YN POV
I stood there in silence

I can't make a choice
I'm too scared that if I choose one of them, the others would feel hurt
Is this really what my mother once said to me before I went to my first year of highschool?
Before...
She died?

I remember her saying to me

Flashback
I was in the car, ready for my first year of highschool, thinking to myself about the FUN I'll have soon

Who are gonna be my friends? Will I do well and get into a good college later? Is this where I'll find my other half?

So many questions were running through my head when I noticed that my mom had stopped near the front of the school

As I was about to get out, my mom locked the door and grabbed me by the shoulder then said to me "YN... whatever you do.. don't believe that love is a good thing" Her head lowers "I was a fool to believe it was... that's why I regret so many things with your father, so remember this..

Love is a disguise for pain

It's only torture being in love because..
Whats the point in loving if everyone is going to start hating on you for it?"

I look at her with a confused and weirded out expression before she let's go of my shoulder and unlocks the doors

I got out and walked to my first class, repeating what she said to me in the car

And it stuck to me

I began to realize and criticize the many flaws that I saw in so-called 'couples' that were being touchy with each other in public

It wasn't love, that was just lust that they were displaying to their temporary other

End Flashback
I lowered my head in shame and began to stutter "I-I... I don't want to h-hurt any o-of you.. because.. it's been so hard f-for me to handle this n-new feeling that I don't know how to respond to such beautiful women confessing to me" I raised both my hands up to keep them from inching closer to me, and keeping them from hearing my violently pulsating heart being heard

"W..why me? There's so many other guys out there who could make you all happier.. Chaeyoung, you could find someone to handle and appeal to your rebellious, lion-like personality
Mina, finding someone with the ability to just make you feel appreciated with your beauty
And you Nayeon, I'm shy.. with your personality.. I think we would just crack under pressure and break eventually.."

All 3 of them gathered in front of me in a tight formation and balled their fists near their faces, doing aegyo
"Because we love you!! Isn't that enough to accept me?"

Before I even reach a point where I decide to choose between the three of them..
I'd be dead before I know it

Just like the protagonists in movies

Heroes die...
Before the most interesting event of their lives..
It's just that mine will be sooner than others I guess

I think I might die my heart even opens up to love

Must people always have to go through love? Or is it something that just picks you to suffer?

"YN...
So who will it be?"
