“How long are you going to ignore him?” Seulgi asked. We were in our dorm, sitting side by side to watch a movie. But then a new message popped out from my phone, and she snatched it before I did.
“I don’t know,” I honestly don’t even know why I ignore him the whole time, “until he gives up?” I wasn’t supposed to say that, but maybe it’s for the best. But which one would benefit more, I didn’t know either.
“He seems to be a good guy. He cares about you, and I know you care about him too,” she said. What Seulgi said was right, I do care about him. But I care about my members too. I don’t know whether it is related or not, but I have this guts that’s been telling me that none of this would be right. I should’ve kept quiet about this.
“No, but I care about the other members more,”
“Look, I know I’ve said something in the past that makes you afraid about these things. About the scandals, etc. But he seems to be a good guy. We often see them on and off camera, right? I already know their personalities just by looking. So trust me, he knows the risk. Having an idol friend is not a sin, Wendy,” she said, assuring me.
“Why do I need more friends when I already have you?” Now I have an argument to keep up.
“Seriously?” she furrowed her eyebrows, “ugh, whatever.” And we proceed to watch the remaining scene of the movie, before she said her best argument that kept me shut for five minutes straight.
“Don’t you miss Joshua?” she threw the biggest bomb for her last argument, great.
Joshua was my friend, notice the past tense that I clearly stated. He was a wonderful best friend from my hometown, he was always there for me when I was in a slump. He’s like a brother to me. But things didn’t work out properly because someone suddenly came into his life. It was his girlfriend, and you all know where this is going to take us. She got jealous, verbally harassed me, and I ended up ditching him for good. Because, like I said earlier, when I make decisions, it’s for the best.
“Okay, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to bring up your past and state it for my winning argument,” she sighed, she was probably tired of convincing me.
“But seriously, what did he do to make you this ignorant to someone? You’re not the Son Seungwan that I used to know,” she sighed, again. What did he do? The question was supposed to be, what did I do? Dancing with a friend’s crush and realized that she was watching all the time? Yup, she did. She watched the whole scene from outside the room when we danced, and that’s what kept me from seeing him. Because I knew I’m just going to ruin someone’s relationship, by being selfish. Do I have to be the third wheeler all the time? Do I have to always be in the middle of someone’s romantic story? AND, do I have to tell HER every single detail about what exactly happened between the three of us?
“DO tell me the details, Seungwan. I know that kind of expression that you
