Youngjae • Daehyun

The day I knew I loved him was the day he told me he didn’t believe in love. Ironic isn’t it?

“Why should I go looking for something that doesn’t exist?” he said. The whole time I was thinking about how wrong Daehyun was; That if what I was feeling wasn’t love, what else could it have been? If I wasn't in love, my stomach wouldn't flip whenever I thought of him; I would be able to stop the constant thoughts of him that plagued my mind.

It was saddening really, knowing he would never feel the same. He took things at face value and didn’t dive beneath the surface, through all the maybes and possiblies and only-if-you-believes. I was just his friend; there was nothing more to it for him.

Many times he had told me that I had Peter Pan Syndrome. He thought I would never grow up and I would always be stuck in the Land of Make Believe. I simply replied that if that were so, then he had the Wendy Dilemma. And it seemed that he really did. He was my Wendy, as strange as it may sound. He always took care of me and always treated me like I was a little kid, which in comparison to him, I was.
