Secret (Short Story)

1

Looking back then I realized how I regretted every moment I wasted.
How I just let you go without even you knowing that I love you. Well what was I supposed to do? The world we live in was so different.

Yuju's POV

You were always the happy virus that everyone adored. Your jokes and crazy antics always made your friends laugh. It seems there's not even a boring moment with you. You were happy, outgoing and vibrant

Well.... me.... I'm the complete opposite of you. I'm sad, boring and lonely. I had a few friends before but one day they just shut me out.

I didn't know why but maybe they got tired of me, maybe I was just that boring to be with

That scenario happened to me too many times already. It even feels normal now to experience that.

I tried socializing with others but it's either I'm being ignored or rejected.

So one day I just stopped, I chose to be alone.

I realized that without people around me, I felt nothing...

No drama, no pain, no disappointment.... and no happiness.... until you came along Lee Seokmin.

I still remember back then during P.E. class. Everyone had a partner for the activity.

Since your friends were 12 boys there was an odd number and as for me well I just stood at the side knowing I can't really do the activity because no one wants to pair up with me.

It's okay I'm actually used to being alone anyway so why not one more time? The words I kept telling myself.

But you saw me at the corner and walked towards me. You asked me to be partners with you while smiling at me.

That moment I felt so happy that someone decided to ask me that.

Even though it was just a small thing, even though I know you were only doing this because you have to, even though you'll just forget me after this.

It meant the world to me, that was the first time somebody came to interact with me, the first time somebody asked me to be their partner

..And also the first time I felt my heart beat faster.
