his arms around my shoulder, "Yah, are you avoiding me?"
Groaning, I easily get out from his grip as I bend over while pushing his arms away.
"Correction, I'm ignoring you okay? How am I supposed to avoid you when you just stay few house away from mine?"
I said and he just grinned.
Damn his smile, the girls are squealing so much.
I'm going deaf soon!
"So you do know."
I rolled my eyes while pushing my glasses up on the bridge of my nose before walking away.
"Ah yah, let's go together! I came to pick you up so that we can get tteokbokki!"
"Ah haljima! You are not even my brother and you don't have to do that!"
We argue all the way to the restaurant.
It's a very old restaurant around the neighbourhood.
We always grab some to eat before we go home.
But, glances.
At first I hate it.
Because I only get it when I'm with him.
So I used to hate him when we are little.
We knew each other when we were 3 years old and since then, we are inseparable.
Although we argue every day.
But I eventually got used to it.
For being the ugly duckling while having a Swan by my side.
At some point of time, they start to bad mouth about me.
They talk about how hideous I look like when I stand beside him.
They talk about how dreamy he looks like as a comic character.
Could you imagine?
Kids are obsessed with handsome and pretty faces just like adults.
8 years passed and we are 11 years old.
We just enter junior high but we went to different school.
He wanted us to attend the school together just like how we were when we attend kindergarten together.
I never liked it.
Girls keep asking me to pass things to him even if we are still too young to talk about love.
And some of them even bullied me after knowing that we are close as friends.
"You are not eating?"
I didn't hear him when I could see how those girls giving me looks from the corner.
I'm afraid of them, I am.
"Yeong!"
He pinched my face and I finally snapped back to my sense, meeting his eyes.
