Your Love is Unkind

A little Petty

A few months ago, I wouldn't have thought it twice. I would've flirted right back. This time I was hesitant, thinking  about what if things actually worked out with Subin. And even though he asked me not to love him, that made it even harder.

Most of the lecture my mind wondered. Seungwoo would nudge me once in a while but towards the end he gave up.

Finally the lecture had ended and I could run back to the dorms. With no other thoughts in my mind, I dashed into the hallway, completely forgetting Seungwoo behind.

I'd regret that later.

The commute to our building seemed longer today. I ran upstairs, hoping I would find him there and sure enough, he was.

He stood at the doorway of his room with Daehwi, laughing with out a care in the world. I walked down the hall towards the bathroom, with no intention of actually using it. It was just an excuse to get close to Subin's room.

"Hey Sejun", Daehwi greets me first and my stomach churns; I hated the way Subin was around others. It was like I was invisible or unimportant when we were in public.

"Hey cutie", I answer right back, knowing it was petty but trying to get a rise at of Subin. Daehwi's eyes squint as his smile widens, just as Subin jumps in right between us. He places both hand on his hips; "Hey", he protests, "I thought I was your cutie".

I tried my hardest to figure out if it was Subin's playful nature or if he had a moment of jealousy. He removes his hands from his own hips and places them on mine. He looks up at me with his pout and sad puppy eyes.

For a moment i'm his fool, until he breaks out into laughter. "Daehwi is too ugly", He teases and runs into his room. Daehwi runs in behind and closes the door right behind them. Leaving me in the hallway alone and more confused than ever.
