||Your POV||

It was almost five pm and the sun was setting right in front of the bench I'm sitting on. The park was quite silent as people started walking in solos. No couples, no children. Though it was the perfect time of the day, almost everyone in the city was busy.

The playground with rusted slide and other more equipments was free from children.

The horizon I was looking at was picturesque. Visible tinges of pink through the orange sky stood out together as it sank down with the sun.

The breeze is light and cold.

Everything at this time of the day felt special, especially that I'm in this park that's sentimental to both me and Taehyung.

This place is where I first met Taehyung. We would always meet up here during afternoon to play.

I looked at the old swing where the two of us used to fool around.

"Ride on the swing, y/n! I'll push you." Taehyung pointed at the swing.

"B-but don't push too hard ok?"
Taehyung nodded and grabbed my hand and led me to the swing.

12-year-old Taehyung was hyper. So he didn't know what was too hard for a push.

His started off gently, until he couldn't take it anymore and pushed y/n harder. This made y/n fly out from the swing and a scar was left on her knee. Taehyung ran to her.

She cried at first. But she found the situation funny so she laughed. "Yah! Y/n! Are you crazy?! You're badly hurt a-and you're laughing?!" Taehyung wanted to cry for her.

This resulted to y/n laughing even harder when she saw his face. She calmed down and smiled at him.

I smiled and looked at my left knee. The scar was still there. He left me a scar.

It's a scar that signified our best stamped memories in the past that refused itself to make the both of us forget.

I felt nervous all of a sudden. What am I gonna say to him? How do I tell him?

This is the first time I will be confessing to someone. I never thought it would be to my best friend.

"Boo!" I screamed in terror.

Glaring at who the culprit was, I doubted, Why do I even like him?

Doubting my decisions, I just stared at him. He finally calmed down from laughing too much and sat beside me.

"So, why do you want to meet me?" he started.
I started unconsciously sniffing my nose and fidgeting my fingers.
"Y/n?"

"I love you!"

Taehyung was shocked. "O-of course you do, we're best friends and I love you too."

I stared at him in disbelief. "Taehyung, I'm confessing. Ok listen, I know you like someone else. I started having these feelings towards you 2 years ago. I tried getting rid of it but I couldn't. Remember when I ignored you for a whole week? It totally didn't work. Reasons are: First, you're my best friend. Second, I'm in love. I know it's going to be awkward after this. I never thought that I'd see you in that way. That I'd love you in a different way. Love you as more that just a best friend."

Taehyung looked astonished.
"W-wow... I don't know what to say to this. But...I don't want to ruin our friendship, y/n. I'm sorry but I guess I don't feel the same way? B-but don't worry we're still best friends."

My heart broke into pieces. I didn't dare to move.

I was rejected. Stupid y/n. Of course he would! Why did I even confess to him! Pabo!

I hit my head with my hands. "Oh what happened to me! Why did I even confess! Haha" I forced a smile at him. "Let's just– let's just forget about it, ok?" I smiled again and left.

I was hurt. He left me a scar again.

I went back to my apartment and cried my heart out.

Jinjja, y/n pabo. Of course he won't like you back.
