A few days later, Yeoju and Taehyung met again at the playground.
“Huh? It’s Taehyung! Hello, Taehyung!”
“Ah..yeah, hello.”
“Well, first I need to become close with you..”
“..sigh) Why? lol”
“I need to know your secret..!”
“Oh, right.”
“I brought you ice cream and cookies. Do you want some?”
“Yeah..”
Sweets and ice cream were precious to Taehyung. No, actually, he'd never tried them. Curious about what they tasted like, Taehyung tried the sweets and ice cream Yeoju had brought.
“..It’s delicious”
"Right? It's delicious! This ice cream is my mom's homemade ice cream."
“I envy you”
"..why?"
“Oh... no.”
“..I’ll be your friend!”
“..? Weren’t we friends?”
“Huh..? Huh..! Oh, that’s right!”
“I’ll tell you my secret.”
"really?"
“Yeah. I’ll tell you specifically lol”
“Wow! You’re the best!”
“..First of all, I am poor.”
“…”
“Mom and Dad fight every day.”
“…”
“I cried alone in a really small room every night.”
“..I don’t even eat properly every day. Actually, I’ve only heard about the snacks and ice cream you brought, but this is my first time trying them.”
“You.. you really..”
“..? Why are you crying..!”
“I… I didn’t even know that… I kept bragging to you… I’m sorry… sob… sigh…”
“It’s okay. In fact, I feel at ease when I see happy faces.”
“I’ll be your friend for life..! Do you want to live at my house?”
“Hmm... that wouldn’t work..”
“Is that so..?”
“Then I’ll ask Mom!”
"okay!"

“..Mom said, ‘What are you talking about? Just be friendly with me.’”
“Then let’s play at my house often!”
"Okay. Thank you."
“Hehehe no! Haha”
“I think I should go home now. Let’s meet again tomorrow at the same time we met today!”
"okay!"
Yeoju and Taehyung were close friends until middle school, when Taehyung's father passed away and his mother left home, leaving him with a single letter. Taehyung was forced to work part-time, and when Yeoju found out, he lived at Yeoju's house until Taehyung found a place to live on his own. Taehyung says he couldn't help but fall for Yeoju.
