[Contest] Wait a minute, Sunyoung!
01. Meeting Sun again, is this fate?
I've heard quite a bit since I was little that I'm different from other people, especially from the average girl.
He really liked sports like volleyball and soccer, and had a friendly and straightforward personality.
Above all, I could never tolerate myself or those around me being treated unfairly.
So, whenever the neighborhood ladies gather in groups of three or five to gossip, there is always the same story about me, the same repertoire.
"Oh my, the girl is acting rough like a boy…" "I'm worried my kids might get hurt. They're not calm like girls…"
At the time, and certainly now, I didn't quite understand what was considered feminine behavior, but I didn't think that was important.
Anyway, I'm definitely biologically female.
So I just let it go without a second thought.
Due to his unique personality, his only close friends are Seung-kwan, who is currently on the same volleyball team, and Soon-young, who went to the same kindergarten and elementary school, but moved due to family circumstances.
I met Sunyoung again when I graduated from middle school and entered high school.

“Huh? Are you Kwon Soon-young…? Right?”
권순영
“…Kim Yeo-ju?”
The overflowing happiness almost made him hug her, but he kept that feeling hidden and asked about Sunyoung's well-being.
김여주
"Soo-nyeong! How many years has it really been... How have you been?"
권순영
"Yeah, okay, okay, how have you been? Did you change your hair...?
김여주
"Huh? Oh. As expected, you recognized me right away. Do we match?"
권순영
"Yeah, it suits you well. No, I like it..."
Nothing had changed since then. His slitted eyes, like the hands of a clock pointing to 10:10, were the same.
A hamster-like, plump cheek. And a timid yet very meticulous personality.
I liked you a lot before, and even now, when I see your face, my heart races and my cheeks turn red. That means I like you. And I like you a lot.
김여주
"Hey! Can we meet up for a bit after school?"
권순영
"Yeah yeah!"
김여주
"What, why are you so aggressive?"
권순영
"Tch. Oh, no…"
Sunyoung was so cute when she pretended to be angry and puffed out her cheeks, that I almost poked her cheeks without realizing it.
The reason that still remained within me held me tightly and held me.
As soon as class ended, I ran straight to Sunyoung, who was sitting in the back row.
김여주
"Sun! You have to play with me!"
권순영
"Lady...what if other people misunderstand..."
김여주
"Then it's good for me."
권순영
"Hey, lady...?
I jokingly asked Sunyoung if she was disappointed and if that was all there was to our relationship.
김여주
"But Sun! You've grown so much! You used to be much shorter than me…"
"No! I'm bigger than you! No, just say I'm bigger…"
I'm going crazy. If even an angry hamster becomes cute, my heart won't be able to hold anything.
김여주
“Soonyoung is really so cute…”
권순영
“Oh! No, that’s not it…”
I couldn't help but burst out laughing because I thought it was cute how Soonyoung kept shouting "No" and turned her head away in a hurry.
김여주
"Sun Young!"
권순영
"why…?"
김여주
"You're too skinny. Eat well and go!"
권순영
"okay…"
김여주
“My child, don’t be discouraged…”
권순영
“Yeoju, you’re like my mother…”
I became more certain while talking to Sunyoung.
