"Do you think he likes me?" I looked at my best friend, my eyes filled with unshed tears. "He does, right? I-I saw him looking at me during mathematics, and it wasn't like how we usually look at each other; it was different. I felt it and-and that kiss...."
Her best friend's eyes showed sympathy, and she knew, looking at him, how big of a fool she had been. Falling in love with one of your best friends? She should've known it wouldn't be a fairytale. Well, what exactly had she expected? That they would fall in love and get married someday? Fool.
Just thinking about it made warm tears slide down her cheeks as she cried her heart out in the arms of her other best friend. Jimin, Skyler, and Tae had been friends since childhood. She first met Jimin through her parents; her mother and Jimin's were best friends, and naturally, they thought it would be cool to have their kids become one as well. And it worked; they did everything together until Tae came.
Jimin and Skyler were playing in the playground when Taehyung stumbled and fell on the sand castle both Jimin and Skyler were working on, and instead of crying or throwing tantrums, Skyler belly laughed till she fell backwards when she saw Taehyung's mouth filled with sand.
Taehyung couldn't help but giggle, showing his teeth all muddy, and that made Skyler roll on the ground with laughter.
"I'm Skyler, but you can call me Sky." She introduced herself to the boy, who was still giggling.
"I'm Taehyung." He shook hands with Skyler and looked at Jimin expectantly, who didn't share the same enthusiasm as Skyler for the intrusion of his playtime. Instead, he scowled. That was the nickname he had given her.
Skyler bumped her shoulder against Jimin's, but he still wouldn't budge, so she stepped up and said, "Don't mind him; he'll warm up soon. He's Jimin, my best friend in the whole wide world." Seeing Skyler's smile directed at Jimin, he let out a toothless one as well.
"Do you like cars?" That made Jimin perk up.
And that's how the trio formed. Best of friends, she thought, until they weren't.
Skyler hiccupped, wiping her tears to bring up the alcohol bottle to drown her sorrows. Over the years, they had been inseparable. Skyler doesn't know when it happened; maybe it was when she turned 14, maybe it was when Tae kissed her cheek to console her after her favourite popstar got married, or was it at 15 when he hugged her on her birthday? She couldn't tell.
What she could tell was that she had started liking Tae, and what had started as a crush had formed into something deeper with each passing moment. Tae, as she called him, was the sweetest; he was attentive and loved showing her care when she didn't know she needed it.
She knew he was in a relationship that had hit 6 months and maintained her one-sided crush and was okay with being just friends with him, till she noticed him looking at her during classes or when the three of them would hang out and how he would brush his fingers against her, but she couldn't get ahead of herself, not when she knew they were just friends....and there was that whole "girlfriend" situation, but then on Friday night, after a party they went to, they were too tired after dancing for hours. Jimin was nowhere to be seen, so they sat down on the porch, catching their breath.
