-Sinb pov-

I wake up. I realise that I still in my dad's restaurant. My body hurt because I sleep in sitting position. Then, I realise there is a man's jacket around me. Who is this jacket's owner? "Oh, you are awake,sinb. Come on. We need to go home now. Mom probably waits for us."said sinb's dad.

I just nod. "Ah... And sinb,taehyung comes here before to send some souvenirs from jeju" so....this jacket must be belong to him. Why? Why you keep treating me like this? Don't make me fall in love again with you. I sigh and prepare myself to go home.

~flashback~

I have been together with taehyung too long. It's a lie I have never fall in love with him. I have once. I like how he treats me so nicely. But I hide that feelings, because I'm scared if I confess to him, it's gonna destroy our friendship. I keep hiding that feelings so well about 2 years.

Then, when one day taehyung come to me with another girl. "Sinb.. let me introduce to you. This is my girlfriend." said taehyung. My heart hurt. I feel like crying that time but I keep pretending that I am smiling infront of them. "Hi. My name is sowon. Taehyung has tells me about you,sinb. It's so nice to meet his childhood friend." said that girl.

Well, even it hurt, I am still happy he meets a good girl. Not a bad one. Since that day, I keep avoid from taehyung. When he wants to walk to school together with me, I keep making excuse. When he wants to walk me home. I lie to him that I have something to do. So, I will go home late. I feel sorry towards taehyung. He keeps trying to talks to me but I keep avoid him.

"Sinb.. let's go gome"said taehyung while holding my hand. "You go home first, taehyung. I have something to do." I let go of his hand from my hand. Before I can walk ahead, he grabs my arm. "Why I feel like you are avoiding me, sinb. Did I do something wrong to you?"asked taehyung. "No. I'm fine. Just go home with sowon. I need to go now." I walk ahead without turning back.

Just let me be alone, taehyung. Just until this feelings towards you dissapear. I'm sorry. I promise I will go to you when everything is fine. Then, when taehyung stops trying to talk to me, I feel more sad. We both not talking for one month now. And my feelings towards him almost completely dissapear.

When one day, I am walking at the park where taehyung and I always played before when we are kid. Then, I recognize someone from afar that sits on the grass while looking at the pond infront of him.  The place where taehyung and I used to sits at. Wait... Is not that taehyung? What he is doing here? He looks sad. Should I approach him?

I look around and search for an ice cream stall to buy a chocolate ice cream to cheer taehyung up. Well,even I'm not ready to talk to him yet. But, I guess I love our friendship more. I don't care if I will end up being hurt as long as I'm not seeing my own bestfriend suffers. I am now walking towards him while holding an ice cream. I sit beside him without talking a single world. He looks suprise to see me.

"Here" I give that ice cream to taehyung. "Thank you. Why you give me an ice cream?"asked taehyung. "You look down. Are you okay?" He is not aswering my question. We both not talking to each other for a while. Its so awkward. Then..

"I broke up with sowon."said taehyung. "What? Why? That is why you look down?" He shakes his head. "I feel sad not because I broke up with her. It's because of something else."reply taehyung."You can't tell me?" 

"I will tell you if you tell me what is the reason you keep avoiding me?"asked taehyung. "No..I can't tell you about that" "Fine. I will not tell you then."said taehyung while eating his ice cream. "Then... We both are back again like before?"asked taehyung while looking at me.

"I guess" I said. I'm so happy that we are back again even he will not reply my feelings. He keep eating that ice cream. "You want this ice cream? We can share it just like before."asked taehyung. "No. I will buy another one."I say while standing up to buy another ice cream for me. He just looks at me while laughing. We are back.

One month after that, I meet jungkook. Because of jungkook, my feelings towards taehyung completely dissapear. I guess now I can be with taehyung without being hurt just like before.

~flashback end~

I look at my phone. No message. No call. I sigh. Did I just waiting for jungkook to message or call me? I laugh to myself. I guess it like that.
