What makes you happy the most these days?
I got a new friend.
How do you feel when you are with that new friend?
I just feel comfortable. We just became friends. And it's not like we spent a lot of time together. But he is the most comfortable friend I have right now. I don't have to try so hard in front of him. I don't have to be someone I'm not. And I am happy when I'm with him.
“I’m still a little scared of the ocean. Why? When I was in elementary school, I was a boy scout. But one day, Joon Pyo forced me to join the Sea Cadets. But the kids from other schools hazed me in the ocean. With you was my first time back to the ocean after that. Boy Scout, Girl Scout, youth association, and Sea Cadet. Everyone has trauma from those places.”
“I don’t have to try so hard in front of him. I don’t have to be someone I’m not. And ... I’m happy when I’m with him.”

🎵 And when I was younger
I knew a boy and a boy
Best friends with each other
But always wished they were more
'Cause they loved one another
But never discovered
'Cause they were too afraid of what they'd say
Moved to different states
Oh, and I'm afraid that's just the way the world works
It ain't funny, it ain't pretty, it ain't sweet
Oh, and I'm afraid that's just the way the world works
But I think that it could work for you and me
Just wait and see
It's not the end of the story 🎶
