Loser Love // Byeon Woo Seok X Reader
"You Never Saw Me"
From the very beginning,
I think I always knew.
There was something in the way your eyes drifted when she walked into the room-
something in the way your smile found her so effortlessly.
I felt it.
That quiet, aching pull in my chest.
The kind that warns you...
you're going to lose something you never even had.
The words "I love you" danced on the edge of my lips for so long.
So many times, I almost said it.
So many nights, I clutched my chest, wondering if maybe-just maybe-you felt it too.
But deep down, I already knew the truth.
You were never mine to begin with.
Even with everything-
Money.
Status.
Fame.
Everything people envy.
None of it mattered to you.
Because still...
Still, you chose her.
Not me.
Not the one who stood by your side all this time, who memorized your favorite songs, who stayed up just to make sure you got home safe.
I watched you fall for her.
Piece by piece, you gave yourself away.
And I-I was just a shadow lingering in the corners of your life, hoping you'd finally turn around and see me.
"Please, Woo Seok-ah," I whisper now, my voice cracking beneath the weight of everything I've buried.
"I love you. I really... love you."
But you'll never say it back, will you?
You'll never look at me the way you look at her.
It hurts. God, it hurts in ways I can't even explain.
I thought if I waited long enough,
if I loved you hard enough,
if I gave everything I had...
You'd finally choose me.
But all I got in return was silence.
And now, as tears slip down my cheeks, I find myself asking the same question over and over again:
"Why can't you see how much I'm hurting?"
But you never look back.
You never do.
