☾⛧ My Sassy Neighbor ⛧☽

#1: What is Eunsang's afternoon plan?

4:45 PM.

The golden rays of the sun shining on Eunsang as he walks back home is making him feel more melancholic than he already is. He just can't take his mind off from the sudden change in their field trip. Additionally, he just remembered that he has some medicine books to pick up. Having no energy to smile, let alone speak, he stops in his tracks and sighs heavily. Ping! As if on cue, he receives a message from his favorite neighbor.

#2: Knock knock, neighbor!

#3: Dongpyo is too cool for school.

A wide smile from a tiny boy welcomes Eunsang when he arrives at the bookstore just around the corner of their house. "You're home already?" Eunsang asks. "I didn't go to school," the other boy proudly says. "Why?" "I just don't want to." "You're okay with missing school for a whole day with no reason?" "Hey, Eunsang. I'm Son Dongpyo." "What a confidence." "Anyways, here are the books."

#4: A game of tug of war

Upon seeing the medical books, Eunsang's face stiffens, and the quick-witted Dongpyo catches it. It takes Eunsang exactly five seconds before he relaxes his facial expression and puts out his hands to receive the books, Dongpyo notes. "Thanks-" He gets cut off when Dongpyo doesn't let go of the books. Dongpyo uses all the sassiness in him to give a long look at Eunsang.

"Do you really want these books?" Dongpyo asks but the latter ignores it by avoiding any eye contact. Soon enough it has sparked a game of tug of war between the two. The more Dongpyo pulls, the harder Eunsang also pulls back. Sensing that Dongpyo will never back off, Eunsang surrenders and suddenly lets go. To both of their surprise, Dongpyo falls hard on the ground as his loud groan echoed through the bookstore.

"I'm so sorry! Are you okay?" Eunsang guiltily helps Dongpyo back to his feet. The short one groans in pain while holding his swollen butt. "Do I look okay to you!?" Eunsang feels even more guilty as he sees his friend in pain. "I'm really sorry! I didn't realize you'll fall that hard..." Eunsang apologizes repeatedly. Dongpyo may be in pain and is lowkey annoyed at what happened but it doesn't distract him. He looks at his worried friend with a hidden agenda.

#5: I will forgive you IF!

Still acting in pain, he says, "Okay. I will accept your apology." Eunsang brightens up but before he can rejoice, Dongpyo suddenly continues, "IF!" Eunsang looks at him strangely as Dongpyo placed his hand on his shoulder. "If?" he nervously asks. "I will forgive you if you will be honest with me about your real dream." Eunsang freezes, like a child caught in the act.

#6: Flash! 🏃‍♂️💨

"What are you talking about?" Eunsang nervously tries to act clueless. On the other hand, Dongpyo knows his friend very well and can easily see through his act. "You know what I am talking about." Eunsang lets out a long sigh. "Okay." Dongpyo loosens up and smiles in triumph. "So what is-" Like a quick flash, Eunsang grabs the books and runs out of the store. And just like that, Dongpyo is left there trying to process what has just happened.
