Chapter 11

It was a normal and sunny day but it was still cold, the snow slowly melting from the sun. People were walking back and forth, from one place to another. Mir was at home staring outside from his window seat; he was there reading a book about some romantic couple that loves each other so much - and even thought he was reading it he couldn’t forget about that day his best friend confessed to him. It was his first kiss and it felt really weird, not only that but he knew that he doesn’t have that kind of feelings for him.

Mir was observing everything, the book lying on his legs as his hand was clutching it hard. His thoughts were interrupted at the sound of phone vibrating, he sighed, he moved the book and placed it on one of the mini pillows there; he stood up and walked slowly towards his desk. The phone vibrated until it stopped. Mir looked at the ID and it showed to be Youngjae, he released a shaky breath as he thought it would be Cheondung – but it was not.

The phone vibrated again and Mir picked it.

“HYUNGGG, I HEARD THE NEWS, CONGRATULATIONS.” Youngjae screamed on the other side of the phone.

“Jae please come down a bit. And what are you talking about? Why are you congratulating me?” Mir asked confused.

“About you relationship with Cheondung hyung, what do you think I’m talking about?”

“Jae I think you got it all wrong.” Mir said as he again sat at the window seat, the thoughts of Cheondung again passed in his mind.

“But what are you talking about hyung. Cheondung said that he confessed to you.” This time Daehyun talked, as Mir knew that the other will be always with him, they were like twins – but they aren’t. Mir chuckled in his head and walked straight to his previous seat, he placed his head on the window for support as he looked outside again and his eyes were already wet.

“Yeah, he confessed. But I think you got it all wrong – he confessed but I didn’t say anything, I-…” How should I say this to them? “… I run away.” Mir sighed feeling a little guilty for that, but he knew it was his only choice or he wouldn’t be able to say anything.

“Why?”  Both said together, voices gone away.

“After he kissed me…”

“HE WHAT???”

“Will you listen to me?” Mir said voice angry, the boys already quiet. “He kissed me but I didn’t respond it I was really shocked. After he broke the kiss, I said that I wanted to go to the bathroom – actually I lied. When I was out of sight I paid for our stuffs and run away. I know it was stupid, but I don’t love him like that – I consider him as my best friend that’s all. I know you are disappointed right now, but it was the best I can do.” Mir explained himself as tears ran down his face, he could hear gasps coming from the other line, but he couldn’t care less.

“I’m sorry hyung, we rushed into conclusions. He said that he confessed to you, but he didn’t say anything about what happened next. He even didn’t look like he was about to cry, he was happy.” Youngjae said.

“He was pretending, I know him for years he can’t hide his feelings well… well not in front of me
