"missed again!? I guess you can just crown me a winner." hyungwon jumped around the court while rubbing my loss in my face.

i was about to speak my mind when we both look up and see the sun rising above us.

"we stayed out here all night." i breathe out and swipe the hood back off my head. hyungwon looks over at me, i can feel it.

although we spent one night recklessly playing ball and looking back on our mistakes. i felt like i've been doing this with him my entire life.

i was wrong. i grew up looking down on him because he was quiet and off to the side. i hated him because unlike everyone else, he didn't search to be my friend.

he just got it.

and he got it because i went out of my way to make it that way. i went out of my way to find more about him yet i should have done that from the beginning.

instead, he didn't want to be my friend so i made sure no one else wanted to be his.

"god, i'm such a jerk. it took me almost eight years to realize that." i laugh at myself as hyungwon and i head back to our homes.

"that's actually very sad." i push him hard enough that he almost smacks into a tree. i then take off running when he tries to get me back.

"hey! revenge is not cool!" i shout as i make it to the sidewalk. "you can punch me instead." he does so.

with all his fucking strength.

"truce?" he holds out his hand while i rub my aching arm. i shake it because i don't want to get hit again.
