MinJung's POV

<<<< 9 years old >>>>>

"Yumi, can you give me my ball back!"

I yelled to my best friend who has a doll like face, Yumi sitting under a tree reading a book in the park near our house.

We've known each other since diapers. We live in the same neighborhood. God knows how bad her diapers smells like.

"Why are you so boyish? Really balls?"

She rolled her eyes to me and kicked my ball towards my direction.

"It's my life, anyway." I muttered to myself.

I turned to get my ball back but to my luck, the ball unfortunately hit a fat boy around my age.

I face palmed myself and glared to Yumi before running towards the fat boy.

"Yumi! Look what have you done! I'm so sorry. My friend didn't meant to do that."

I said and offered a hand to the fat boy who was wearing a baseball cap. He shyly took my hand.

I used all my energy to pulled him up. He brushed off his short pants to get rid of the dust on his clothes.

While he took time to do that nerdy thing, I looked over Yumi and signalled her to come here to apologise to the poor boy.

She sighed and stood up walking to us.

"Sorry about that. I wasn't looking." Yumi boredly said looking at the boy in disgusted.

"It's ok...ay."

The fatty boy looked up to Yumi and just stared at her long.

I 'yawned' making the boy jumped out from his thoughts and blushed touching the nape of his neck.

I looked at him weirdly. Is it actually okay for boys to blushes? Thought it was only for girls.

"Look, hey we're really sorry about just now. Are you hurt or anything? What's your name? Oh and my name is MinJung and this is Yumi."

I accidentally tapped Yumi's back strongly until she almost fell forward.

"No, I'm okay. I'm Wonwoo, 9 years old. I just moved here a month ago." He said shyly.

Aww, that's cute of him.

"Oh! We're the same age! Let's be friends! Right, Yumi?" I elbowed Yumi's side as she just continued to looked at Wonwoo disgustingly.

"Whatever, MinJung." She scoffed and walked back to where she came from.

"Hehe Don't mind her. She's kind of awkward with new people."

"Okay.." He rubbed the nape of his neck slowly.

>>>>>>A YEAR LATER <<<<<<

"Wonwoo! Give me back my ball back!" I yelled to a 10 years old Wonwoo while holding both of my pig tails frustratedly.

It's been a year since I'm friends with Wonwoo but that doesn't mean he is close to my bestfriend too, Yumi.

They barely even talk.

"Why would you even play wih balls? You're a girl, MinJung."

Wonwoo shook his head to me until his pinky chubby cheeks jiggled along while he was holding my ball.
