Story Description
We Are Rivals, Though
We call it friendship.
Everyone else disagrees.
Fighting was familiar.
They greeted each other with insults,
yet left after eating together.
Friends for 13 years.
Rivals for 13 years.
Their friends always said it.
"Aren't you two dating?"
Every time, they cursed in unison.
Hae-deun "Are you insane?"
User "With her?"
It was always a joke they laughed off.
At least until that night,
when their friends mistook them for being about to kiss.
One photo.
One group chat.
And an explanation nobody believed.
Their ordinary relationship
began moving in the most troublesome direction.
"Kang Hae-deun?"
"Yeah."
"A lunatic."
"..."
"A handsome lunatic, though."

the person each fought most,
and the person each searched for first,
was still the other.

the only ones who believed they were just friends
were the two of them.
Friends for 13 years.

And,
