Louis

I've known Emma for as long as I can remember. Our families were very close, so we practically grew up together. That's why I also knew her older brother, Louis.

Even though he was a year older than me, I always teased him by calling him "little one".

"Good morning, little one!" she would say every time she saw him.

—Stop calling me that…

—Why? It looks good on you.

—I'm older than you.

—So? You're still my little one.

He always rolled his eyes, but I could never get him to stop.

Over the years, Louis debuted as an idol in the group LNGSHOT, alongside Ohyul, Ryul, and Woojin. His life changed completely. Between rehearsals, concerts, interviews, and travel, he was almost never home.

But every time he came back, I kept calling him the same thing.

—Little one! You're back!

He sighed.

—Are you ever going to stop calling me that?

-Never.

Emma just laughed when she saw us arguing.

What nobody knew…

The thing was, Louis had never hated that nickname.

In fact, it was one of the few things that reminded him of his childhood.

And I also didn't know that, over the years, he had stopped seeing me just as his sister's best friend.

Every time he heard my voice calling him "little one", his heart beat a little faster.

But he never dared to tell me what he really felt.
