[3:00 am] you heard loud repetitive knocks on your door that caused you to wake up, a mixture of worry and confusion hit you and wondered who would ever visit you at such a late time of the night.
in slow steady steps you walked to the door and unlocked it, revealing your best friend hongjoong who looked quite anxious. you were surprised by his sudden visit because usually he would text you beforehand if he decided to visit.
you told him to come in before he took off his shoes and wore a slipper before collapsing on the couch.
"hongjoongie, is everything okay?" you questioned, concern was evident in your voice. you had never seen hongjoong in such a state. he let a heavy sigh escape from his pink lips before he shot his eyes closed and opened his mouth to speak.
"i.. i can't sleep. there's something that i've been thinking about for quite a while.." he stuttered, you thoughtfully looked at him, feeling even more concerned. what could hongjoong be thinking about so much that he couldn't sleep?
"what is it? you can always talk to me about anything, hongjoongie." you rested your hand on his shoulder, gently patting him as a sign of reassurance.
he took a deep breath, feeling heavy before he started speaking.
"y/n, i think i've been developing some feelings for you.." it came out as a soft whisper, but was audible enough for you to hear.
"i tried so hard to fight those feelings in order to keep our friendship because it's the most precious thing in my life and i could never afford losing it, but i couldn't. i fell in love with you, madly. you're all i ever think about, from the moment i wake up till the moment i fall asleep. i love you so much." you felt flustered hearing your best friend's confession. yet you were so happy because you actually liked him back but were too shy to initiate the first move.
"you don't know how long i've been waiting for this moment." you said, cupping his face in your hands before locking your lips with his. it was a short yet passionate kiss. you looked at him, seeing a blush on his face that caused you to softly giggle.
"i love you too, hongjoongie~" you softly whispered. you saw his face lit upon hearing your words. a heavy weight had been lifted off his shoulders.
"i may not be your first, your last or your only. but i don't care, you love me now and that's all that matters to me." he hummed softly before leaning in for another kiss.
