SPRING OF 2009

"You have a crush on Hyunjin! You have a crush on Hyunjin! You have a crush on Hyunjin!" Chenle chanted from the other side of the couch.
The two best friends were killing time at some old investor's house by sitting in the parlor room and messing around with their devices.
Everything was calm and going well until the boy decided to confirm a rumor he had heard about Xia.
Next thing you know, he's relentlessly making fun of the girl as she tried her best to ignore him.
"Shut up, Lele." She said sternly, not even looking up from her phone. "Leave me alone."
"What? You love him. You want to kiss him," he continued to make obnoxious 'kissy' faces. Then he collapsed into a fit of laughter.
Her face scrunched up in disgust. "No, gross. Boys have germs."
"Me too?" He asked with a mischievous smile.
Xia looked over at him with a frustrated expression.
"Yes, you're the worst out of all of the boys!"
With that, Chenle lunged forward towards the girl, nearly knocking the phone out of her hands.
He wrapped his arms around her and pretended to give her a big kiss.
"Ugh, Chenle, gross! Get off of me!" She exclaimed, trying to push him off.
"Just imagine I'm your boyfriend Hyunjin," he said tauntingly, but he still backed up a bit.
The girl was quite smaller than him. Which had been the case for a couple years.
Although he wanted to make fun of her, he had no intention of hurting her. Seeing the uncomfortable look in her eyes he decided to give her the space she asked for.
He remembered what his mother had said about respecting people's boundaries, especially when it came to Xia.
'I know she's your best friend but she's a lot smaller than you and more delicate.'
He was meant to be kind and gentle with her.
Xia, on the other hand...
The girl pushed him rather harshly off the couch and onto the floor.
"Stop it or I'm going to tell my mom that I want to leave."
It was the threat that always worked on him. Because no matter how much he poked fun and messed with her, he still wanted her to stay.
His life would be boring without her.
"Okay, okay. I'll stop. Don't go." The boy picked himself up off the floor and sat in the same spot as before.
"You're so weird," she said, going back to her game.
"No, I'm not," Chenle disagreed. "Hyunjin's the weird one."
He was starting to dislike the other boy and he couldn't really understand why.
"Hyunjin isn't weird. He's cool. Not like you would know."
