Since you entered high school, you and Song Kang had never managed to get along.

You couldn't remember exactly how it had all started. Some said it was because of an argument during a school activity; others insisted that you simply disliked each other from the first day.

The only certainty was that, from then on, every time they met, they ended up arguing.

"You again?" he would say every time he saw you.

—Believe me, I'm not happy to see you either.

And so the years had passed.

But there was something strange.

Even though Song Kang made fun of you, he always showed up when you needed help. If someone was bothering you, he was always nearby. If you forgot something in class, he somehow ended up leaving it on your desk.

He never admitted it.

"Don't get confused," he said. "It just bothers me to see you doing everything wrong."

Until one day something different happened.

After class, you were looking for some papers you had lost when you found one folded inside your locker.

It was a note.

“You left this in the living room. —SK”

You immediately recognized the letter.

When you looked up, Song Kang was on the other side of the hallway.

—Was it you?

—What about me?

You showed him the note.

He shrugged.

-I guess.

—And why did you help me?

Song Kang let out a small laugh.

—Don't get too excited. I was bored.

-Clear...

You walked past him, but before you walked away you heard:

-Hey.

You turned around.

For a few seconds, it seemed as if he wanted to say something important.

But he simply put his hands in his pockets.

—Don't be late tomorrow.

-Because?

—Because we have to work together.

You opened your eyes.

-THAT?

He smiled for the first time.

—The teacher paired us up.

And that's where the real problem began.

Because after years of being enemies, they would now have to spend practically every day together.

And neither of them was prepared to discover that perhaps hating each other was much easier when they didn't really have to get to know each other.
