Yeosang loved Y/N. Of course, he did. But he didn't think she felt the same way. But as he sat there listening to you say the words he wanted to hear. "It's always been you." No matter how much he wanted to hear those, his expression remained unchanged. His eyes fixated on the setting horizon.
The wind rustled his hair as he took a deep breath, a thoughtful pause hanging in the air. How did he get here? Yeosang wasn't supposed to be here. It was never supposed to be him, sitting here with you. He wasn't the main lead, so why were you confessing to him? He wasn't supposed to be here.
You both knew this. So, why were you still here waiting to hear his answer? Yeosang wasn't supposed to be here, so why was he? He remembered. Yeosang blinked, watching the smile on your lips as you smiled at the guy you were talking to.
Some part of him wanted to be the reason for that smile on your face. He wanted to be the guy who made you happy. but the other part of him knew that would never be a reality, he wasn't going to be the right choice.
You weren't for him. His hand tightened against the railing. It didn't matter how much he loved you or how much time he spent with you. He would never be the one to make your heart race. Yeosang would always be the second lead. The character everyone seems to not care about. Yeosang wouldn't be the one you liked. You weren't for him. So why couldn't he let it go?
He couldn't help but watch the way your eyes lit up, and how the corners of your mouth curled itself, into a smile as you spoke to the person in front of you. That guy wasn't him. His heart squeezed painfully. If this were a book, the author would have given him a happy ending, but not him.
The second lead's job was to support the protagonist and be the second of interest, who the main character would never love. That's all he was, and that's all he ever would be. A character no one cared about in a grand scheme of things. No one cared about the second male lead, especially not the main character. He would never be the main lead.
It didn't matter If his heart was beating out of his chest or his thoughts were consumed by you, he just wasn't the one for you. He would never be. Yeosang would never be the first choice. He will never be the one to make you look that happy, not with a smile like that. It was better for him not to try, to get his hopes up only for them to be crushed later. His thoughts consumed as he hadn't noticed you walking up to him until you stood in front of him.
He glanced at you, His expression silent, his face giving away nothing. He noticed that you look happy, the smile apparent on your face. "Guess who has a date? He said yes." You grinned at him as he felt his heart shatter. You had asked him. Some part of him you wouldn't. But you did. Yeosang smiled tightly, ignoring the pain in his chest.
