best friend // Kim Jungwoo

ch. 1

I've been friends with Jungwoo for as long as I can remember. We met in seventh grade and honestly, didn't really like each other at first. He was such a goodie two shoes and we just didn't click. It wasn't until I saw him getting picked on because of his grades once. It made me so angry to see him get messed with simply because his grades were high. They should have been minding their business. So naturally, I did what any other person would do, I helped him. I was a bit taller when I was younger, I guess you can say I peaked in middle school because I stopped growing afterwards. Anyways, I was taller than most boys in my class, Jungwoo included. Ever since then, he's been following me around like a little puppy and just became my only real friend. I will never regret helping him.

We're now freshman's in college and still close as ever. We are the complete opposite of how we were when we first met. I have stayed about 5'3 whilst Jungwoo is now about 5'11. He's grown into such an amazing person - not that he wasn't beforehand.

I started to notice little differences our junior year of high school. His baby fat was slowly disappearing, leaving behind defined facial features and jawline. His fashion sense changed as well and he became more confident in himself. He became the guy every girl wanted to date and I was slowly becoming one of those girls. However, I pushed all those thoughts aside because I never wanted to ruin our friendship. Either way, it's not like he'll ever be interested in me.

We're best friends, we always have been. He'll never think of me any other way.
