Open Secret

Love or Friendship

Choosing either being in love or just being a friend has always been a constant struggle for Moonbyul.

Well, looking at her own track record with her ex girlfriend. With Minji. It was hard.

She has the habit of bottling up her feelings inside. She could go on like that for a long time before finally confessing and when she confessed, it's like free falling.

Byul had always worn her heart on her sleeve. Everyone knows that. When she loves someone, she will shower the other person with so much loves. Sometimes it would be too much for the other person.

During her previous relationship, she doesn't think that's a problem but Minji does.

"Byul ah...Can you please stop sending me flowers. People are questioning it."

"Wae...I want to show people that I love you. Is it wrong?"

"Just keep the flowers bare minimum for now."

It started with a small fight here and there then it got bigger and bigger and finally.

It ends.

"I keep on telling you to stop. I told you to stop Moon Byul so why didn't you!"

"Why are you so insecure about it to begin with!"

"You see this...?"

Minji point her fingers to the both of them.

"What?"

"We are both Korean. We are living in Korea...So this...This shouldn't even happen to begin with."

Byul grabs Minji's pointing finger and holds it close to her chest.

"Wait, are you...Are you breaking up with me?"

Minji become silent.

"Please...We can talk about this first."

"Stop it! Just...I'm done."

Her girlfriend walks away. Just like that. In seconds, her relationship turn into nothing.

That was when she thinks about why did she even confessed to begin with. They were better off as friends if relationships like them has a shelf life. If it has an expiration date.

After the whole fiasco, Solar... Yong was the one who held her to sleep. She doesn't question anything and hugs her tighter, crying in her arms.

"I broke up Yong."

"Shhhh. Sleep Byul ah. We can talk more tomorrow."

Byul feels safer there. She feels safer in Yong's arms than any other places in the world but if anything, Byul has to remember that they will forever be friends.

They will only be friend.

But Byul is someone who will never has the ability to hide how she feels. She really couldn't help herself.

She falls in love again.

How can she not when Yong looks so beautiful. So soft hearted. So patient with anything she is doing or even when she is being annoying. The older girl is a saint.

Byul decided to just fuck it and show her loves another way instead. She decided to annoy the hell out of the older girl. If she can't show the real love she has been feeling, then she would let it out in another way.

Byul keeps on annoying Yong and the older girl being the tsundere she is would feign being mad for a while before accepting her advancement.

The cycle repeats.
