"i like you" i said to my friend. she look at me like i was saying a joke.
it was, for her
"what!?" she laughed
i bit the inside of my cheek and look down. the more she laughs the more my heart shatters into pieces.
"wait? are you really serious?" she asked my while wiping her tears from laughing so hard at my confession
'it is'
i shook my head and smiled at her
"haha no, i was just joking." i said to her while preventing my voice from cracking
"haha that was a good one!" she chuckled and hit my arm.
Irene and I have been friends since highschool and i liked her ever since. she was the prettiest girl i've ever seen. many thought she is a cold person, arrogant, but she has the softest heart, she cares so much to everyone around her. I thought at first she wouldn't be friend with me because of her reputation as the ice queen but as soon as i approached her we clicked. we became friends, Best friends. At first i don't feel anything towards her but the more i got to know her the more my feelings grow. i know loving her is gonna be hard especially for the likes of her, her standards doesn't fit me AT ALL. but i thought i'll take a risk and told her and live free from my thoughts of what if's.
I thought i was ready when she reject me, i never thought it would be this painful. so painful i want to shout at her, and cry in front of her. But i can't, i like her so much that i can smile and tell her i was joking when i said i like her than tell her the truth and lose her forever.
"ya kang seulgi!" i snapped out of my thought and looked at her annoyed face
"hm?" i hummed in response
"you're spacing out again" she said in her baby voice which she does everytime i don't pay attention to her
"aigoo" i scoot next to her
"sorry i was thinking of something." her eyebrow rose and look at me"what we're you thinking?" her annoyed expression turned curious and cute.
i couldn't help but to smile
"you" i said confidently
"me? why we're you thinking about me when i'm just here with you?" i bit my lip but i couldn't contain my smile.
which made her more confused"what?" she asked again in her slightly annoyed tone but smiling
"i was just thinking about how you became my girlfriend" i said and a smile formed into her lips and i saw how her cheeks turned red.
yes, she laughed at me the first time i told her i like her and i thought she didn't feel the same way. because after i told her that even though i told her i was joking, our relationship became distant. We remained friends, but there's an invisible wall that refrain us from being like before.
we graduate and go to the same school, we took the same course too. we never talked about what i said since then, not until someone asked me to be her date on our school prom and she barged inside my room like she was possesed and told me to decline the invitation. Which i already did, but i didn't told her. I was so confused on her sudden behavior so i asked her why and after asking her many times and with a little help from alcohol thought was water, and contiued drinking because she doesn't want me to know that she hid alcohol at our fridge. i got my answer.
"Because i love you since 2010 Kang Seulgi. And i don't want you dating anyone else besides me."
