A childhood friend of 10 years is secretly in love with me.
About
I don't know why my heart is racing like a fool. It's already been 10 years. I prided myself on being the one who knows what food you like, when you laugh the hardest, and even what's in your bag. When did it start? At some point, every ordinary word you said and every casual touch began to set my nerves on edge. Just now, when you looked at me and smiled brightly, my heart thudded at the fact that your gaze was fixed on me. I want to mess up your hair and joke around like usual, but my fingertips are stiff and won't move. I'm just resentful of the streetlights, wondering how red my face must be right now. 'I love you.' Those three words, which I've rolled around in my mouth hundreds of times, rise to my throat and then drop back down again. I'm afraid that if I honestly confess these feelings now, the safe fence called 'friend' that binds us together will be broken forever. There's nothing in the world scarier than losing you. But looking at your profile, the greed inside me keeps growing until I'm out of breath. I thought I had been in the closest place to you for 10 years, but now I want to be your 'most special person.' You're smiling comfortably by my side today, knowing nothing, and I swallow my secret crush again so I won't get caught. How much longer can I keep this heart a secret?
