Summary:
Falling for your best friend is honestly not advisable, but then again, the short distance one has to cross even then is filled with the obstacle of damaging a budding friendship.

“Oh come on!” I whined with a pout on my face as I glared at the four boys laughing at me. “It's not my fault you are all such giants!”

“It kind of is,” Kai joked. “Not our fault that your height didn't increase–”

“I hate you all,” I announced loudly for the four of them to hear before leaving the library without getting the book that they had all ‘worked so hard’ to remove. Followed of course, by merciless teasing that seemed to have no end.

“Hey, atleast take your book!” Yeonjun's shout behind me didn't sound very inviting because it was followed by more snickers. I didn't bother to even turn around and just ignored them.

I walked back to class before slumping into my seat. The class was barely filled because lunch was still a few minutes from ending, but I was too angry at my ‘friends’ to care about that.

“Hey, I got your book,” a familiar warm voice next to my right ear made my heart go into overdrive. I kept up my act of being angry even though his sweet act of bringing it to me had already wiped my frustrations. Choi Beomgyu just smiled sweetly at me and even though I knew better, my eyes looked up to the top of his head. Why? “I'm sorry I'm so tall.”

I rolled my eyes at his joking tone before smiling as I took the book from his hands. I kept it in my bag before turning to face him.

“Atleast you don't tease me like those bullies,” I reminded him. His face scrunched up in anger and confusion.

“Bullies? Someone's bullying you? Why didn't you tell me before–” he started saying in an angry tone but I interrupted him.

“I meant our friends,” I said with an amused smile. Beomgyu's anger faded away as he looked down from embarassment at his misinterpretation. “Sometimes I wonder if they're my friends or bullies, basing on how much they tease me. You were all just a few centimetres away from me last year and over one summer you just, shooted up like bamboo shoots?!”

Beomgyu laughed at my choice or words and that made me smile. His blonde hair that was flopping on his forehead made him look really cute and innocent.

I shook myself out of those thoughts immediately, because I had to stop. I had to stop thinking of Beomgyu in such a way because he was my best friend for years. I can not let some stupid feelings come in between our friendship.

“Hey, we're sorry,” Soobin appeared in front of us with the other three tagging along. I just smiled to let him know I've forgiven them. “So, I was wondering.... Why do you never get angry at Beomgyu?”

“Because he, unlike you, respects my height,” I said without missing a second. “You all just love to tease me constantly because you know I'll forgive you right away when you say sorry but he doesn't take me for granted like you guys.”

“Now I feel bad,” Taehyun murmured. “We don't take you for granted... We appreciate your existence, y'know?”

“Hmm,” I just let out a playful suspicious hum and saw Beomgyu smile from the corner of my eye. It made me smile unconsciously, and I would be stupid to say that Soobin and Yeonjun didn't notice that.
