To everyone else, Lee Kwang-soo is a nice, hardworking and talented fellow who raised to popularity through the popular show Running Man. Many see him as the lanky man who does stupid things to make people laugh. They see him and laugh because that’s who he is to them. He is the lovable “village idiot” that made everyone laugh, and everyone loved him for being the silly yet adorable giraffe. 

But for her, he was more than that.

He was someone who would drop everything to rush to her aid. He was the only one who she could talk to about her fear of being alone. He was the silent pillar of strength when she started her own business. He opened his arms when her family closed theirs. 

Lee Kwang-soo is her best friend. She can’t be in love with him.

Diya Singh was an enigma to everyone. With black straight hair and black eyes that seemed to stare into your soul, she was a mystery that everyone wanted to solve. An Indian girl living in South Korea all alone might have made others see her as weak since she has no one, but her sharp words and cold eyes made everyone be wary of her. Many don’t think her as intimidating with her average height and blank face, but there is something about the way she carried herself that made others turn away from her.

But to him, she was more than that.

She was someone who could make him laugh when no one could. She was someone who could tell his fears, his insecurities and never be afraid of being laughed at. She was someone who he could geek out about nerdy stuff and never be judged. She was his silent support as his career went through the roof.

Diya Singh is his best friend. He can’t be in love with her.
