" Best Friends"

Chapter 4

“ I just kissed my best friend…”

—-

The end. This was the end for Jungwon. He thought his best friend was going to kiss him so he closed the gap between them first but then realized Riki wasn’t going in for a kiss and out of embarrassment Jungwon kicked him out. Jungwon doesn’t need space to think anymore, he does have feelings for his best friend. He was still at the door but on the ground and his back facing the door.

Jungwon chuckled, this reminded him of a story he and Riki read about childhood friends fated to be together. Fated… Fate… Unmyeong! Jungwon totally forgot to contact Unmyeong. Jungwon looked through his clothes until he found his phone in his back pocket. He was going to call Unmyeong but his phone was dead, so he went to his room to charge it and got ready for bed.

The next morning he woke up and got ready for the day. After doing his morning routine he went and got his phone; not surprised to see many notifications from Unmyeong he decided to call her.

Ring.. Ring… Ring

[Unmyeong] Hello ?

[Jungwon] I’m sorry did I wake up?

[Unmyeong] it's 7 in the morning Jungwon. You know i'm asleep at this time

[Jungwon] I know beautiful but I need to talk to you. Do you think you can meet me at the cafe near your house?

[Unmyeong] … yeah sure give me 30 minutes

[Jungwon] okay i'll see you then

Jungwon had a feeling Unmyeong knew what he wanted to talk about but he needed to do this he couldn’t play with her feelings.  After 30 minutes Jungwon started walking towards the cafe. As the cafe came into view he started getting nervous. He stood there looking for Unmyeong until he spotted her at a table near the window. She was as beautiful as ever and if he didn’t like his best friend he would still be going after her.

Maybe he doesn’t like Riki, maybe he's just confusing his feelings. Maybe he's just making himself think he likes his best friend but why would he do that? Why would he convince himself that he has fallen for him? Why? Jungwon sighed, “It's now or never.”

He walked towards the table and sat in front of Unmyeong. She gave him one of her smiles that he is a sucker for. “So what did you want to talk about sunflower?” she asked with those eyes you could just get lost in. Jungwon had almost forgotten why he was there for a moment. “I- I “ Jungwon suddenly couldn’t say what he wanted to say.

“ Is something wrong sunflower?” Unmyeong asked as she took his hand and held it, ‘ she's holding it like Riki’ Jungwon thought. Jungwon not knowing what to do took her hand and looked her in the eyes” Unmyeong would you like to be my girlfriend?’’ both Surprised by the question he just asked, Unmyeong broke into a smile so big and said “ I would love to be your girlfriend sunflower” getting out of his grip and going up to kiss him.

Jungwon could’t do anything but kiss her back and he didn’t enjoy it but he also didn’t hate it. Unmyeong pulled away, ending the kiss but she still had that big smile on her face. “ I know we are supposed to share a big moment right now that we are officially together but I am so happy I have to tell my friends” grabbing her stuff , kissed jungwon once more and before she got out the cafe she said “ I'll call you later my sunflower”

Jungwon could not believe what just happened. He came here to ask for space, not for a girlfriend. He walked out of the cafe speechless. Not only did he ask her to be his girlfriend he still doesn’t know what to do with Riki. Walking back home took longer than usual because he was fighting himself along the way.

Jungwon arrived at his building and when he entered he saw the receptionist smiling at him. ‘ Weird,' he thought as he waited for the elevator.  The elevator ride felt longer than usual which made him upset because all he wanted to do was crawl into bed and never come out. He finally made it to his floor and as he walked to his apartment he saw someone standing at his door. As he got closer he saw the person was holding a small bouquet of flowers.

‘ What in the world?’ Jungwon was confused as to why someone was at his door with flowers. The person’s face was covered but as Jungwon got closer he saw who it was.

“R-Riki? “
