Best Friend 🌻 yeinkook [SH#1]

20: his best friend *

A/N: Here we go with the last chapter, ahhhh. I almost forgot this story since I am back at focusing on my other story, MYSTIC HIGH II: FATED WORLDS, but fortunately, someone asked me when I am going to give this an update. So here it is. I decided to place this note here at the beginning rather than at the end so that the ending would end amazingly HAHA 😈 I do not know how to express my gratitude to you guys who have been loving and appreciating this story. I am really grateful with your love and support through the votes and comments. We all know that this is such a cliché story about best friends and so on so I still really want to thank you for being with me throughout the making of this story 🥺 Lovelots and God Bless! Advance Happy New Year to everyone!

Sadly, we won't be having any banglyz moments before this year ends *sobs*

Never have I expected that the time would actually come where Kook would be aware of the feelings I had unknowingly been keeping for years. I just realized this now after isolating myself in my room for two days. I went home, I missed home.

I just pretended I was sick but my parents were not easy people to deceive. So before knocking on our gate, I hardly slapped my cheeks countless times until it showed light shades of red. I also sneaked out some hot packs and let it stay on my skin, especially on my forehead and neck.

Feeling satisfied with the warmth it gave me, I quickly knocked on our gate and successfully made my mom feel worried as she immediately let me in. I was sorry for my mom but I had to have some time and space to unwind my confused mind that time.

Our memories since childhood were the only film that was playing in my head. It jumbled my heart, those were both bad and good memories of us. Those two days led me to a lot of realizations. One of which would be about my feelings for him.

People are right. We can never force and compel love to exist. Well, simply because love comes and blooms naturally.

I was not aware that my heart has already been growing some feelings for him. Maybe I was blinded with my role as his best friend that I did not bother to scrutinize what my heart silently speaks.

I thought it started when we went to Paris together to view the famous Eiffel Tower, while I was gazing at him looking at the city lights, his eyes wonderfully shone as it reflected the amazing view, when I was mesmerized by his presence. I felt my heart beat for him that night, but it did not begin there.

It was gradually blooming since the time he was using me as an excuse to escape from his fangirls, when he is the person I could never say no to that I eventually watched and supported his basketball game and even prepared a bottled water and towel for him, when I always take care of his wounds and cuts with bandaids, when I am always willing to be his pillow, a shoulder he could lean on, when I am there in his best moments, capturing his precious smiles in a camera, when simply my presence makes him feel like he has a sister, when he is always the subject in my portraits and sketches, when I am always his partner in everything he does in life.

Always.

The consistency hindered me from knowing what I truly feel. But the two days inside my room helped me to be certain with my decision. I have decided to put an end to anything I feel for him. It is for the sake of our friendship, I chose to treasure it forever.

Like come on, we have been friends for many years, and what I feel for him is nothing compared to the years of our friendship.

So I am presently on my way to the cafeteria to find him. I just watched my phone rang alone due to his unending calls and messages. I did not respond to any of those, but to make him stop, I told Sujeong and others that I had lost my phone and I am at home, not feeling well.
