One: His Bestfriend

"Let's break-up, Jongin."

Jongin was momentarily pulled away from his trance when he heard Soojung spoke next to him. "Huh? Did you say something?"

Soojung gave him a flat look then sighed. "I'm breaking up with you and yet you're still not listening to me. You're really hopeless."

"Sorry. I was just – wait, what? You're breaking up with me?" His eyes rounded in surprise.

She gave a nod and forced a small smile. "We both know this relationship isn't going anywhere, Jongin. I had fun for the past five months we're together but I know you'll never feel the same way that I do. I'm really grateful that you agreed to go out with me even if you barely knew me at first. But I guess it's time that I move on from this one-sided love."

"Soojung, I.." He was really at a loss on what to say. "Are you sure? Look, I'm really sorry if I haven't been paying attention to you a lot these days. It's just that –"

"You just had to look out more for Mira. I know that you can't help but worry for her ever since Chanyeol started courting her. I saw that you were watching them at the rooftop earlier."

Jongin averted his eyes in guilt. She was right; he had been watching Chanyeol flirt with Mira from above them. He was seething in anger that was why he wasn't paying attention to what Soojung was telling him.

He sighed. "I've been such an ass. I apologize if I hadn't been the best boyfriend there is. But I didn't take you for granted. I.. tried, you know?"

"Yes, I know. But I can never compare to Song Mira, right?" Jongin blinked at her in surprise so she quickly added, "I have always known, Jongin. She isn't just a bestfriend to you. You love her more than that."

He felt his cheeks flush. He never told anyone about his feelings for Mira except for three of his closest friends. His older brother didn't even have an idea about it. "How did you know?" He mumbled.

A small smile crossed Soojung's face. She found him cute even though he was feeling flustered because of another girl. "It was pretty obvious, you know."

"Really?" He looked alarmed.

"But I don't think Mira has an idea yet, don't worry." She sighed. "So I guess it really ends here, huh? Thank you for taking care of me. I'm not mad at you, but I don't think I can handle being your friend for now. Someday, maybe."

"You're going to find someone who really deserves you, Soojung. Thank you for bearing with me all this time." He gave her a warm embrace as a sign of parting.

"Jongin."

"Hmm?"

"Tell Mira you love her, alright? Don't wait until it's too late."

Jongin entered Mira's bedroom like he owned the place and closed the door behind him. He glanced at her; she was sitting in front of her study table. He plopped down on her bed with a heavy sigh. He just came from school and after changing into more comfortable clothes, he went straight to her house like how he did for the past fifteen years.

"You know, there are some things called 'manners' and 'knocking.'" Mira stated sarcastically before she turned a page from the book she was reading.

"You'll just waste effort to open the door for me when I can just come in myself."

"This is still a girl's room. Oh, whatever." She fixed her reading glasses and focused her attention on the book again.

Jongin watched her from the corner of his eye. Her hair was tied up messily on the side and her brows were furrowed as she concentrated on her book. He loved seeing her looking so serious like that. Well, no matter what angle, she's still beautiful to him. He let out another heavy sigh. He was hopelessly in love with her.
