Once I had a best friend named Lee Know. I was a high school student in Seoul. I was quite popular amongst my peers for my kind and helpful personality. I had two love interests.
The first one was a very energetic, sunshine extrovert, Lee Felix Yongbok, who was my classmate and deskmate.
The other was my senior and a genius with an angel voice, Kim Seungmin.
I always saw them as my good friends, but I had a feeling that they liked me.
I never really paid much attention because I had a huge crush on this one cat lord human who was also my bestie, Lee Minho. Minho and I had been inseparable since childhood. We shared everything, from our dreams and fears to our favorite movies and inside jokes.
There was a comfort in our friendship that I cherished deeply. But somewhere along the line, my feelings for him grew into something more. I was scared to confess my love and ruin our friendship, but one day, I took all my courage to go and confess to him.
That day felt different from the start. I woke up with a sense of purpose and a knot of nerves in my stomach. As I got ready, I kept glancing at my reflection in the mirror, practicing how I would tell him.
"Minho, I have something important to tell you..." I whispered to myself, trying to muster the courage.
I had rehearsed these words countless times in my head, but saying them out loud felt daunting.

As his best friend, I knew his front door password. I had been to his house countless times, sometimes to prank him, sometimes just to hang out and do nothing. Today, I planned to surprise him with a confession of my own.
My heart pounded as I walked to his house, the familiar path feeling unusually long. What if he didn't feel the same way? What if this ruined everything?
I took a deep breath and punched in the familiar code. The door clicked open, and I stepped inside.
"Minho? It's me!" I called out, my voice echoing slightly in the quiet hallway.
I walked towards the living room, my heart racing faster with each step. The sight that greeted me made my heart stop. There, on the sofa, Minho was kissing Han Jisung, the class monitor. Books were scattered on the table, as if they'd been studying, but now, all I could see was them together.
My mind went blank, my body frozen in place. This couldn't be happening. Not Minho. Not my best friend. I felt a sharp pain in my chest, like my heart was breaking into pieces. I stood there, watching them, unable to move or speak. How long had this been going on? How could he not tell me?
"Minho?" I finally managed to say, my voice barely above a whisper.
He looked up, his eyes widening in shock as he saw me standing there.
"It's not what it looks like—" Minho started, but I couldn't bear to hear any more. The words felt hollow, and the sight of them together was too much to handle.
I turned and ran out of the house, my vision blurred by tears. I could hear him calling my name, but his voice seemed distant, drowned out by the pounding of my heart and the sound of the rain that had started to fall. The sky mirrored my emotions, dark and stormy.
As I ran, the rain soaked through my clothes, but I barely noticed. I just kept running, not knowing where to go, until my legs gave out and I crouched on the side of the road, sobbing uncontrollably. The rain mixed with my tears, and I felt utterly alone. The cold droplets fell relentlessly, but I was numb to everything except the pain in my heart.
"How could he do this to me? I thought we were best friends. I thought... maybe just MAYBE he felt the same way. But now, all I could feel was the sting of betrayal and the ache of a broken heart. The memories of our times together flashed through my mind.
Every laugh, every secret shared, every comforting hug—shattered. I felt like a fool for believing there could be something more between us.
The rain continued to pour, and I sat there, lost in my misery. Minutes felt like hours, and I wondered how long I could endure this pain. My clothes clung to my skin, and I started to shiver, but I didn't have the strength to move. I hugged my knees to my chest, trying to make myself as small as possible, hoping the world would just swallow me up.
