Hopeless Love
Small ShadowThis chapter will be Taehyun's POV. Happy reading ^^~
= = = = =
In the 6th semester, in our departement have a big project. Our class divided to 2 groups, we must sells foods and beverages that unique, make some unforgetable cafe! In the preparation days of the cafe, I started to realized something. I love music so much. And become tired with this college life. I survived until now just by thinking my parents's hard work to pay this extra-expensive high-end college. And maybe because in first bored college life, I finally knew Mino. We get separated classes before and make a many same classes after 4th semester. And we become very closer and closer that people around us mistaken us for dating. They start to asking us if we are dating. We just shake our head and state "No, we're not dating!" or just stared each other with annoying look when people ask us when together and said like "I'm dating this ugly man?!" or something like "Am I that crazy dating this man?!" Jokes, curse, tease with friends plus a packed paper, endless tasks, busy preparation for cafe, make me so tired to do this again. I just want a free life. My own life. No lies, no acts. I decided to take a break from college. Coward, I know. But I just want to pursue my dreams. My real dreams.

I can't say I take a break to pursue my dream, become a singer. I'm a strerotype person with shy personalities that I can't shared all things in my head to other people, even my best friends. I don't know why, maybe I'm shy? They're good friends, not they're a bad, it's just my bad personality I have make it all awkward. Notice tone from my phone that tell me I have a new private chat. I read the sender. Mino.

Tae : No! Mino NO! Not that reason! Really!!!
Mino : whatever
Tae : No MINO i will go to ur room
After I explain all the reason (except the singer reason) finally you understand me and give me a weak supporting smile. Everyday you send a complain message, both in private and group chat or when we talked together in our room, but still you help me to pack my things. So after some difficult process to take a break, I take all the saved money on my secret pocket on my bed, I go to Seoul and auditioned in various music label. Big company, until the company that I don't know exist. Six months passed with a dissapointed result, I decided to back to college. Maybe that action is just my un-matured mind cause of the stress of busy semester. So I just determined myself to graduate faster and pursue my singer dream.
Many things changed after I left college. Seungyoon, Jinwoo, Jiho, and Jihoon decided to take a double degree in overseas. Park Kyung become a sudden president of a big company, since his father is ill. He become absent-rich boy on college and get detention because the absents. And so, I left alone with Mino in this college. We spend time always together and decided to take the same classes since no close friends again beside each other. We started to go out together. Start to go out in the night for dinner or just a snack to satisfied hungry tummy on midnight. We always together. Eat, study, finishing tasks from the proffesor all together, we even share a same group if the class have a group projects.
I start to have this sweet expectation. Once I get this - I don't know what to say - signal from you, I just closed fast all the expectation. Afraid. Coward. We're best friend, I don't want to ruin this. We're just a best friends, nothing special more than that. Maybe we're just lonely because our best friends all gone. But... I can have that expectation right? Expectation... That you have a feeling for me? That we're not a just friends?
Until that some night, we go to our favorite snack house. We ordered our favorite menus, and sit faced each other and start to talk random things like that is the natural thing to do. Curse the groups's person that not come out when we worked the projects, curse the proffesor that have a dificult tasks or difficult exam, video calling the four overseas person and share our activities, called Park Kyung, with his favorite menu in this house.
"Many people asking me that if we're dating." Mino said after ended the call with Kyung.
I stop munching my food and face him. "What?"
"I said, many people asked if we're dating." He faced me too. Look straight to my eyes.
"That's the everyday quiz, Mino-ya. I get that questions too." I said, try to act all cool, but avoided his hipnotized deep black eyes with that annoying perfect eyelashes.
"Are we look like we're dating?" He asked. No munch again and just look at my face. I look his face. Serious look changed that loveable tanned face. So I just let out a small smile and shake my head. Continue to snack my mouth with my favorite snacks that the taste become like a sands. I hate this talk. "Friends right? No more? Why they always ask that question? Don't understand~" Stop munching and I look at him. "We're... just friend... right?"
For a few seconds, I just stared blankly at his deep eyes. Mind gone blank. Afraid he catch my sudden shock reaction, I just nodded, continue munch my snack and acts cool, said, "Yeah... what else?" Coward. I even said it with a flat tone, little trimble and weak voice, eyes avoiding that black one.
Awkward silence. Still avoided your glance, munching as many of my food.
"Yeah right?" And you start to smile. I hate myself still have that stupid butterflies attacking my stomach when see that stupid wide smile.
Why you must smile like that?
It makes me weak.
It makes me to... like you and like you again.
I even can't say love on my own mind.
Because I'm afraid...
I'm...
Hurts.
It hurts.
A lot.
