Haena was ten years old when she met Yejin. Gong Jooyoung was a great friend but Haena couldn't help but crave a female friend. Gong Jooyoung taught her how to make friends and reminded her that she didn't have to change to find a friend because a great friend will accept you for who you are. It was hard for Haena to approach the others that's why she was delighted when Yejin approached her and accepted Haena even though she doesn't have a bubbly personality and is often not expressive. Haena wasn't knowledgeable when it came to a person's feelings and emotions, especially about romance. She didn't grow up in an environment where love was often seen. You could say that 50% of her doesn't believe in love and the other 50% that she might believe in it was because of Gong Jooyoung and his family.

Haena often plays with Yejin and sleeps over at Gong Jooyoung's house. Yejin and Jooyoung weren't that close, they rarely spent time together because Jooyoung had new friends as well. But Haena and Jooyoung's friendship grew stronger and they were often mistaken as siblings. Haena's parents are often not home that's why she often stays at her neighbor's house which was Gong Jooyoung's. Haena would often share her moments with Jooyoung to Yejin.

Yejin once asked her, "Do you like Gong Jooyoung?"

Haena immediately nodded while smiling, "Of course I like him. I wouldn't be friends with him until now if I didn't."

"I'm asking about a different like, like a crush." Haena was confused and didn't know what to say but she made a mental note to ask Gong Jooyoung about it and learn about it. Haena took her time reading books about love, she knew what it meant but she was still somehow confused.

*****

Haena needed to live with her mother in another city and that made her change schools as well, she didn't want to leave Gong Jooyoung but she needed to obey her mother, instead, she promised Jooyoung to go over at weekends to spend time with him and Yejin.

"Haena! Here!" Yejin called out to her as she entered the cafe, Haena looked over at her friend and noticed that she was with someone.

Yejin smiled at her and noticed her curious looks at the girl sitting beside her, "Oh, by the way, this is Kwak Bogyeong. She's my new friend at school."

Haena nodded and greeted the girl, "Hello, I'm Byun Haena."

The girl smiled sweetly and greeted back, "Hello, nice meeting you. You're pretty like what Yejin said." Haena didn't know how to respond so she shyly smiled and took a seat. Haena's phone made a notification sound.

"Wait a sec, I'll just check this message." She took her phone and saw that Jooyoung messaged her asking if she wanted anything because he was at the supermarket. Haena just texted to buy milk and some potato chips for her.
