Peach Heart
Synopsis~
Joo Eun-je, thirteen years old.
Her quiet daily life was interrupted by the arrival of Yoon Kang-heon, her second sister’s friend.
“Who pushes someone from behind while they’re tying their shoelaces? Seriously, such an uncivilized punk!”
“Your words are getting harsher, huh?”
“You should just grow up to be a gangster!”
Anyone could see they were different, yet he kept calling her by mistake, claiming he thought she was his friend.
As if teasing wasn’t enough, he would suddenly appear out of nowhere, meddling in her business and getting in her way.
But strangely, as the years went by, even though he was still as annoying and teasing as ever,there came a time when she felt oddly ticklish inside, unable to comfortably meet his gaze.
“Eun-je, when you cry, your lips stick out like this. You look like a duck, a duck.”
“What duck? I’m not a duck.”
“You’re cute.”
“Why are you calling me cute? It’s not like you’re trying to flirt with me.”
Was this feeling just a fleeting tickle, like peach fuzz brushing past, or was it like a ripe peach she couldn’t resist eating, even though she knew it would make her lips swell?
“Well, if you don’t want to look cute, you could just stop crying from now on.”
Joo Eun-je, sixteen years old.
Yes, that’s when it began.
The moment she thought it might be possible that she liked Kang-heon.
