min Jaee

From a young age, they were inseparable. He, Min Jae, was always up to some silly prank—tying her shoelaces together, hiding her things, making faces in class… and she always ended up falling for it. Literally. Even so, they never really fought. It was the kind of friendship everyone already knew: where one was, the other was too. Years passed, but nothing much changed. They continued making jokes, laughing too loudly, and teasing each other all the time. Until one day, while sitting during break, she decided to ask: Do you like someone? Min Jae didn't think twice.

• No. She narrowed her eyes, suspicious. — Then prove it. He raised an eyebrow. — How? She discreetly pointed to one of the prettiest girls in school who was walking by. Ask her out. If she accepts… I'll give you what you've been asking for. His eyes widened. It was something he had wanted for a long time, and she never even let him get close.
• Serious?
• Serious. Confident, Min Jae went up to the girl. He tried to act naturally, spoke to her… but a few seconds later, he turned back. Alone. She didn't even wait for him to arrive properly before she started laughing. And it wasn't just a little laugh... she was really laughing, loudly, and couldn't stop. "Rejected!" she managed to say through her laughter. Min Jae crossed his arms, clearly annoyed. Stop laughing! But the more he talked, the more she laughed. Without thinking much, he took a step forward, cupped her face by the cheeks, squeezing lightly… and, just to silence that laughter— He kissed her. It was quick. Simple. But enough. She remained completely silent. No laughing. Without speaking. Just looking at him, I was surprised.
