You gave me so many firsts

Epilogue

Yuan and Beomgyu were childhood friends, thanks to the fact that their mothers had been friends since elementary school,friends since birth.

Whenever Beomgyu saw Yuan crying, he was the first to run over and comfort him,

and whenever Yuan smiled brightly, he would look at him and smile along.

When Beomgyu comforted him, Yuan would cling to him as if he had never been crying in the first place,

always smiling at Beomgyu as brightly and clearly as sunlight.

They lived in the floors above and below each other in the same apartment building,

visiting each other's homes and practically living together.

In the mornings, Beomgyu always went to Yuan's place first thing after waking up.

“Yuan, wake up.”

“Mm… five more minutes.”

“You already said that earlier.”

“Then ten minutes…”

“Hey, Kang Yuan!”

Even so, Beomgyu would sit on the edge of the bed and wait until Yuan opened his eyes.

In the end, when Yuan would get up rubbing his sleepy eyes, Beomgyu would call him good and muss Yuan's hair.

When they were in elementary school, they walked to school side by side, and from middle school on, they always took the same bus.

Yuan would sit in the seat next to Beomgyu when he got on the bus,

and before the bus even pulled away, he would fall asleep with his head resting on Beomgyu's shoulder.

Beomgyu never woke him up.

The slightly heavier shoulder and the small hand clutching the hem of his clothes in sleep were both familiar.

He would simply shift his seat so Yuan would be comfortable,

and block Yuan's head with his hand so it wouldn't hit the window when the bus stopped.

Beomgyu always teased Yuan.

When Yuan got sulky, he teased him even more, and when Yuan got angry, he would laugh and run away.

Then, when Yuan really got mad and stopped calling his name,

only then would he frantically chase after him.

“Kang Yuan, hey. I was wrong.”

“…….”

“Ah, seriously. I won't tease you anymore. Okay?”

“…….”

“Yuaaaan…”

In the end, when Yuan burst out laughing, Beomgyu laughed too.

Beomgyu always lost to Yuan.

One word from Yuan, one laugh, one clear voice calling his name was enough to bring him down helplessly.

And even now, as high school students, that hadn't changed.

“How long are you two going to keep that up?”

Every time that happened, Beomgyu answered with a smile.

“Yeah, I know. He can't do without me.”

“What are you talking about? You're the one who can't do without me!”

When Yuan bristled, Beomgyu just laughed again.

“Yeah, yeah. I can't do without you.”

The two of them had never even imagined a day without each other, and even imagining it was impossible.

Because they were closest to each other, they didn't realize it.

That the person most familiar to each other

had somehow become the most special person.
