MINGYU
Why did it feel like my heart was being forcefully pulled from its prison? My chest felt as if it was closing in, restricting my lungs from providing me the functionalities to breath. Every ounce of blood that flooded through my veins had become hot and my knuckles turned white due to the pressure of my hands forming fists over the steering wheel. My stomach churned as those words were pulled from your lips.
My jealously became my dominant emotion every time you mentioned his name, causing me to shut you out. I felt guilty for my ignorance towards you but I knew I couldn't hide my feelings forever and a confrontation, much like the one we just went through, could have resulted in me confessing. And I was going to, but I needed to know who your heart belonged to first. I was stupid for thinking that you could ever think of me as more than a friend, just because we spent a night together, but I still had hope. Despite it being ripped away due to your admission.
I didn't allow these feelings to show through my features, all I did stare at the short girl in front of me with pure understanding. How could you not fall for Joshua? He was everything a woman could ask for in a man and yet I couldn't be that person for you.
I hadn't realised I was staring at you for as long as I was, until you tilted your head and began waving your hands in front of my eyes. I blinked back into reality and lowered my gaze, I couldn't bare to look you in the eyes in case you could recognise my hurt. "I know, I'm stupid." You sat back in the passenger seat and rubbed your eyes.
I chuckled to myself at your false statement, "You aren't stupid." I assured, "You're the smartest person I know."
I could feel your gaze burning into the side of my head, allowing the faint silence to sink in before you broke it, "Do you hate me for it?"
I squeezed my eyes closed, your question piercing holes into my chest, making my heart whimper at your words. Foolish girl, if only you knew. After much hesitation, I finally trusted myself to face you again. Your dark orbs bore desperation and need. "How could you think that?" You shrugged, your lips parting, you had the words jumbled in your head but they refused to form at the tip of your tongue. "I could never hate you." I managed a convincing smile, "I'm your best friend, aren't I?"
You mirrored my expression and loosened the tenseness of your muscles. "But I have feelings for Joshua, your Hyung. Even after you explicably explained that you don't like me around him. I know you can't be okay with this."
"What can I do about it? I can't control how you feel and I have no right to tell you how to act upon them. You were right about everything. I haven't got a voice in the matter and I was acting selfish. I don't even know why. Maybe it's just because I'm scared that you would chose him over me and eventually stop spending time with me." I couldn't distinguish if I was telling the truth, or just simply lying to the both of us.
