Childhood Friends Romance — Chapter 7

MY FRIEND, WHO'S BEEN BY MY SIDE SINCE WE WERE KIDS.

YOU GUYS GONNA GET LOST OR WHAT?!

RUN~!!

YOU WERE ALWAYS THERE BESIDE ME, PROTECTING ME...

WHOA...

WHEN DID IT START?

THAT KID WHO ALWAYS SEEMED SO MUCH BIGGER AND COOLER THAN ME,

OH, JIHYUK, YOU'RE HERE. LOOK AT DAWON. SHE'S GOTTEN SO PRETTY.

AT SOME POINT, I JUST COULDN'T STOP...

SEEING HER AS A WOMAN.

OF COURSE, IT'S NOT LIKE MY FEELINGS CHANGED OVERNIGHT JUST BECAUSE OF ONE PHOTO...

IT'S HOT...

Take this to Dawon's mom for me.

Right now?

RUNNING AN ERRAND.

...UM, ARE YOU OKAY?

OW...

I'M SORRY, I'M IN A HURRY - I HAVE SOMEWHERE TO BE...

E-EXCUSE ME...

AH!! I'M LATE!!!

I'M REALLY SORRY!!!!

EVER SINCE WE WERE KIDS,

...ALL THE WAY UP UNTIL NOW.

SHE'S SLOWLY FOUND HER WAY INTO MY HEART.

...GU DAWON.

I DON'T THINK THERE'S ANYTHING ELSE I NEED TO TEACH YOU NOW.

You picked it up pretty quickly.

REALLY?

YEAH. YOU ALREADY KNOW EVERYTHING ELSE ANYWAY.

AND YOU'VE GOT THE NEW MENU RECIPES DOWN WELL ENOUGH TOO.

SEONG TAEHYEON, PART-TIMER AT DAWON'S MOTHER'S CAFÉ.

THAT'S A RELIEF.

It's been a while since I last worked part-time at a café...

BY THE WAY, WHY'D YOU SUDDENLY TAKE A LEAVE FROM SCHOOL? THE BOSS SEEMED PRETTY SURPRISED.

IT'S JUST... SOMETHING CAME UP.

HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO TELL TAEHYEON OPPA ABOUT EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENED...?

NOTHING BAD HAPPENED, RIGHT?

UH...

Y-YEAH... WELL...

IT'S ALL BEEN TAKEN CARE OF NOW...

WELCOME-
