호시
I let out a sigh of relief after saying those words.
I was able to say it.
I was able to tell you.

However, my stomach still manages to twist and turn in continuous fear.
What if you hate me now? Aren't gay people despised in the society?

I look at you. I try my best to figure out what you're thinking, but, because I'm not good at that, I'm just left furrowing my eyebrows at the shocked expression that you are wearing.

"Do you hate me?" I decide to ask.

우지
I feel the plastic straw fall from my lips as I quickly realise what you said.

You like Wonwoo.
Your "friend".

Here I am, hoping you were going to confess to me today. Hoping that you'd tell me that you like me. In which would follow with my reply, "I like you too".

Here I am, afraid that you aren't gay.
This is worse.
You like someone else.

"No," I manage to choke out. "Why would I hate you?"
