Top 10 kdrama friendships that had me bawling

#10 - alchemy of souls : mu deok/bo yeon + the boys

the only reason this doesnt get a higher rating is because they just didnt have enough scenes together. it was always pretty secondhanded, like the boys helping her with her servant exam in s1, or scenes between seo yul and mu deok/bo yeon. however, their friendship was amazing, and just adore this show in itself.

#9 - doom at your service : tak dong kyung, na ji na and cha joo ik

okay, they weren't a trio, necessarily, but they had such a great friendship through indirect interaction. joo ik and dong kyung had such a wholesome excited little sister and passive older brother relationship. and dont even get me started on the cuteness that was the friendship between na ji na and tak dong kyung.

#8 - strong girl do bong soon : do bong soon and gyeong shim

i wrote about this in my review of strong girl dbs as well, and the friendship between gyeong shim and dbs was so cool because both women were willing to go to such lengths for each other. one of the lesser-highlighted friendships of kdramas.

#7 - crash course in romance : nam haeng son and kim young joo

it takes a lot to sacrifice your national sports for your friend, and young joo made that sacrifice like a pro. their friendship was so cute, a bit annoying at times, but cute nonetheless. they were there for each through the goods and the bads, and that's all we really ask for.

#6 - lovestruck in the city : lee eun oh, suh rin i and kang geon

why! are! they! not! talked! about! ultimate peak best friendship, no romantic subplots to this gang, absolute delights. everyone should give lovestruck in the city a try.

#5 - twenty five twenty one : the gang

how could i say friendship and not have these people. this gang singlehandedly and platonically had enemies to besties, childhood besties, sunbae besties and just everything. right in the feels.

#4 - weightlifting fairy kim bok joo : the trio + the boys

the 'swag' trio. every time they did the swag thing it made me cringe so bad but they were very cute. the rooftop scene was legit so cute and the addition of the boys was even better. nothing beats these weightlifting girls and we stan.

#3 - extraordinary attorney woo : woo young woo and choi su yeon

this was sosososososo cute. the way su yeon was literally always there for young woo. she couldve easily been a villain, young woo took the guy she had a crush on, was higher in grades and well known. had an influential background. such telltale signs of bad women in kdramas. BUT this amazing person really was so good with young woo and totally spring sunshine su yeon.

#2 - the fabulous - the gang

everyone seems to hate the fabulous. genuinely, come at me. i dont give a shit about cinematic art or marketing strategies or whatever, this is my opinion gonna stick to it. i ADORED the fabulous. their gang was so amazing, the definition of supportive, cute and somehow maintaining that joke around stuff. they had their little pairs in the middle as well, but that didnt take away the overall love. go watch it.

#1 - hospital playlist - the band

im a recent to hosplay bandwagon, but. i fell in love. finished the (almost) entire show in nearly a week, an achievement considering it's my finals rn. we've got the piggies, buddha who is catholic, the guy who knows everybody and his dad. it was the little things with them for me, really. when they called jeong won andrea like that was so cute. when jun wan called seok hyeong ik jun's dad it made me laugh so much. and the fact that they're really not that close when u think about it but they still are? like that is adult friendships and we love.

🦑🕊️ (Possibly) I'm like, 2 years late with this, and have no idea how active the fandom for this still is, but i'm looking to write something from Netflix's Squid Game with somebody! I watched it again the other day, and now have a massive itch to write Kang Sae-byeok [Player 067] against someone's Jang Deok-su [Player 101]/ the guy with the Snake tattoo. Since we know they have a past together, i feel like it'd be really fun to explore their dynamic a bit in the time before Kang Sae-byeok went independent, and then maybe time-skip to the events of the games. (with some slight tweaks and changes, of course.) I'm 100% fine with NSFW and Smut, but i do ask that any likes and limits in that regard are discussed ahead of time. I will not be going in blind, and do expect open and clear communication from you, as i will be doing the same. I'm 21 currently, turning 22 soon, and have been role-playing for a few years now. I write mostly Multi-Para, but can match reply length if you prefer that. I'll reach out via Tumblr DMs and we can plan and go from there!

give a like and anon will get back to you

3 Ways N.Flying’s Lee Seung Hyub Is Making Viewers Swoon In “Sh**ting Stars”

N.Flying’s Lee Seung Hyub is stealing hearts with his role in tvN’s “Sh**ting Stars”!

“Sh**ting Stars” is a romantic comedy about the people who work behind the scenes in the entertainment industry cleaning up the messes created by the stars. The drama depicts the realistic story of people who stand behind the celebrities and shed blood, sweat, and tears to make them shine like stars in the sky.

Lee Seung Hyub stars in the drama as Kang Si Deok, a restaurant owner who is scouted and begins a new life as the actor Kang Yoo Sung with the help of his manager. Below are three ways he has been captivating viewers through his role!

Spoilers

1. His polite demeanor

Along with his endearing satoori (regional dialect), one of Kang Si Deok’s greatest charms is his polite and modest attitude. When he was scouted by his soon-to-be manager, Kang Si Deok displayed his modesty as he told her that she could find plenty more people just like him just by stepping outside. In addition, he also gained favor with the PR team staff and elders on the street for his bright greetings and considerate attitude. Lee Seung Hyub further enhanced his character’s charm by using satoori and mixing it with his kind eyes.

2. His dedication to his dream

When Kang Si Deok decided to become an actor, his fervor and hard-working attitude were quickly noticed. While preparing for his debut, he practiced his script endlessly in order to get each scene perfect. Lee Seung Hyub transformed flawlessly into a character who exhibits limitless progress and passion, earning him plenty of praise and support.

3. A face you can’t take your eyes off of

Kang Si Deok won everyone over at first sight, from the restaurant customers to his manager. In addition, the scene where he took off his shirt while thinking he was in his own house also showed he had a body to match his face, and one most fitting for a star. Lee Seung Hyub proved that he not only perfectly embodied the personality of his role, but his physical appearance as well.

To see more of Lee Seung Hyub, tune in to “Sh**ting Stars,” which airs every Friday and Saturday at 10:40 p.m. KST.

‘Moving’ Episode 20: Han Hyo Joo, Ryu Seung Ryong, Zo In Sung’s Characters Find Their Happy Ending

The Disney+ original series ‘Moving’ has come to an end with its 20th episode, delivering a satisfying conclusion for the characters and the viewers. The superhero action drama, based on the webtoon by Kang Full, starred Han Hyo Joo, Ryu Seung Ryong, Zo In Sung, Cha Tae Hyun, and other talented actors as people with hidden superpowers who fight against dark forces.

‘Moving’ Episode 20: The Final Battle

(Photo : Disney+) The finale episode began with a tense showdown between Lee Mi Hyun (Han Hyo Joo) and Jung Joon Hwa (Yang Dong Geun), a North Korean soldier who also has the ability to fly. Mi Hyun was in danger of being killed by Joon Hwa, but her son Kim Bong Seok (Lee Jung Ha) came to her rescue and fought against him. However, Mi Hyun wanted Bong Seok to run away, knowing that the North Korean troop leader Kim Deok Yoon (Park Hee Soon) was aiming a gun at him. Fortunately, Bong Seok was saved by Jeon Gye Do (Cha Tae Hyun), who used his electromagnetic power to kill Joon Hwa. Deok Yoon then tried to escape with the files that contained the secrets of the superpowered people, but he was chased by Jang Joo Won (Ryu Seung Ryong) and Lee Jae Man (Kim Sung Kyun) to the rooftop.

(Photo : Disney+ Korea) Joo Won and Jae Man confronted Deok Yoon, who revealed that he had been working for Frank (Ryoo Seung Bum), a mysterious man who wanted to use the superpowers for his own agenda. Deok Yoon also confessed that he was the one who killed Jae Man’s father 50 years ago, when he was part of a secret mission to capture the superpowered people. Deok Yoon then tried to jump off the building with the files, but he was stopped by Joo Won, who grabbed his arm. Jae Man then shot Deok Yoon in the chest, causing him to fall. Joo Won managed to hold on to the files and pulled himself up.

The Aftermath

(Photo : Disney+ Korea) A year later, the superpowered people were living normal lives without being hunted by anyone. Jang Hee Soo (Go Youn Jung) and Lee Kang Hoon (Kim Do Hoon) graduated from high school with their parents’ attendance, except for Bong Seok and Mi Hyun, who had gone into hiding since the incident. Joo Won continued his chicken business with Kwon Young Deuk (Park Gwang Jae), a former North Korean soldier who became his assistant. Hee Soo entered the university’s physical education department and became friends with Shin Hye Won (Shim Dal Gi), a girl who had super speed. Kang Hoon visited Mr. Min (Moon Sung Geun), the head of the NIS, and expressed his desire to join the agency with one condition: to clear his father’s name from criminal records. Mr. Min agreed and revealed that Kang Hoon’s father was actually a hero who sacrificed himself to protect the superpowered people from Frank.

(Photo : Disney+ Korea) Kang Hoon also met the school guard and his classmate who disguised themselves as part of Jeonwon High School, but in reality they were high-ranking NIS officials who had been monitoring the superpowered people. Bong Seok and Mi Hyun left town and lived a peaceful life in a rural area. They occasionally received letters from Hee Soo and Kang Hoon, who updated them on their lives. Hee Soo also told them about a superhero wearing a yellow cape who appeared in Seoul and saved people from danger. In the last scene, it was revealed that the superhero was Kim Doo Shik (Zo In Sung), Bong Seok’s father and Mi Hyun’s husband, who had been held captive by Frank for 50 years. He managed to escape with the help of Park Il Chan (Jo Bok Rae), a North Korean soldier who sympathized with him. Doo Shik returned to South Korea and killed Frank, who had been hiding as an American businessman named Mark (Daniel C Kennedy). He then reunited with his family and hugged them tightly.

The Reviews

(Photo : Disney+ Korea) The final episode of ‘Moving’ received positive reviews from both critics and viewers, who praised the cast’s performances, the director’s skills, and the writer’s creativity. The series also achieved high ratings on Disney+, becoming one of the most-watched original shows on the platform. Some of the comments from netizens are: “I’m so happy that they all got their happy endings. Especially Doo Shik, he deserved it after suffering for so long.” “This was such a great series. The action scenes were amazing, the story was engaging, and the characters were lovable. I’m going to miss them so much.” “Han Hyo Joo, Ryu Seung Ryong, and Zo In Sung are such legends. They nailed their roles and made me feel all kinds of emotions. I hope they work together again in the future.” “Moving was one of the best adaptations I’ve ever seen. It stayed true to the webtoon but also added some twists and surprises. Kang Full is a genius and Park In Je is a master.” “I’m so glad that I watched this show. It was a roller coaster ride of action, drama, comedy, and romance. It had everything I wanted and more. Thank you to the cast and crew for this masterpiece.” What do you think of the final episode of ‘Moving’? Did you enjoy the series? Share your thoughts and leave a comment below.

Throwback Thursday: (26092017) Kang Deoksoon's Love History Script Reading

"'Kang Deoksoon's Love History' is the sixth installment of the highly talked-about KBS drama series 'Drama Special.' It tells the coming-of-age story of Kang Deoksoon, a countryside girl from Chungcheong Province in 1926, who goes to Seoul to find her crush, Kim Seoksam, and the events that unfold by chance.

In August, at the script reading session held at the KBS Annex, the drama's main cast, including PD Hwang Seungki, writer Baek Soyeon, and actors like IOI's Kim Sohye, Kim Yejin, Oh Seungyoon, Shim Youngeun, Park Gyuyoung, and Park Seoyeon, gathered together.

PD Hwang Seungki mentioned, "It may seem like a light-hearted story, but in fact, the script carries a lot of meaning. Each character is precious, and I'm grateful that the actors, who have a fantastic synchronization, willingly participated in this reading."

The script reading scene on that day was filled with a lively and energetic atmosphere, as refreshing as the combination of the young and talented actors. Each actor showcased their unique charisma while delivering the distinctive gentle acting tone of Chungcheong Province, elevating the atmosphere of the drama.

...

The performances of the "mother and daughters" of the "Mother-Daughter Tavern" that Deok-soon encounters in the drama also shone brightly. Kim Yejin (Nam Heesoon) portrayed the calm but charismatic leader of the tavern with stability in her acting. The three sisters of the tavern, played by Shim Youngeun, Park Gyuyoung, and Park Seoyeon, showcased chemistry with Deoksoon, ranging from a girl crush charm to the bickering of real sisters.

Even after the script reading ended, the production team and actors didn't easily leave their seats. They continued to discuss scenes that involved the historical context and checked details of dialogues, displaying their "affection" for each other. The drama is set to air on KBS 2TV on October 5th at 10:00 PM, coinciding with the Chuseok holiday."

Lee Sun-gyun proposes a deal to Park Hoon

Lee Seon-gyun of ‘Fighting Law’ proposed a deal to Park Hoon.

On the afternoon of the 27th, in the SBS Friday-Saturday drama 'Bobjeon', Lee Sun-gyun, who proposed a deal to Moon Chae-won and Park Hoon, who acted as lawyers, was broadcast.

On this day, in 1998, Eun-yong (Lee Seon-gyun) was lost in thought when he heard that Kim Seong-tae (Lee Geon-myeong), who had heard the source of the operation of Chairman Myeong (Kim Hong-pa), was taking back money.

As he put down the cake box with money next to the person Chairman Myung instructed, he overheard the conversation between Chairman Myung and the man. Ji-Hee Eun (Jung-Yeon Seo) was furious when Eun-Yong borrowed her house as collateral because she needed a lot of money for stocks.

Eun Ji-hee, who said that she had seen several people who took stock in a bar, said, “How do you think about touching this house. I'm a low-born person, so it doesn't matter if I live anywhere, but our Taechun (Kang Yoo-seok) shouldn't be raised like that,” she said anxiously.

Eun-yong was the first bet he had to win, and I heard from Kim Seong-tae (Lee Geon-myung) that the stock price had plummeted. Lee Jin-ho (Won Hyeon-joon) was furious, calling Chairman Myeong a dog breed and tricking Eun-yong, who was driving next to him.

At this time, Eun-yong showed a bundle of money in the bag and smiled at Lee Jin-ho, saying, “Your shit, you bastard.” Eun-yong, who had taken Lee Jin-ho and his older sister's money and put it into stocks, got goosebumps at the sight of Chairman Myeong talking about real information while eating.

Soon, Eun-yong made money by selling the target price he had in mind before Chairman Myung did.

To Eun-yong, who was released from solitary confinement, the prison guard said, “How will you have a refreshing cup of iced coffee mix with me later at night? Even so, only you would have to suffer.”

Meanwhile, Jang Tae-choon watched Chairman Myung's car disappear after drinking, and found Lee Soo-dong (Kwon Hyuk) angry about when the assistant manager would arrive, so he volunteered to drive.

Lee Soo-dong, who was talking on the phone in the car, was furious at the sound of Lee Jin-ho asking for medicine and told him to give it to Jang Tae-chun while driving while listening to the conversation.

Arriving at the dark building, Jang Tae-chun secretly took a picture when Lee Soo-dong disappeared. Jang Tae-chun, who met Nam Sang-il (Choi Deok-moon) and showed him the picture, said that he must be a gambling house, so he asked for information.

Characters: Cho Sang-Woo, Seong Gi-Hun, Ali Abdul, Kang Sae-Byeok, Ji-Yeong, Hwang Jun-ho, Jang Deok-su, Han Min-yeo, Seong Gi-Hun's mother, Cho Sang-Woo's mother

Note: I cross-posted this from AO3 so if you're more comfortable reading there, you can go ahead and do that, this is also a multi-chapter fic. 3/5 chapters are uploaded

The leaves of the trees extending to the third-floor windows of the school have started to change color. The breeze has gotten colder as it passes through Sang-Woo and Gi-Hun entering the front gates.

“Sang-Woo, fall is starting soon!” Gi-Hun exclaims, staring up joyfully at the faded hint of yellow on the leaves.

“Yeah. It is, isn’t it? Hyung.”

Sang-woo replies in a bit of an exhausted tone, causing Gi-Hun to turn his head at him.

Sang-Woo’s forehead had beads of sweat despite the colder temperature. His eyes were droopy if a bit tired. Sang-Woo’s actions are never normally this lethargic no matter how early it is in the morning.

“Hey, Sang-Woo? Are you okay? You don’t look too well.”

The other boy just pulled a slight smile and a nod. “Mhm.”

He’s not convinced. There’s definitely something wrong. Could he be sick? It seems like it.

Gi-Hun simultaneously put both his hands up, placing one on his forehead and the other on Sang-Woo’s. He felt an immense difference in heat. Sang-Woo had a fever.

He swiftly puts his hand back down and with a concerned tone blurts out “You’re burning up! Why did you come to school today?! Let’s go, I’ll take you back home!”

Gi-Hun grabbed his hand and tried to walk the other way to exit the school, but Sang-Woo didn’t move from his spot, making Gi-Hun stop in his tracks two steps in as he looked back at Sang-Woo.

“No, hyung. You’ll be late for your classes. I can handle myself. Don’t worry.” the ill boy expressed smiling. But Gi-hun’s worry just grew even deeper. He would typically speak in a louder tone but it seems that he doesn’t even have the energy to do so right now.

“But-”

“Really, it’s alright.” Sang-Woo insists.

Gi-Hun let go, hesitantly. “But, you have to tell me when you start feeling sick, alright?!”

“I will.”

くコ:彡くコ:彡くコ:彡

Gi-Hun repeatedly taps his pen on his notebook in concern. He’s sweating profusely but not as much as the boy sitting next to him.

Beside Gi-Hun sits Sang-Woo, trying to concentrate on the board while his head slightly rocks back and forth and his eyes slowly blinks.

He fans himself with his notebook to try and cool himself down. His layered uniform isn't helping with the heat.

The teacher continues on with the lecture as Gi-Hun starts heating up himself. His heart is beating too fast from the concern and restlessness. He can't take seeing Sang-Woo in this much discomfort. What if it's something serious? What if it's some sort of disease that needs to be treated early or else it could be fatal? What if Sang-Woo is so sick that he can't concentrate on the class so he fails school and he becomes a failure in life and Gi-Hun is at fault for not persuading him enough to go home?

There's no way he could let that happen to his lover. He can't make him go home now but the nurse's office is still there. He could convince him to go there. The earlier, the better!

"Psst, Sang-Woo!" Gi-Hun whispers. "I think you should really go to the nurse's offi-"

"No!" Sang-Woo interrupts, loud enough for the whole room to hear.

The whole class quiets down as the teacher looks at the two. "What the hell is going on over there?! Stop chatting and focus on the lesson!"

The pair looked down at their desk as a few giggles from their classmates echoed in the classroom.

Gi-Hun's grip on his pen gets tighter while his simmering anxiety starts to boil.

How is he supposed to concentrate when his boyfriend is suffering right next to him? His head spins and he wonders if Sang-Woo's head is also whirling making him feel nauseated.

くコ:彡くコ:彡くコ:彡

"You're not sure if you wanna go on the field trip?" Sang-Woo asks, biting his rolled omelet.

The pair chat sitting in front of each other at a table that has empty seats except theirs.

“Yeah. I think I’ll just stay at home and rest.” the boy replies, trying to hint at Sang-Woo to go rest himself.

But of course, it doesn’t work. Sang-Woo has always been like this. Always persistent in school and studying. He even prioritizes it over himself. It's second on his priority list just right behind Gi-Hun.

Gi-Hun has never been really sure why but it has never crossed his mind to question it either. For him, it's just the way Sang-Woo is and he never thought of it as something unusual.

Even before they started dating, Sang-Woo had been trying his best on tests and recitations. He would give his best effort on projects and sometimes help Gi-Hun with his too. He would even tutor him sometimes for exams, though it has always been ineffective with the highest score Gi-Hun has gotten being a 79.

One time, they went for a stroll together while eating street foods for a little date. But halfway through, Sang-Woo took out his bag and started doing his homework.

Gi-Hun, a little annoyed, grabbed his notebook and raised it up. As if Sang-Woo wasn’t taller and more agile than him and could easily take it back.

Sang-Woo reached for the pad but Gi-Hun leaned back causing the taller boy to push Gi-Hun and make both of them trip and fall.

The notebook slipped right out of Gi-Hun’s hand and went straight into the nearby uncovered septic tank.

All of Sang-Woo’s notes that he needed for studying and his activities were all ruined. Not to mention all the trouble they had to go through to try and get the notebook out of the tank.

Sang-Woo gave him the silent treatment for 2 weeks after that while Gi-Hun just kept apologizing and giving him small gifts to try and make up for it.

“But don’t you think going on the field trip would be more fun than just laying in bed all day?” Sang-Woo asks. “Besides, I would be all alone there if you don’t come.”

“No, you wouldn’t! You can have Ali be your partner instead of m--”

Sang-Woo was about to take another bite when he stopped and grimaced.

Gi-Hun immediately gets up and goes to the other side of the table to check on Sang-Woo. “Are you okay?!” he asks, loud enough for them to be the center of attention in the whole cafeteria. “This won’t work! We really need to get you to the infirmary right now!”

“I told you, I don’t want to--” Before he could finish his sentence, his vision gets blurry as he loses all strength and falls to the ground, dropping his chopsticks and half-eaten gyeran mari with him.

Gi-Hun’s eyes widened in horror seeing his lover on the ground, unconscious. The whole student body in the cafeteria also stares at Sang-Woo with surprised murmuring.

He immediately kneels down and turns Sang-Woo’s body, gently slapping his face to try and wake him up. “Sang-Woo! Sang-Woo!” Gi-Hun cries out.

But no luck. He’s completely passed out.

Without hesitating, Gi-Hun picks up the sick boy bridal style and begins running to the door.

The whole crowd watches as he sprints, panic visible on his face.

He would normally never have been able to carry Sang-Woo and run this easily. But his physical strength is no match for his concern and love for Sang-Woo.

The boy ran like he had never ran before, being a bit more careful on the stairs trying not to drop Sang-Woo.

Once he finally reaches the infirmary, he puts down Sang-Woo while still supporting him with one arm and opens the door.

“Help! This boy fainted and--” he stops. There was no one there.

He notices a paper on the door. It was a note that said: THE NURSE IS ON LUNCH BREAK. SHE WILL BE BACK AT 1:00 PM

...Shit.

Gi-Hun sighs in annoyance but quickly picks up Sang-Woo with both hands again and heads inside.

The room had a pleasant and warm atmosphere and was as big as a classroom. The pastel pink walls with white stripes on the top and bottom held a large window peeking out on the outside campus. The floor was a melon color glossy enough to make it look slippery. There were three beds with pulled-back curtains in between.

Gi-Hun heads to the bed closest to the window and lays Sang-Woo down.

“Damn it.” he mumbles, looking down at Sang-Woo’s body lying motionless, pale and still showered with sweat.

“Hyung?” he hears.

He immediately kneels down. “Sang-Woo?!”

No response.

“Hyung.” he hears again.

That wasn’t Sang-Woo’s voice!

He looks up and sees—Ali.

Ali is a foreign exchange student. He’s been close friends with the couple since he got here. But especially Sang-Woo. Sometimes he gets bullied for being Pakistani but Gi-Hun and Sang-Woo always come to the rescue.

“What happened to Sang-Woo, hyung?!” Ali gets closer, worried. “I heard about what happened in the cafeteria. Is he okay?!”

“I don’t know! He’s had a fever since this morning!” Gi-Hun takes a small towel out of his pocket. “Hey, Ali, can you soak this towel in the bathroom? I’m gonna put it on Sang-Woo’s forehead.”

“Yes, hyung!” Ali takes the towel from Gi-Hun and he runs off to do his task.

Gi-Hun centers his gaze back at Sang-Woo, bearing a fretful expression.

He decides to look out the window for a bit, realizing there’s not much he could do. The number of students outside the campus decreases as the clock strikes closer to one P.M. The vendor outside the gates makes him remember the moment they officially became lovers. It was just a month after the new school year started and class had just ended. They were walking out the gates together like they usually would when Sang-Woo looked at the food cart and the old lady they were buying dalgona candies from ever since they were still a kid playing squid games in the neighborhood playground. “You want one?” Sang-Woo offers.

“Hm? Oh, no, I’m not really craving sweet things right now.”

Sang-Woo gulps. “Let’s have a competition.”

“Honeycombs? Why?”

“If you win, you can give me any order and I will follow it. If I win, I get to ask you a question.”

“Well, why don’t you just ask me the question now? I don’t think you need to go through all this trouble to ask me—” Gi-Hun stops when he sees how anxious and restless Sang-Woo is. He can’t stop sweating, he’s fidgeting, it’s like you can almost hear his heartbeat too. Is he trying to pull a prank? No. Sang-Woo isn’t the type of person to do that. “Alright.” It’s a strange request and he doesn’t know what he’s up to but it’s probably better to just let him before he has a heart attack.

The two approached the lady and bought two. Sang-Woo chose a heart shape and Gi-Hun got an umbrella. He doesn’t really want to make Sang-Woo do anything. He’d rather just hear the question.

A few minutes pass when Gi-Hun hears a crack beside him. He turns his head to see Sang-Woo with a distraught expression holding a can of the heart-shaped dalgona candy, cracked right in the middle.

“Shit.” He hears Sang-Woo mutter which catches him a bit off-guard as Sang-Woo rarely curses.

The heartbroken boy looks up to Gi-Hun with visible disappointment on his face. He looks like he’s about to cry. “Well, hyung, you win. What do you want me to do?” He forces a smile.

Gi-Hun eases his arched back. “Well, my order is…” he cocks his head. “...for you to tell me what your question is.”

Sang-Woo’s eyes widened. His lips purse as he contemplates.

“Well? What is it?”

The boy hesitates. “Can I be your boyfriend?”

“Gi-Hun.” He snaps back to reality.

Gi-Hun turns around to see—Ali, holding a wet towel in his hand, and beside him, the nurse.

“Hyung.” Ali walks towards Gi-Hun. “I ran into her while heading back here so I thought to bring her along.”

The nurse approaches the trio. “You two should head back to your classes now. Look at what time it is.” She points at the clock. 12:56 P.M. “You’re gonna be late for your afternoon classes. I’ll take care of him, don’t worry.”

Gi-Hun gave the unconscious body a pensive look before exiting the room, Ali’s comforting arms around his shoulder.

くコ:彡くコ:彡くコ:彡

Gi-Hun taps his feet at small but rapid heights. His eyes fixated on the wall clock above the teacher’s head. The teacher’s words go in one ear and out the other. There are only two minutes left before school ends at four. Why hasn’t he gone back yet? Has he still not woken up? It’s been 3 hours already though! Did something bad happen? Maybe he was going back to the classroom but then he fainted again and is laying in some hallway passed out.

His train of thoughts are interrupted by the loud bell that can be heard throughout the whole school. “Alright, class. Class dismissed.” the teacher announced.

Gi-Hun takes his backpack and bolts out the door, completely ignoring his classmates yelling at him that he’s one of the cleaners today.

He sprints through the hallway dodging other students in the way like he was playing some video game in real life, almost slipping in the very staircase that he tried so hard not to trip in earlier.

Meanwhile, Sang-Woo opens his eyes to the white concrete ceiling of the infirmary. He gets up slightly disoriented, holding his head. The pain and discomfort from before have weakened. He looks out the window to an orange-tinted campus, with an increasing number of students rushing out. What time was it? He looks at the clock on the wall. 3:58 P.M.

“Awake now?” a voice asks from beside him. He turns his head to see the nurse with a cup of water.

“Who…”—he looks around the room— “How did I get here ma’am?”

“Your friend brought you here. The one with the puppy dog eyes.”

“Gi-Hun.”

“Yes! Him! That was the name your other friend mentioned.”

“My other friend?”

“The foreign exchange student. I think his name is Ali.”

“I see.” Sang-Woo looks down, trying to hide his smile.

“He’s a good friend, you know.” The nurse pulls back the curtains. “I heard he carried you here bridal style and ran as fast as he could. I think he was even willing to miss his afternoon classes to take care of you if he needed to.” She offers him the cup of water.

Sang-Woo accepts, contemplating if he should tell her. “Oh… he’s actually my boyfriend.”

She pauses.

“Even better!” she exclaims. “Don’t let him go, okay? He’s gonna make a fine life partner.”

“Yeah, I think so too.” he agrees, hints of pink appearing on his cheekbones.

“Well, school’s almost over. Drink that and go home once you’re ready.”

Sang-Woo nods and chugs the cup while the nurse walks back to her desk.

He sits in thought for a short moment before getting up to leave.

He was gonna open the door when it opened for him. On the other side was Gi-Hun, his worried expression quickly getting replaced with relief once he sees Sang-Woo.

“Hyung.” was the only word Sang-Woo could get out before Gi-Hun hugs him, so hard almost knocking him to the ground.

“Oh, thank God.” he could hear Gi-Hun say through his exhausted breaths. “Are you okay?”

Sang-Woo puts his arms on Gi-Hun’s back. “Hyung, I’m alright.” he pulls away from the hug and steps out of the room. He turns around to close the door to see the nurse, staring at them with a sweet smile on her face. This warms Sang-Woo’s heart a bit as the door slides shut completely.

He walks over to the window, Gi-Hun following behind him. “Thank you. Hyung,” he says with a soft tone and a warm smile.

Gi-Hun smiles, though his eyebrows are curved down. “Sang-Woo, can I ask you something?”

“Anything.”

Gi-Hun steps closer. “Why… do you work so hard with school? I mean, if you’re willing to sacrifice your health for it, surely you must have a good reason.”

Sang-Woo looks at the tangerine sky above him. “Do you remember that time in middle school when we were talking about what we wanted our future spouses to be like?” Gi-Hun doesn’t respond. This seems like a rhetorical question. “I told you I just wanted someone who had bright eyes and a bright smile who cared much for their loved ones. I even said I wanted someone who didn’t drink regular milk! I didn’t know how dense you were to not figure that one out.” he laughs.

Gi-Hun chuckles with him. Looking back at it, Sang-Woo did leave a few hints about his feelings for him, but somehow, Gi-Hun missed them all.

Sang-Woo continues “And then you told me what type of person you wanted to marry. You said you wanted someone who got into a prestigious university and has a job that makes good money. You said you wanted someone smart and hardworking.” Sang-Woo puts his head down as Gi-Hun raises his, realizing the situation. “So… I decided to become that person. I needed good grades if I wanted to go to a reputable university so I had to study hard. So I can become the type of person you want to live your life with.”

A pang of guilt strikes Gi-Hun. Who knew that a statement he made passively as a 13-year-old would affect someone’s life this much? Who knew that Sang-Woo’s feelings were strong enough for him to go to such measure? Because of that one conversation, Sang-Woo probably forced himself to work harder. Just to please Gi-Hun.

He moves closer to the reminiscing boy. “Sang-Woo… I’m so sorr-”

“No, don’t apologize! I didn’t tell you that to guilt-trip you or anything! I actually am pretty grateful for it. Without that, I wouldn’t be as hardworking as I am now. My mom is also much happier with me getting high grades. And… I love that you’re the motivation for all of this.” he fidgets with his fingers before he feels Gi-Hun’s hand on top of his.

Their ears blush with the cold breeze bringing in a vibrant orange leaf on top of their interlocked limbs. Fall has started.
