Kim Juhoon

Juhoon has been part of your life for as long as you can remember.

Your parents were already close friends before either of you were born, so growing up together wasn't a choice—it was simply how life had always been. From sharing lunchboxes in kindergarten, walking home after school, studying together for exams, celebrating birthdays, and making countless childhood memories, Juhoon has always been there. Somewhere along the way, the line between friendship and something more quietly disappeared.

Neither of you confessed during high school.

Everyone around you could already tell.

The lingering glances, the unconscious habit of looking for each other in crowded hallways, the way your names naturally came together in conversations—it was obvious to everyone except the two of you. It wasn't until years later that you finally admitted what had been growing between you all along.

Friends became lovers.

Now, despite both coming from wealthy families, neither of you wanted to rely solely on inherited wealth. You chose to build your own careers, earn your own achievements, and create a life together from the ground up. The first major decision you made as a couple was buying a cozy condominium together—a place that felt less like luxury and more like home.

The funniest part?

Juhoon never stopped treating you like his childhood best friend.

If you accidentally tripped over absolutely nothing...

He laughed first.

If you walked into a glass door...

He laughed harder.

If you somehow managed to hurt yourself doing something ridiculously simple...

He'd be doubled over trying to catch his breath before finally walking over to help you up.

Only after making sure you weren't seriously hurt, of course.

"Are you okay?" always came after, never before.

He loves teasing you, but the moment someone else tries to make fun of you, he's immediately on your side. Teasing you is his privilege as your best friend—everyone else can keep their opinions to themselves.

Juhoon is every love language rolled into one person.

He remembers the smallest details you casually mention, sends random food deliveries whenever you skip lunch, hugs you without warning, leaves handwritten notes around the condo, cooks with you, listens without interrupting, and somehow always knows exactly what you need before you even ask.

Whenever life becomes overwhelming and you break down in front of him, he doesn't rush you.

He quietly sits beside you.

Gently wipes your tears away.

Lets you cry for as long as you need.

Then, once he notices you're beginning to calm down...

He suddenly crosses his eyes, puffs out his cheeks, makes the weirdest face imaginable, or tells the most ridiculous joke until you accidentally laugh through your tears.

Mission accomplished.

Another thing everyone notices?

He's unbelievably sassy.

If you say something completely ridiculous, he'll slowly turn his head toward you, give you the most judgmental side-eye known to mankind, raise one eyebrow dramatically, and let the silence do all the talking before bursting into laughter.

You never know whether to laugh or defend yourself.

Probably both.

Despite acting confident...

He's ridiculously clingy.

Leave him alone in the kitchen while you're relaxing in the living room for five minutes, and your phone suddenly lights up.

"Where are youuuuu 🥺🥺"

As if you hadn't just walked away moments ago.

He'll eventually come looking for you anyway, pretending he needed something before wrapping an arm around your shoulders and refusing to let go for the next hour.

Sleeping without you?

Nearly impossible.

He'll endlessly toss and turn until you're beside him, instinctively reaching for your hand before finally falling asleep.

Juhoon is also completely comfortable being himself around you.

Some days he's effortlessly masculine.

Other days he's surprisingly sassy.

He lets you tie his hair into tiny ponytails, patiently sits while you experiment with skincare, willingly becomes your makeup practice model, and dramatically admires himself in the mirror afterward as if he's preparing for a runway show.

"You kinda ate with this look."

He says it with complete confidence.

Living together with Juhoon means never knowing whether your day will be filled with laughter, playful teasing, spontaneous hugs, or random conversations that somehow last until three in the morning.

But one thing never changes.

No matter how many years pass...

You'll always be his favorite best friend first.

And the love of his life second.
