"Yes." Soojin said, his voice steady, showing that he didn't agree on impulse. "I am."
Ji woo blinked. "But why? You just transferred to our school, you could sit this one out."
Soojin couldn't help but feel irritated and annoyed. "Because I want to win," he blurted, sharper than he intended. He looked at Ji woo, making sure their eyes were interlocked. "It's not hard to understand."
Ji woo opened his mouth, about to say something. But Soojin's cold eyes wouldn't let him. After gathering some courage, Ji woo said, "It's not that I don't believe in you or don't want you to participate, but Miyoung is really good and passionate about things." He paused. "And… you are my friend, and he's my best friend. I don't want it to be awkward."
Soojin raised a brow at the word "friend." The word echoed in his head and mind. When did he agree to the "friend" tag?
