“Bae Seonho, I guess you felt hurt because I didn’t contact you first?”
“….Why are you bullshitting again?”
“A fucking cute bastard.”
Lee Wookchan is a delinquent, Bae Seonho is a model student.
The two people with completely opposite personalities and dispositions are childhood friends who’ve shared poverty.
Bae Seonho has long harbored a one-sided love for Lee Wookchan, who is savage and violent but quite soft on him alone. But he can’t express his feelings.
Because they’re friends. Because it’s a peaceful, ordinary, safe well. He wanted to be eroded away in that place forever.
“Bae Seonho, you choose.”
“…”
“I can’t be friends with a gay bastard.”
Seventeen, until the childish heart overflows.

“Did you do it with that bastard too?”
I must have been dripping with tears and snot. Yet, not understanding why, I raised my head. Lee Wookchan’s face was worse than I’d thought. If I had to express it in color, it was ash gray, exactly that.
Lee Wookchan’s face held disgust and contempt. Ah. I let go of the rope I was holding.
Lee Wookchan was an ordinary male. An ordinary male who likes women, loves them, and has never even thought about same-sex attraction or love.
Moreover, someone who throughout his life has always been highlighted by what’s called masculinity—strength, simplicity, and violence—how could he possibly understand me.
“I’m asking if you did it with that bastard too. Usually you run your mouth so well, why is there not a single word today.”
I was embedded in his wide-open pupils. Were Lee Wookchan’s pupils this pitch-black. The tears that had been precariously hanging at the corners of my eyes fell again.
“If it’s a man, does it not matter who?”

Top: Lee Wookchan – “Don’t abandon me just because you made a friend. Because if you do, I’ll go meet that bastard and fuck up his face.”
A delinquent with a physique over 190, good at everything physical. Rough, uses harsh language, and is sometimes violent, but has a raw charm that makes people gather around him first. Even in situations where he could easily wield intimidation and savagery toward others, he tends to act rather leniently toward Seonho.
Bottom: Bae Seonho – “Lee Wookchan. Let’s just live the way we’ve been living.”
Seventeen, smart, full of thoughts, and sparing with words. Together with Lee Wookchan, he endured through a guardian with no means to protect him and a poverty where even the supplementary class fee was hard to pay. Though they’ve been separated into different high schools and he realizes he’s gradually come to like Lee Wookchan, he decides not to deliberately break the ordinary, peaceful relationship of being friends.
Read this when: You want to see an unrequited-love bottom and a hetero top going through a precarious and unstable adolescence.
Quotes:
“Bae Seonho, want me to ruin your life?”
