“Hey”

 

“Hi.”

 

“It’s been a while hasn’t it.”

 

“Yeah, I uh, I wasn’t expecting you to be here.”

 

“Honestly I wasn’t expecting it either. But I’m glad I showed up.”

 

“Me too.”

 

“Do you want to step outside for a bit?”

 

———————————————————

 

“Look at those dorks. It’s been two years and they still haven’t sorted out their feelings.”

 

“Honey you can’t be one to talk. I thought I’d have to wait another 10 years for you to realize your feelings for me.”

 

“Hey! That’s not true! I had a plan!”

 

“Sure Babe. That’s not what your bestie told me. If she hadn’t said anything about the girl that asked me out, then I’d probably still be waiting for you.”

 

“I know. I’m the luckiest person in the world. I’m sorry for making you wait so long.”

 

———————————————————

 

“It’s the same over and over again. Aren’t you tired of it? Cause I am. I’m sick and tired of going around and around.”

 

“If that’s how you feel then why don’t you just end it?”

 

“That’s not what I meant! I just want us to stop fighting!”

 

“Then stop making me feel like you don’t want to be here! Talk to me! I know you two are still close and I want to be okay with it! But you’re making it really hard for me!” 

 

“She’s my best friend!”

 

“And I’m your girlfriend!” 

 

“I know, I said yes right? It’s because I love you!”

 

“I thought you did. So why does it still feel like I’m your second choice?” 

 

———————————————————

 

“Hey, I’ve been looking all over for you. What’s wrong?” 

 

“I don’t understand how one person can bring you so much pain, but also make you the happiest that you can be.”

 

“Ahhh. They’re fighting again?”

 

“Yeah. Why can’t she just let her go? She’s obviously still hooked on her best friend.” 

 

“I think that it’s brave of your sister to fight for who she loves.” 

 

“But all it’s doing is causing her pain.”

 

“Trust me. If she walked away, she’d still be in pain.”

 

“You seem like you know exactly how she’s feeling.”

 

“I do. You know, you’re kind of like her in a sense. Both kind of dense.”

 

“Yah. How could you even compare me to her? And what do you mean you do?” 

 

“Well you’re still caught up with that girl who left, you don’t really seem to notice that I’m still here.” 

 

———————————————————

 

“I can’t believe they’re going to be the first to tie the knot.” 

 

“Why not? They’re the only ones who seemed to have their together.”

 

Gasp. “Since when do you swear?” 

 

“A lot can change in two years.”

 

“You’re right. I’m sorry.”

 

“Why?”

 

“Because I knew how you felt and I still left.”

 

“You don’t have to be sorry for not returning my feelings.” 

 

———————————————————

 

“I really hope they’ll figure things out though.” 

 

“They will.”

 

“How are you so sure?”

 

“I have a good feeling about it. Besides Jeong wasn’t planning on coming back until she heard that Tzu was coming back from Taiwan.”

 

“How did you know?”

 

“Well Seungwan told me that when Sooyoung and Yerim went to hang out with Nayeon, they ran into Dahyun and Sana. Sana let it slip that Jeong left with Momo and Mina to Japan. So Nayeon confronted Jeong about it and Jeong confessed that she wasn’t coming back. But then Nayeon found out from Dahyun and Chae that Tzu was coming back and going to be staying with Jihyo. So she told Jeong and now they’re both here at the rehearsal.”

 

———————————————————

 

“I love you. I do. But I can’t do this anymore.”

 

“Wha—“

 

“Wait. Let me finish, because if I don’t say this now, I may not ever be able to.” “I knew from the beginning that you weren’t 100 percent ready but I asked you anyways. Because I thought that with time, I could make you forget about her. But it’s been two years, and all we do is fight and hurt each other. I’ve loved you for so long that when I finally got the chance to be you, I went for it. And I realize now that it wasn’t fair to you and to me. So I’m sorry. But I can’t be your second choice anymore. I think we need some time to figure things out.”

 

“I—I’m sorry.”

 

“Yeah. I know.”

 

———————————————————

 

“What?? Why are you laughing? That’s not funny!”

 

“I wasn’t trying to be. It’s just, I’m sorry for springing this on you now, but I really thought that I’ve been obvious?” “Look, I’m not looking for an answer right now. I get it. She’s your first love. But someday, maybe now that it’s on the table that I could possibly be an option, maybe I could be your last.”

 

“Really? How are you just so calm saying things like that?”

 

“I’ve waited a long time. I was too scared to say anything before. Sometimes I regret not being strong enough to be honest with you, then maybe I’d be that first love. But I’m not going to waste anymore time. I’ve been in love you with you ever since you punched Kai in the face for calling me fat in the 2nd grade. I thought it was just a little crush, but as time went by, my feelings for you just got stronger.”

 

“I don’t know what to say.”

 

“It’s okay. Like I said, I’m not looking for an answer right now. But please expect me to ask you again in the future.”

 

———————————————————

 

“It’s not that I didn’t feel the same way. I was scared.”

 

“Of me?” 

 

“Not you exactly. But the way you made me feel.” 

 

“Made.”
