"hey. you ever consider the possibility that you're in love?"

i freeze. i never did. i didn't think it was possible that i'd be in love, since i'd never experienced anything that could possibly come close.

"i...i never did, now that you mention it. an-and i think you might be right, jae. i-i think i might be in love. holy shit."

he chuckles softly. "i think your love is more serious than the one i had last month. mine was...more of infatuation confused for love. i thought i loved her, but in reality i didn't. i was in love with the idea of her."

i nod. "what if...i'm only in love with the idea of him? how can i tell?"

he scratches his chin. i don't think he's even considered the possibility of my crush to be him. "well...do you think he's perfect? like, do you refuse to accept that he has flaws?"

"well-"

"wait, lemme rephrase that. tell me about him. everything. his weak points, his strong points, why you like him."
