It had been a few days, and I couldn't shake the thought of Seoyun from my mind. Every moment we spent together made me fall for her even more. I knew it was risky, but I decided it was time to tell her how I felt. I had to let her know before it was too late.

I planned everything out in my head. I would catch her after school, take her to our favorite spot by the lake, and tell her. It was simple, but it felt right. I could imagine her smile, her surprise, and maybe, just maybe, she'd feel the same way about me.

That afternoon, I saw her in the hallway. She looked happy, chatting with Taehyung and Jungkook. I waited until she was alone, gathering my courage. But just as I was about to approach her, I saw Taehyung pull her aside. My heart sank, but I forced myself to stay calm.

Taehyung - "Seoyun, there's something I need to tell you."

Seoyun - "What is it, Taehyung?"

I watched from a distance, my heart pounding. Taehyung looked nervous, which was unusual for him. He took a deep breath and then, right there in front of everyone, he got down on one knee.

Taehyung - "Seoyun, will you be my girlfriend?"

The world seemed to stop. Seoyun gasped, her hands covering her mouth. And then, to my horror, she smiled and nodded.

Seoyun - "Yes, Taehyung! Yes!"

They hugged, and everyone around them cheered. Everyone except me. I felt like I had been punched in the gut. My vision blurred, and I had to turn away. I couldn't watch anymore.

All my hopes, my dreams, they shattered in that moment. Seoyun had chosen Taehyung, and there was nothing I could do about it. I had loved her quietly, deeply, and now I realized I had lost her without even getting a chance.

As the days went on, I felt myself changing. I couldn't bear to see them together, laughing and holding hands. It was like a constant reminder of what I had lost. But more than that, I started to notice something else. Taehyung was not only taking Seoyun away from me, but he was also taking Jungkook. My two best friends, and now I felt like an outsider.

I began to resent Taehyung. Why did he always have to be the center of attention? Why did everything always come so easily to him? He had Seoyun, he had Jungkook, and I was left with nothing.

I started to distance myself from them. I avoided lunch with the group, skipped out on hangouts. It hurt too much to be around them. The more I thought about it, the more I realized that Taehyung had always been the one to overshadow me. He was always better at sports, more popular, and now he had taken away the one person I loved more than anything.

Every day, my hatred for Taehyung grew. It wasn't fair. He didn't deserve everything. I had been a good friend, I had been there for Seoyun, and now it felt like I was being punished for it.

I knew it wasn't healthy, but I couldn't help it. I hated Taehyung for taking Seoyun from me, for making me feel invisible. And as time went on, that hatred turned into something darker. I started to think about revenge, about making him pay for what he had done to me.

Taehyung didn't know it, but he had created an enemy. An enemy who was once his friend. An enemy who wouldn't rest until he had taken back what was rightfully his. And so, my path was set. I would make Taehyung regret the day he ever crossed me.

Kai - So, Taehyung, do you get it now? Do you see what you've done to me?

Taehyung - Kai, I never knew... I never meant to hurt you. Seoyun and I... it just happened. I didn't realize...

Kai - Didn't realize? How could you not realize? You took everything from me! My friends, the girl I loved... you were too wrapped up in your own perfect world to see it!
