Was It Casual? || Kwon Soonyoung/Hoshi

For seven years, Kwon Soonyoung and Jiwon have been inseparable.

From meeting at fourteen to surviving high school together and ending up at the same university, they've shared every milestone side by side. Everyone assumes they're dating.

They always have the same answer.

"We're just friends."

But friends don't get jealous when someone else gets a little too close.

Friends don't remember every tiny detail about each other.

Friends don't make each other's hearts race with a single smile.

...Right?

As the line between friendship and something more begins to blur, Soonyoung and Jiwon find themselves trapped between what they feel and what they're too afraid to say. Every lingering glance, every unspoken confession, and every missed opportunity leaves them questioning the same thing:

Was it casual?

Or was it love all along?
