20cm ๑ SOOGYU ✔️

๑ 1 ๑

Everyone always made jokes that me and you were always in a 20cm radius of each other, that we were like Yin and Yang.

Salt and pepper.

Coffee and cream.

I always laughed it off, claiming that you were just clingy.

You would then gasp and slap me.

But, recently, things have been changing.

Whenever someone nags about how close we are, you kiss my cheek.

I blush.

And, you say, 'he's my best friend'.

I hate it.

Because now I understand the lyrics to love songs.

Now I can relate to all the romance dramas.

And, to top it all off, it's because of you.

My best friend.

A best friend that only saw me as that, a best friend.

A best friend who once said that I was like a brother to him.

A best friend that was, currently, ranting to me about a girl he'd met the other day at the bakery, and how beautiful she looked in her baby blue summer dress that had the prettiest floral pattern on it-

"Gyu, are you even listening?" You interrupted my thoughts, like you always did.

But, today you seemed really annoyed.

"No, sorry. I was just.. spacing out" I answered with a shrug.

"Oh, what were you thinking about?" You asked.

Your voice was softer now.

I finally looked down at you.

You looked up at me with your large dark brown, almost black, eyes in wonder.

My palms grew sweaty as my heart began to ache.

"That maths test tomorrow" I quickly lied.

"Don't worry, you'll do good" you reassured.

You sat up from your position on my lap to ruffle my hair, and give me a hug.

I blushed.

We cuddled for what felt like hours, but I wanted it to be days.

I liked how your touch sent tingles down my spine.

But my heart was sinking.

I was sinking

Because I was in love with my best friend.
