Valentines ~ Sae-byeok

Sae-byeok's pov-

I was nervous, I mean who wouldn't be on a date? I had asked Ji-Yeong to be my Valentine and she said yes! I was taking her to a nice restaurant for dinner then maybe some ice cream, we had planned to meet at 7:30 and it was now 7:25 but I'm sure she would be here soon. I was awkwardly sitting at the table alone constantly having to ask waiters for 'more time' whilst I hopelessly waited for my date. 

7:50- they still weren't here, I had texted and called them multiple times but no answer. I was starting to lose hope, I was stupid for asking a popular girl out for Valentine's. 8:00  Is it the way I look? or my status at school? Was I not enough? 8:10- I pick up my phone again and start looking through Instagram to see Ji-Yeong had posted all over her story... she was at a party. I stood up out of my chair and quickly rushed out the door, tears pooling in my eyes as I ran as fast as I could down the street and back to my house.

I struggle to unlock the door as my vision was obstructed by the unshed tears, I hated this feeling. I was about to drop down to the ground in defeat but a bright car light pulled up into my driveway blinding me as I stared right at it, the car turns off and the car door slammed shut. 

Light tapping of shoes ran over to me and pulled me into a tight hug "I saw her story, are you ok?" It was Y/n but how did she know I was going to be at home and not with Ji-Yeong or something? "I drove to the party and couldn't find you so then I went to the restaurant you told me you would be at but you weren't there either" She reads my mind.

She starts pulling me towards her car but I really don't feel like going back out, all I wanted to do was curl up in bed and cry while watching a movie. She forces me in and starts driving somewhere without saying anything. "Where are we going?" I ask her, my voice breaking slightly "I'm not letting you be sad on valentines day, fuck Ji-Yeong I'm taking you out instead" She smirks at me bringing a small smile to my face.

She stops at a lake and I follow her over to an empty patch of grass and take a seat next to her, staring at the peaceful water ahead. The wind pushed the water ever so slightly and the faint sound of water against rocks, the air was cold but not freezing and the grass was soft and strangely comfortable.

"You don't need Ji-Yeong, I never liked her anyway" Y/n tried to lighten the mood but I still felt like shit, Y/n takes a deep breath and then continues with her talk "Can I be honest with you?" I nod my head and give her my full attention "I was jealous when you asked Ji-Yeong to be your date but I was more jealous when she actually said yes. I knew she would hurt you and I didn't want to watch that, She never truly loved you Sae and you're too good for her anyway" She smiles at me.

She was jealous? but why?

"Still, why though. Is it how I dress or how I act maybe?" I question "No she's just a bitch. Sae-byeok I love you not for how you look but for who you are and if Ji-Yeong can't see that then there is something wrong with her" Her hands cupped my face as she stared deeply into my eyes. "Thanks, y- wait... You love me?" When realising what she said my face goes a bright red and my eyes widen, my best friend just said she loved me "I-ahhh" Y/n began to panic "Ice cream! I say we get ice cream" She quickly stands up and tries to walk away but I pull her back so that we are face to face again.

"You said you were jealous and you love me... is this you confessing your feelings to me?" I tease "Are you- you know what- i- ... fuck you" She stumbles over words and tries to walk away again but I hold her by her shoulders so there is no escaping "Y/n be serious, do you love me?" I sternly ask "You're my best friend, of course, I love you" She tries to get out of the situation "No, not love me I mean do you Love me," I ask.

she doesn't answer and instead just stares at me, butterflies were racing through my stomach, how on all days is this where the night put me? Standing by the lake with my best friend confessing her feelings for me, I would be lying if I said I didn't notice her beauty the day we met, the way she always made sure I was ok, and she does everything with me.

But what if it ruins everything, what if it doesn't work out? "Y/n?" I question, she doesn't look at me anymore, she seems nervous. "Its ok if you do, I just-" "Yes ok fuck I love you and I have for too long and it's so hard to watch you, chase girl, after girl knowing how I feel about you, knowing that because I'm your best friend I would never be anything more because it could ruin everything and guess what it probably just did ruin fucking everything" She rushes out in a panic, now she was the one with tears in her eyes, and it was my turn to help and make things better.

I don't say anything and instead wrap my arms around her shoulders, bringing her into a tight hug. I feel her arms wrap around my waist as she holds onto me tight "I'm sorry" She mumbles. I pull away from the hug and hold her face in my hands as I look down at her "Please don't apologise, for anything, Y/n you are the most amazing person I know and nothing is going to be ruined just because you told me about some feelings" I tell her, her expression doesn't change. 

"Look, why don't I take us somewhere, not as friends but as a date? Maybe if things feel right then it's meant to be you know and if it doesn't then that's ok, I won't let anything ruin our friendship, not in a million years" She smiles at me. We both are left there silently staring at each other, the light breeze brushing by again.

Fuck it

I pull her into a kiss, it's not long but fuck it does feel right, though I'm not certain about my feeling for her I know that there have always defiantly been a part of me that has second-guessed my feelings before we even became friends. We both pull away from the kiss with childish smiles on our faces, she once again wraps her arms around my waist.

We both spend a while just standing there, hugging, we don't say a word, we don't need to.

This was defiantly a better valentines day than I thought I was going to be.
