Yuta pov:
I can't believe I did this to myself. Fell in love with my best friend of 13 years. The one thing that they say you should avoid doing. And if, for some reason that does happen, you're supposed to push it down and ignore it right? Act unbothered and strong? You aren't supposed to be so weak that it slips out when you are just walking around town looking at the sunset.

Even though all of this has been pounded into my head since I was 10, I still ignored it all and fell in love with Dong Sicheng, the second most beautiful boy to exist. If Kim Yugyeom didn't exist, he would be first.

Sicheng and I met in elementary school, when I was 7 and he was 5. I remember finding him so adorable that I just wanted to protect him. We became best friends, and we lasted through junior high school, all through high school. I was perfectly content with watching him and silently admiring him.

Until I graduated high school. Because of our two year age gap, he was 16 when I graduated. His second year of high school, we drifted apart a bit. I was busy with graduation requirements, he was trying to graduate a year early.

I realised towards the end of my last year of high school that I had non-platonic feelings for my best friend. But I realised it when he walked into school one day holding hands with a kid from my grade, Moon Taeil.

I realised how utterly whipped I was for him a year and a half later when he called me crying when Taeil broke up with him a month after Sicheng graduated.

I comforted him and tried to no avail to stop myself from falling for him further

It obviously didn't work as I looked at Sicheng, who was just staring at me blankly. It slipped out when I had glanced over at him, and with the sunset behind him, he really looked like an angel.

"I love you Sicheng" I wish I could take those words back.

"I love you too Yuta. You've always taken good care of me and I'm thankful to have a good brother" Of course. Brother. I should have just stopped there. Maybe go 'yeah haha of course'

But I kept going. I dug my grave deeper.

"N-no I mean in a non-platonic way. I have since I was 18. I l-love you Sicheng" As soon as those words left my mouth, I wanted to run away. Crawl in a hole, maybe change my name, move back to Japan.

The look on his face was unreadable. I stood there for about 30 seconds before I started to turn away.

As I was walking away I heard a faint whisper saying, "I don't feel the same way, but maybe if you tried hard enough I could fall in love with you"
