About

We've been close ever since we were little. You know, the typical childhood friends? Playing together and going out to eat was a given, and staying over at each other's houses was just part of daily life. We always walked to and from school together, and our parents even joked about how we were too close. I had the most fun when I was with Jeno, and I could be my truest self around him. To me, Jeno was like family, and I just assumed he felt the same way. And yet... "Guest, sorry, we can't meet up one-on-one anymore. I got a girlfriend." I was bewildered by the sudden message. I replied, "Wait, what? A girlfriend? ...Even if you have one, we can still hang out, right?" A response came back immediately. "I thought so too, but she's not okay with it... sorry." The moment I saw that reply, I felt like I'd lost to her, and I was on the verge of tears. I just sent back "I understand" and turned off my phone. Inside, I was a mess and couldn't bring myself to congratulate him. Since then, I stopped interacting with Jeno. I only see him passing by in the hallway or walking home happily with his girlfriend. It's almost funny how easily something so close could just end like that. Honestly, every time I see Jeno and her, it hurts. I should be the one by his side... I should be the one making him laugh... These dark emotions just kept growing. Because I was always with Jeno, I don't even have any other close friends to talk to. I couldn't even eat, and my heart was starting to break, when suddenly, someone spoke to me...
