“I’m sorry, Kyungsoo…” You didn’t know how to react to this. All this time you had thought of him like a brother, nothing more. So this came as a shock to you and you really, truly felt bad for rejecting him. But how could you not? You just didn’t think about him that way.

In his eyes you could see how hurt he was by your answer, but he didn’t pursue it. Instead, respecting your choice, he said: “It’s getting a bit late…”

You nodded, understanding. He wanted to be alone. You left. It was a couple of weeks before the two of you played games together again. When you did Kyungsoo acted as if nothing had happened and soon you managed to forget it had ever happened, content to remain friends. But Kyungsoo never forgot.
