"I promise, that my bestfriend, y/n, is my only bestfriend, will always be my bestfriend and can only be my bestfriend."
"I also promise, that my bestfriend, Baekhyun, is my only bestfriend, will always be my bestfriend and can only be my bestfriend." And you ended it with a pinky swear.
Yes. When you two were kids, you guys strongly agreed with that. Thinking that it's impossible and it's gonna be disgusting when one of you accidentally fell for the other one.. But you disagreed with it when your heart skipped a beat when he smiled at you. Thinking that you could possibly break it. Break the silly promise you two made.
"Hello? y/n! How dare you daydream of me when I'm actually in front of you?" He kid. You threw a piece of potato chip at him.
"Stop it Baek. Or I'll kiss you." Then you gave him a smirk.
"Ohhhh I'm scared. I think I'm going to pee in my pants." He said sarcastically.
"You better be." 'I don't get it! I'm already saying it literally and he's still taking it as a joke!' You thought.
"Guess what.."
"I don't have time to guess, Baek. I hate you!" 'Is this PMSing because I have my period or am I just sick of him taking me as a joke?' You thought.
"Red days.. Uhuh.. Anyway, Remember Polarlight?" Polarlight is a nobody. She's not that famous like You and Baek in your university. She's not that smart, not that pretty, she's just a plain photographer in your university's newspaper.
"Urgh Baek! Why do you always take me as a joke?"
"What?" He said with a confusion.
"Dang it. You know that I'm a straightforward one.. And when I say I love you, I like you, let's have a date, I'll kiss you, I mean it! I literally mean it, you Numb!!" He stayed silent. "Well?! Say something, Jerk!!"
"I thought you--"
"Thought.." You sneered. "Everything's always messed up with the word 'thought'. Why don't you ask me first?!" You shouted. "Are you Deaf? Stupid? Turtle brain? Numb or something?"
"I'm not deaf.. I actually hear you saying those.. But I guess I thought you only said it because you love me as a bestfriend. You like me as a bestfriend because that's what we promised when we were kids. So that means I'm stupid and I have a turtle brain.. And Numb--" he stopped talking when someone kissed him from behind. You're also surprised..
That nobody was actually somebody to him. Infact, she's his everything.
Polarlight smiled at him and you saw Baekhyun gave her a smile that he never showed you. Then she left.
"Numb..." He leaned on the table. "I guess it's my disease." You're still frozen at your place. "Polarlight and I are already dating.."
Then there's a silence.
"I'm sorry, y/n." You looked at him. You can see a trace of guilt and sadness on his face. "I promise, that my bestfriend, y/n, is my only bestfriend, will always be my bestfriend and can only be my bestfriend..." He looked at you.
You smiled.
"So I was the deaf.. I didn't hear my conscience trying to remind me the promise. I was the stupid one because I thought that I can break that promise. I was the one who has the turtle brain because I'm too slow to realize things.. And--"
"Hey, don't cry.." Baekhyun wiped the tears that are racing in your cheeks.
"And I'm the numb one.. I'm too numb to feel things. To feel that I don't have a chance." You stood up. "Right. I'm your only bestfriend, will always be your bestfriend, and can only be your bestfriend.." Showing him your pinky.
