She just doesn't know
Pleasant Imagines, JinjooYujin's POV
It's been years since I've known her. We live together in a rented apartment and have been best friends for as long as I can remember.
All she did was be there for me no matter when it is or where I was.
I've come to realise I loved how she's always there. I loved her presence, the way she talks, and laughs, and the way she understands me like no one would.
She was the person I have been finding. The person I've been dying to meet. The person who could make me do things I didn't want. The person who brought out a whole new me I wasn't aware of.

Thinking she might be the captain of the netball team in high school, she didn't get voted. Valedictorian speech? She stuttered so bad she got chased off the stage.
And every single guy she thought was cute, they were all out of her reach. They had people of their own. Or basically, she got rejected.
