"I like you." 'He what?' I was a bit surprised.

"What?"

"Dummy, after all this time you still never noticed my feelings for you. I was in a lot pain because of that and I still am. I liked you so much that I came to realize that I love you." I looked at him in surprise. I thought we were nothing but good friends, nothing but brother and sister.

"Dummy." He closed his eyes and inched his face closer to mine. I was still processing what was happening. I felt his breath as our lips were almost touching and then..... I stepped back and pushed him off.

"What do you think you're doing?"

"I-I'm sorry."

"We should go inside." I picked up my things and started walking towards the hotel.

"Park Sungmi!" He yelled out my name. I just ignored him and walked faster.

"Park Sungmi wait!" He put his hand on my shoulder and I turned around.

"What do you want? What was that all about back there?" He had nothing to say, but I could tell that he wanted to say something.

"Do you have something to say? If you do then say it." - A/N - Nigahamyeon 😂 - He didn't say anything and just stood there.

"Sungmi-ah."

"What? You keep saying my name, but you say nothing. I know you have something you want to say, so say it."

"You must have a lot of questions for me." How did he-?

"Yeah, I actually do. How long have you liked me? Since when did you start liking me? Why do you like me?"

"I've liked you for about 7 years now." I was speechless. 7 years is a long time.

"I liked you since the first time I saw you. The moment I saw you come sit at our table, I just thought that you were a cute girl. But the moment I heard you talk, I fell in love with the sound of your beautiful voice. Not only were you a cute fluffy girl, but the sound of your voice made my heart beat faster."

"Is that it?"

"No, as we got closer as friends, I started missing you more often. I wanted to hear your voice over and over again. I always felt the need to be with you. I felt like being selfish. No matter how much I knew I couldn't have you, I wanted you all to myself. I wanted to protect you more and more even though it hurts me. It hurts me when I see you, but it hurts more when you're not with me. These feelings are slowly killing me on the inside and swollowing me. But do you know what hurts more? Knowing that you'll never like me back."

"Why didn't you just give up? You could have fought it."

"Dummy, you can never win in a fight with your feelings. You're only going to hurt yourself even more. You will eventually get tired of them and move on with life."

"How will you know that you've moved on?"

"When the time comes, I will feel nothing when I look at you." I wonder how that feels like.

"We should go inside. It's getting cold." He walked past me. I turned around to say something to him.

"Woo Jiho-"

"Don't worry, tomorrow we can pretend that none of this happened. I know that, that's what you want." I was speechless. That wasn't even close to what I was going to say, but it's true. In the past when he did weird things like this I'd always pretend that nothing happened. But are we really just going to forget about it? Just like that?
