2014 I can’t pinpoint when we first saw each other, I only know he saw me first. I definitely stuck out for all the wrong reasons! We first developed a connection when I started a study group in order to better prepare for the daily gruel that would be our academy. What first began as a large group of people dwindled quickly into just Kwon and I. We knew we couldn’t do it without the other. We even thought that the reason we must have felt such a deep connection to each other was that we needed each other to survive! As things winded down, we came to realize that we wanted to be together for more than a study session... for more than late night Hot-Cheetos and Hot Cocoa... for ALL the time. Neither of us ever saw it coming. By most accounts we are complete opposites! Yet somehow we work. My strengths are his weaknesses and my weaknesses are his strengths. We couldn’t bare the thought of not having one another... I’d liken us to two puzzle pieces that look completely different but fit together perfectly. I’ve watched him learn to live with this instant-noodle family and together we’ve become a force that betters each other’s lives everyday, even if only with being in each other’s presence.
