A Silent Love
One-shotsHi, I'm Jiyong. I have a boyfriend who had grew up with me. His name is Youngbae. I've always thought of him as a friend, until last year. I found that I have fell in love with him and confessed. Soon, we were a pair of lovers. I concentrated only on him. But by Youngbae's side, there were always other girls. There were other guys around him too.
To me, he was the only one. But to him, I may just be another guy... I guessI will never find out.
" Hey Youngbae. Want to go to the movies? " asked Jiyong.
" Can't, going out with friends," he mumbled.
He was always like that.
To him, I was just a boyfriend.
The days passed, yet he had never even said " I love you " to me. Yet with each passing day, he would give me a doll, without fail.
" Ummm, Youngbae, I..." I stuttered.
" What... don't drag, just say..." he said crossly.
" I love you." I said.
" ... Umm, just take this doll and go home." he replied.
I sighed.
This is how it began. The dolls I recieved from him filled my room.
One by one, day by day.
Another day, another doll... Will it ever end?
Today's my 25th birthday. I pictured a birthday celebration with Youngbae. I stranded myself in my room, just waiting for his call.
But lunch passed.
Dinner passed.
And soon, it was dark. He still didn't call.
Then at 2am...
" Hello?" I answered eagerly.
" Come outside. " he said.
" Youngbae..." I called out.
" Here, take this..." he said.
Again, he handed me a doll.
" What's this? " I asked.
" I did not give this to you yesterday. So I'm giving it to you now. " he said and started to leave.
" Wait..." I said.
" Do you know what today is? " I added.
" Today? Huhh?" he questioned.
Maybe I was just another guy.
I thought he'd at least remember my birthday.
" Wait... Tell me, tell me that you love me..." I pleaded.
" What..?" he asked.
" I don't want to say I love someone so easily..." he added.
" If you are so desperate, then go find someone else. " he finally said.
That's what he said before running off.
My legs felt numb and I collapsed.
I felt that maybe he isn't the right person for me...
After that day, I strand
