"Remember that place?" You looked at Sanghyuk as he stuffed his hands inside his pockets, smiling at the far amusement park with a smile on his face. You nodded slightly and sighed, following his movements as the both of you started walking towards it. "It was the first place we went to back when we were still together. And that was 12 years ago. Damn, it's still alive!" You let out a soft laugh and he took your hand. "Let's be together again for this night and enjoy it while we can, shall we?"   No matter what you do, you couldn't open your mouth to say something and just nodded, letting him drag you away. At the moment you were worrying on two things: one, your small but happy family and two, Hyuk just showed up with his own family that morning and suddenly asked you to chill an hour ago. You wouldn't want Taekwoon, your husband, and Taehyung, your boy, to think wrongly when they see you holding hands with Hyuk. You know to yourself that you don't like Sangyuk that way, not when it was already 12 years ago.   He dragged you to the cotton candy station and bought two, a pink and a blue and gave the latter to you, which was weird. But then, it has always been like this because he likes the color pink. He took your hand again and started taking pictures like the 21-year-old you knew and pulled you in for a snap. A toothy smile replaced the line on your face followed by a laugh and Sanghyuk joined in.   "How's hyung?" He asked. You closed your eyes for a moment and nodded, telling him the both of you are doing fine. Jung Taekwoon became the love of your life after 3 years of breaking up with Sanghyuk. You met him in your job in another country, and he helped you settle in until the both of you clicked. You got married at the age of 30, him 31 and moved back to Korea and then Jung Taehyung was born a year after.   It was when Taekwoon got a promotion from his job and the both of you decided to celebrate his success with some of your friends and his friends. You didn't know Sanghyuk was one of his friends. And that was when you realized you married his best friend.   "He's great. He's actually the CEO of the company he worked for several years." You weren't boasting, you were very proud of your husband. Sanghyuk smiled and nodded, becoming silent and you gulped nervously. "H-How about you? How's your wife?"   "Pregnant." Your eyes widened slightly. "It's our 3rd kid already but it's not yet decided if it's a boy or a girl."   "How old is your eldest?"   "They're twins and they're almost turning 5."   "I see."   "How about... Is he Taehyung?"   "Yes."   "How old is he?"   "He's almost 4 years old."   "He's a great kid." You smiled at that and complimented his twins too. "But I wonder how will it look like if you and I are husband and wife you know?"   "Sanghyuk..." You frowned. He laughed and shook his head. "We talked about this."   "I know, but it kills me to know. I don't like you that that way again, just like you don't like me that way either. We're equal. But aren't you curious?"   "I am. But I don't want anything like that to get in the way of my family and yours." Sanghyuk thought about it and finally nodded. "Wanna go to the saddest place ever?"   "Caught." He raised his hands in the air and the both of you laughed, sprinting to where your feet might take you.     ~•~     "Honey, I'm home." You placed your coat on the coffee table with your keys and wallet, walking slowly towards Taehyung's room and peeked inside. The little boy was sleeping nibbling his thumb, while Taekwoon was lying beside him with his hand resting on the boy's tummy. You tiptoed towards your husband and caressed his hair. He opened his eyes and took your hand on his, standing up and leading you outside.   "How was your night with Hyuk?"   "It was fine. We had fun." He smiled and kissed you on the lip, pulling you close. You circled your arms on Taekwoon's neck and he placed his chin on your shoulder. "I love you so much Jung Taekwoon."   "I love you too." He sighed and the both of you went inside your bedroom. "I know it's been years but can you tell me Hyuk and your story?" You threw a pillow at his face and his laugh resonated in the room. That didn't stop him from pestering you so you gave up and took all your left memories with Sanghyuk and sat beside Taekwoon. He circled an arm on your waist and you leaned in close. "Where do we start?"   "Well, we went to the amusement park today. Where we had our first date ever so we will start from the-"   "I want to know how the both of you met." You could only sigh.   "What are you planning Taekwoon?"   "I promise I won't be jealous or stupid after all of this. He's still my best friend and haven't the both of you moved on? Think about this as an unforgettable part of your life."   "It is unforgettable..." You mumbled and he smiled, nudging you to continue the story. "Fine. Don't start whining like a kid on how jealous you are after-"   "Okay, okay, I promise!"   "Uhh... Yewon?"   "Yeah?" You nibbled on your pencil's eraser. You were currently with your best friend in the university library reviewing for the upcoming final exams. She poked you with a pen and you looked up. "What's up?"   "Someone wants me to give this to you." She slid a small pink envelope towards you and you picked it up curiously.    "What is it?"   "I don't know. He asked me not to open it." She folded her arms on the table and leaned in, staring hard at the small thing held by your hands. You opened it slowly, your heartbeat quickening and achingly drumming on your chest. Once you successfully opened the envelope you unfolded the piece of pink paper and scanned the written letters. "What is it?"   Hi Yewon,        You probably already know what this is just by seeing the color of the envelope. But still, I've been hiding this for a month already and since February is almost near, I just wanted to tell you that I like you. I know this is too much for a college student but I have never liked someone before. No, I'm not a nerd, or worse gay but you're the only person who has caught my eye. I know it's too much to ask since you don't know me but I hope you can like me back. I want us to meet, face to face, at the end of the week if you don't mind. At the university library, history section. I hope to see you soon!   "It's not what I think it is, is it?" You nodded and your best friend gave you a slap on the shoulder. "I'm not allowed to tell but do you have a guess?"   "He didn't state his name. But he wants me to meet him on Friday."   "You have to go!" She held both of your hands and widened her eyes. "This might be your chance with love!"   "I don't know, okay? This might be a prank or something."   "Dude, I promise you this won't go to waste!" She raised her hands and winked at you. "You won't regret it, ever!"     It was already the Friday of the week and you were inside the university
