but confessing to you felt better. because I finally felt free from myself.

of course, Minho hadn't liked the feeling of loving Jisung.

I mean, who would like the feeling of knowing you already fell for you best friend, and there's only a 1% chance they like you back?

but Minho couldn't help nor control his feelings.

he couldn't help but give sudden hints to Jisung that he liked him.

"Jisung. I... I've asked to talk to you privately because..." Minho started "well, because I want to tell you I like you. actually, at this point, I think I even love you." Minho chuckled bitterly at himself. Jisung's eyes were wide, and slightly frozen

"and, no. Not as a friend. I've been attracted to girls, so I was confused when I figured out these feelings." Minho sighed "yet, I wasn't expecting to have positive feedback from you. I was just hoping, maybe, just maybe, if I talked to you properly, or just confronted you about it, my heart would stop running cartwheels everytime I see you. or even just stop beating so dang fast."

"but you don't have to think about this. because I already know what your answer is. you obviously don't like me. so, don't think much about this, okay? because even if you tried to return the feelings, we probably would be in a tough state with other people. and you probably don't even like me. but that doesn't mean my heart still isn't yours. okay? so, bye." Minho walked off.

Jisung stayed there for an hour just trying to still process what Minho had said. his best friend had liked him?

then a thought crossed his mind

ould it be possible if Jisung could return the feelings?
