love song 11

"i've been such a dickhead i'm so sorry, you don't deserve this." wonwoo apologised. the sincerity clear in his eyes

after crying so hard into his shirt, his nipples were now visible, they both sat down together to talk in this calmer environment

seulmin stayed silent. she had already said everything she needed to say (maybe a bit too much) all she wanted to do now was to hear was his side of the story

"it's just that.."

the teenager sighed. how could he explain why he was acting like this because he liked her but his best friend was clearly infatuated with her. yeah, this was a no win situation

"i hated you and soonyoung together." he confessed

"hate?"
the tear stained girl was confused
"why?"

her eyes widened
there's no way, does h–

"the way you guys make each other smile, worry for each other. i just couldn't stand it." a bitter smile rested on his face

"we're not-

"dating? i know. but i see it in both your eyes. you guys like each other so much, it makes me mad."

mad? why would he mad unless- no i'm just jumping to conclusions

"you don't know that."

"i know my best friend." he stated "and i see how your expressions change around him. it's better to admit than be in denial trust me i know."

seulmin stayed silent

"anyway, after seeing you two i just couldn't help but feel overprotective of him."

he then delved in deeper
"after soonyoung get out of that long term relationship, he was so hurt. a pain that scarred him for months. i didn't want that to happen to him again so i couldn't help but be wary of you. i know that gave me no right to act like that. i still am truly sorry."

"i just wanted to protect the people i care about so much that i was blind to see that i was hurting them."

there was a silence between them. he had nothing more to say, wonwoo had already said the truth, without revealing the friendship destroying part. he waited for her response. he wouldn't be surprised if she just punched him in the face for his lame excuse.

"i guess there are always two sides of a story."
seulmin uttered

looking up, his eyes caught the sight of the girl in front of him. she seemed eyes portrayed a different emotion that changed from hurt to empathy.

"i forgive you wonwoo."

wonwoo's eyes widened
"what?"

"but i was a massive bitch–"
his eyebrows furrowed in confusion

"you were. but after hearing how you felt, i couldn't help but realize your protectiveness over a friend."

"you really forgive me?"

"of course dumbie but only on one condition."
she declared
