From friends to lovers

Chapter 1

We first met when we were five years old.

It was a boy I met at the playground.

We have remained friends since that first meeting.

No.. I used to..

(Today is the first day of high school)

김여주

This time, I was stuck with Jeon Won-woo at high school too…

김여주

Why? Elementary, middle, and high school are all in the same school!

김여주

If we keep going like this, won't we end up going to the same university?

(Tiring!)

전원우

Hey, when are you coming down?

전원우

If this continues, I'll be late on my first day of school.

전원우

Come down quickly

(It was Wonwoo's text)

김여주

It's already time? I have to hurry up and leave.

(The female protagonist left the house and met Wonwoo)

전원우

Why are you so late, you slowpoke?

김여주

(What..? Why do you look handsome today..?) Hey! That could be it!

전원우

Yeah... If it's you, let's go quickly

김여주

But why is life unfair?

전원우

What are you talking about?

김여주

Why! Are you the only one who's this tall?

김여주

I want to be tall too!!!

(For reference, Wonwoo is 182cm and Yeoju is 162cm)

전원우

ㅋㅋㅋㅋ that's just because you're short

김여주

Ugh… so annoying!

(The female protagonist is upset and walks away without saying anything)

전원우

Huh..? Hey, sorry.. Don't be upset..

김여주

I don't know.

전원우

(Ah.. this is 100% wrong..)

전원우

(What should I do..)

(They went to school without saying anything to each other)

(For reference, Wonwoo is rumored to be handsome in the neighborhood)

주변 학생들

1 Hey, that's him..

주변 학생들

2 Oh, that guy who's rumored to be handsome?

주변 학생들

1 He was really handsome..

주변 학생들

3 Wow… Hey, there’s a handsome guy at 2 o’clock..

주변 학생들

4 Where, where? Wow…

(The students around Wonwoo started to whisper to each other)

김여주

(What..? Why are you mumbling like this..?)

전원우

Hey... Kim Yeo-ju... What class are you in?

(Wonwoo spoke first)

김여주

… Me in class 3… What about you?

전원우

Me too..! Me too, class 3!

(Wonwoo looked cute when he was depressed and then brightened up)

김여주

(Why..? Why did he look cute..?)

김여주

(No, that won't happen..)

전원우

thank god..

김여주

What are you going to do, you're so shy?

전원우

That's why you should be by my side!

(Wonwoo reaches out and tries to high five)

김여주

(High five) Okay, Jammin!

(Looking at the high five hand, Yeoju thought)

김여주

(Are his hands this big..?)

(Yeoju and Wonwoo sat at the very back of the window seat)

(He started muttering to the female lead who was sitting with Wonwoo)

김여주

Hey, but doesn't it seem like you're constantly nagging at us?

전원우

Really? I don't think so...

김여주

I'm really dull, what can I do?

전원우

So what?

(The teacher came into the class)

선생님

Okay, I am OO, the homeroom teacher for class 3 starting today.

선생님

Today, I have class until the 4th period and then I'm going home. You know that.

전원우

Nice~ I should go home and play games.

김여주

Ugh... Stop playing games...

전원우

Hey, you play games with me too!

김여주

Not as much as you!

선생님

Hey, you guys in the back row, be quiet.

전원우

Oh.. I'm sorry..

김여주

sorry…

(I spoke softly, but I got the teacher's attention)

(This led the class to think that Yeo-ju and Won-woo were dating)

(After the teacher left, the children flocked to Wonwoo and Yeoju.)

반 학생들

1 Hey, are you guys dating?

반 학생들

2 Admit it, maybe the rumor has already spread?

김여주

Huh? What are you talking about?

김여주

I'm dating him?

전원우

This question again...

김여주

We're not dating!

전원우

We're not dating!

김여주

And the rumors?

김여주

What rumors

반 학생들

3 They're just dating, no, they're friends

김여주

Of course we're friends!

전원우

So what about me and this slowpoke?

김여주

Hey! I'm the one who's going to say it!

(That's how they ended up fighting each other)

(Only silence flows)

(But something happened that broke the silence)

주변 학생들

Hey! Hey! Watch out there!

(The ball was flying towards Yeoju)

김여주

..? Uh.. Uh..!!

(The heroine closed her eyes)

(But Wonwoo hugged Yeoju and Wonwoo got hit by the ball)

전원우

Oh... it hurts...

김여주

Hey! Hey!! Are you okay?

전원우

Of course! It hurts..

김여주

Really... thank you...

전원우

What are you doing with this~

김여주

(No.. I'm not excited..!)

(She was a heroine who denied reality)

(After that, they made up and started walking while chatting)

김여주

(What the...? Every time Jeon Won-woo gets sick, he wiggles his hands...)

김여주

(grabbing Wonwoo's wrist) Hey! Are you in pain?

전원우

..No~ It doesn't hurt

김여주

Don't hold back, speak up.

전원우

…my back hurts..

김여주

Sigh... Follow me

(He took Wonwoo into Yeoju's house)

김여주

Sit down

전원우

huh..

(It was the female protagonist who brought a first aid kit)

김여주

Hey, take off your clothes

전원우

uh..?///

김여주

Your back hurts! Then you have to do anything!

전원우

uh..

(Wonwoo took off his top and sat down with his back turned)

김여주

Fortunately, there were no injuries.

김여주

I'll paste it for you

(The heroine looked at Wonwoo's body while putting a patch on him)

김여주

(Wait a minute... Is this guy in such good shape?)

김여주

(I feel like I'm suddenly getting embarrassed..//)

(The heroine was looking at Wonwoo's body after putting on all the patches)

전원우

Hey... did you put all the patches on..?

김여주

Uh...uh...! Uh! I put them all on...

(Wonwoo put on his clothes one by one)

전원우

../// thanks..

김여주

Uh..// Now hurry up and go home!

전원우

Okay, I get it. Just go.

(After Wonwoo leaves Yeoju's house)

김여주

..// What the.. Kim Yeo-ju.. Come to your senses!

김여주

Just a friend I've known since I was 5! A friend!

김여주

Ha... no...

(Wonwoo at that time)

전원우

Why were you embarrassed there…?

전원우

suddenly..?

전원우

Ha.. I really don't know..

(For reference, both of them are single since birth)

That's how love began to sprout, denying or ignoring each other's feelings.
