Naeun's POV

I couldn't recognize my long lost childhood friend, Hyun Dowoon. He is my very first friend, and we've gotten pretty close as time passed by.

But we lost contact due to him moving to Japan. And after 10 years, we finally get to see each other again!

I was beyond excited to see him right in front of my eyes, looking even better than before.

Dowoon has always been handsome and attractive, but he is much more manly now, and not the same kid that keeps on whinning everytime he lost to me.

"Hyun Dowoon??"

The said guy smirked, crossing his muscular arms against his firm chest. "Took you ages to recognize my handsome face,"

"Handsome face my foot,"

"Yah! I am handsome, okay??", he argued, as I laughed at him who never loved losing in any kind of argument.

"Whatever you say,"

He then shifted his gaze at Jungkook, as he smiled mischievously at me, poking my arm teasingly.

"Bringing home your boyfriend, huh?"

"What—no, he's not my boyfriend! He's just a good friend of mine," I denied, looking up to Jungkook for a second.

"Dowoon-ah, this is Jungkook. Jungkook, this is Dowoon.", I said to them both, as Dowoon lent his right hand for a handshake.

Jungkook gladly accepted, smiling brightly at him, "Jeon Jungkook,"

"Hyun Dowoon,"

"Dude, how long are you going to make us stand out here? It's fucking freezing cold out here," I said to Dowoon.

"You still curses a lot," he chuckled, stepping aside to make way for us to get in.

"Where's my grandmother?", I asked him, as he pointed at the backyard.

While I was making my way towards my sweetest grandmother, I noticed a cat running towards my direction, as I lifted it up from the ground.

"Geureum-ah! Oh my god, I miss you so much!", I exclaimed happily, as I ruffled its fur.

"Dowoon-ah, who's at the door?", my grandmother yelled from the backyard, followed by his slow-paced footsteps heading to us both.

"Aigoo, my precious little girl is here!", she beamed excitedly, as she ran slowly towards me, instantly attacking me with a very tight hug.

"Grandmother, I miss you!", I exclaimed as we both pulled away, smiling happily at each other.

"Aigoo, look at how much prettier you've gotten! You've grown up into such a beautiful girl," she said, stroking my hair gently, before cupping my face.

"Grandmother, I brought someone with me.", I said, gesturing Jungkook to come over.

My grandmother looked up to him, as she gently cupped his face too, smiling sweetly at him.

"Aigoo, what a handsome young man.", she complimented as Jungkook chuckled shyly. My grandmother released his face, as she smiled at him.

"What's your name, young man?", she asked.

"Jeon Jungkook,"

She nodded eagerly, as she looked at me, "Who is this young man, Eun-ah? Is he your boyfriend—"

"N-no! He's just a friend,"

Dowoon suddenly joined in the conversation. "Well of course he isn't her boyfriend, I bet she can't even attract a little kid with that face.", he said as my eyes went wide at his words.
