Lee Sanghoon / How I met my best friend / Wed 11am

  I met my best friend when I just entered high school. Our school had a kind of membership training before even an entrance ceremony. It was designed to let freshmen have a foggy idea on high school life in advance. We stayed 3 days in a training center, and there was a lot of time vacant as the schedule itself wasn't that tight. We didn't know each other, of course. But there was a ball, and a court, so we played basketball whenever it was available. I saw my best friend there for the first time. He was just one out of ten, players. He wore a cap, and his movement was rough, enough to associate a robot. His first impression was not that good. I didn't think he and I would make best friends as he looked too cool-headed. It's kind of ironical that we became intimate in earnest playing basketball about 6 months later, on one Sunday afternoon. We had hardly talked to each other since the very first meeting until then. Bored in a dorm room, he suggested me who was almost only one left in the dorm during the weekend to play basketball with him, and that made us the best friend. We wouldn't even know each other well without the day. And it's interesting that meeting him for the first time and being best friends both involve basketball. He doesn't still know I don't really enjoy basketball.
