You and Jinwoo have been friends for a long time. You two met in high school when you were assigned to make a science project together. You didn't like him much at first because he was cold and kind of rude, but as the weeks went by you came to like him. So you started being friends, and soon enough you were pretty much inseparable. You followed him everywhere you went, he pretty much did the same.

When it was time for you two to start college, you decided it would be nice to get an apartment together, as neither of you wanted to live with strangers. And since you were always together you thought it was a good opportunity. And it was, until he got a girlfriend.

Jinwoo explained to you that they met at the cafe near your school and that she was working there until she moved to her dad's place in about a month, where she would be staying for a year as she needed to help him with important family stuff. And now suddenly she was his whole world and everything else, and mostly everyone else was put aside.

You were happy for him, you truly were, but at the same time you were also sad that he didn't spend time with you anymore. And not to mention she was sleeping over every night, and spending every weekend.

It went on like this for about three weeks: during the day both you and Jinwoo were busy with college, then when classes ended, you went back home and not even an hour later his girlfriend showed up. They would spend all of their time in his room laughing and being happy while you were alone trying to keep yourself busy. It was hard for you, because you had no time to ask Jinwoo to spend time with you instead of being with his girlfriend, and at the same time you felt it would go wrong if you asked him to spend time with you instead of her, because you knew she was going away for a long time in not even two weeks.

But today, while Jinwoo was driving the both of you home from college, he started talking about how his girlfriend had a week off of work before leaving, and he asked if it was ok with you for her to spend it at your apartment. You were uncomfortable to tell him you'd prefer not to, but at the same time you needed to let your feelings out as you've been bottling them up for way too long. So you went for it

''Well to be honest Jinwoo.. I'd prefer if she spent a couple days instead of a full week.. Because we haven't spent any time together in three weeks and it's been hard on me. And I don't have time to ask you otherwise because when we finish school she comes over and she's always there during the weekends..'' you took a shaky breath before adding ''and i need to spend time with you..''

Jinwoo looked at you as he stopped at a red light.

''I understand.. I've been wanting to spend time with you too and I realized I didn't split my time right, I'm sorry'' he said before looking back in front of him.

You were happy to hear those words, because you needed to hear them and have been needing to hear them for a while now.

''I don't want you to think I'm being selfish, but it's just that you're my best friend Jinwoo, and not being able to spend time with you hurts me''

He looked back at you for a split second before turning his head back forward as the light turned green. He didn't say anything but instead nodded. He kept driving and when he got home, you two walked inside your shared apartment and Jinwoo called his girlfriend. You went to the kitchen to start preapring dinner and didn't hear the conversation he was having with her, but you knew he was on the phone with her as you heard him say her name.

You kept cooking and brought the food to the living room as it was ready and found Jinwoo sitting on the couch playing one of his favorite video games.

''I told her I'd spent the evening with you'' he said while putting the controller away on the coffee table.

''That's nice of you, thank you''

Jinwoo smiled some and grabbed his plate, thanking you for preparing dinner. You two ate and talked, having fun like before which made you happy. You could feel something was off with Jinwoo, but you didn't know if it was because of you or not. As you finished eating, he received a notification from a text and as he read you could feel his mood go down even more.

''Jinwoo?''

He looked at you and hummed.

''Is everything okay?''

He sighed and put his phone away.

''Yeah.. It's just [girlfriend name].. She didn't react well to me telling her I'd spend time with you''

''Oh..'' you said, a wave of regret and guilt hitting you.

''She said that she's been wanting to spend time with me ever since this morning''

You felt even more guilty and looked down.

''I'm sorry.. It's my fault..''

Jinwoo looked at you and shook his head.

''No of course not, I'm the one that made the decision'' he said.

''But if I didn't ask this wouldn't have happened..''

Jinwoo shook his head again and reassured you that it was in no way your fault, which of course you knew but you couldn't help and feel guilty.

''She didn't have to react like this anyway'' he added.

You nodded and watched as he put his phone away again.

''Let's watch a movie? We can watch your favorite~'' he said, making you smile.

You grabbed a blanket and put it on you, staying where you were. You normally would've cuddled Jinwoo but with the situation you thought it was best not to.

''Why are you so far away? Come here'' he said while opening his arm to give you room.

You smiled and got closer to him, laying your head on his chest as he wrapped his arm around you. You put the blanket on him too as it was big enough for you two to share and watched as Jinwoo pressed play on the movie. You spent the evening as you normally would've and it made you happy. Because you finally had your best friend back.

Or so you thought. The next day, which was a saturday, you got up and made coffee as you usually would do. Jinwoo woke up not long after you and joined you in the kitchen to make himself a coffee. The two of you spent the afternoon together and you thought that with the talk you had yesterday that he would spend all weekend with you, but oh, how wrong you were. Around 4pm, his girlfriend came over. You were defeated. You were also sad. Because was all that talking from yesterday meaningless? Did he think spending one day with you was enough? You had all those questions in your mind and you couldn't find an answer to it. And neither could you ask for one as she was around. But you figured that Jinwoo knew better and that she was only gonna spend a few days, and that then he'd spend a few with you before she came back for the remaining days before leaving to her dad's.

3 days went by and she was still here. You were desperate to ask Jinwoo if she was gonna stay the week but never had the occasion. Until that day you were in the kitchen doing some dishes and he came to get snacks.

''Jinwoo?''

He hummed while searching the pantry for something to eat.

''Is she spending the week or not?''

''I don't know'' he said kind of on a rude tone.

You were a bit taken aback and added kind of silently.

''Oh, cause well as you know I'd like to spend time with you''

He grabbed his snack and walked off. You sighed to yourself, feeling like you ever talking about it was a bad idea. You should've just kept it to yourself and wait until she was gone for good.

The next day, you were surprised to see Jinwoo get out of his room and actually spend the afternoon with you. You two gamed together and had fun, it made you happy. And it was all you got.

This time 6 days went by, this was now her 11th day at your apartment and you couldn't take being pushed aside anymore. It got so bad that you were silently crying in your room as the two of them were laughing. You felt like you weren't wanted, because the only time you spent with him was when you told him, otherwise he would've stayed with her. And it was painful.

But later that evening, she left for good. You were still sad and in your room. You stopped crying but you felt like it could start back at any moment. And you were right, cause the tears started falling down your cheeks a few minutes later.

At first you were crying silently, but the sobs quickly followed. And as much as you tried to be silent, it didn't work. And Jinwoo heard. There was a knock at your door followed by his voice.

''(y/n)? are you okay?''

''Y-yeah, I'm fine'' you said in between two sobs.

Jinwoo knew you too well and knew you were lying.

''Come on, tell me please?''

''I'm fine Jinwoo'' you lied again, this time being able to control your sobbing.

You heard him sigh.

''I'll be in my room if you want to talk''

You considered not saying anything but the words were stronger than you.

''It's not that i don't want to talk, but it's not easy to talk about''

You could tell he was confused because he didn't say anything and you heard him take a couple steps to his room.

You laid down in bed and started crying even more, not even trying to hold back the sobs at this point. You cried under the blanket while hugging a plushie he got you for your birthday last year. Jinwoo couldn't stand to just hear you cry without doing anything and so he walked back to your room and opened the door without knocking. He walked to your bed and laid beside you, pulling you closer to him. You simply kept crying, and he stayed silent, knowing you'd open up if you wanted to.

''I just wanted to spend time with you Jinwoo..'' you said while crying. ''But instead she spent so many days here''

''She spent those days because she was gonna leave..'' he took a small break and continued ''you both are jealous of the other, it's hard on me you know''

You raised your head, getting a little mad. Did he really just say that? You pushed him away a bit and sat up, leaving the plushie on the bed.

''I'm not jealous of her Jinwoo, I'm just saying that for a month, even more, I was pushed away. I told you i wanted to spend time with you, you said the same so I thought we were on the same page and yet I was still pushed away. Do you know how sad it made me Jinwoo? I've never felt more alone than these past weeks''

You felt something, a new emotion. It was pain, but it felt different.

''I thought you'd be happy for me..'' he said while sitting up too.

''I am! That's not the issue''

There it was again, the same pain.

Why did you feel it? You were happy for him.. really...

''Then what's the issue?'' he asked.

''Did you not hear me speak a few seconds ago? I said I was sad and hurt to be pushed away and not being able to spend time with you. It doesn't have anything to do with me being jealous or not being happy for you''

You teared up again, but this time for a different reason. It was the same reason as the pain. You never realized it until now. But you had feelings for him.

''I'm sorry, I didn't think it was gonna make you feel like this''

You shook your head, not being able to let any words out. You couldn't believe you had feelings for him. Jinwoo looked at you and put a hand on your arm gently as he felt bad for making you feel like this.

''Look at me'' he said softly.

You did as he said and looked at him. The pain was showing in your eyes, and Jinwoo hated it. He especially hated it because it was his fault.

''I'll make it up to you, I promise'' he said.

You didn't say anything still. Jinwoo wiped your cheek as a new tear fell down and you looked at him.

''Do you want to cuddle..?'' he asked.

You nodded tiredly and watched as he laid back down. You laid beside him and grabbed the plushie back as Jinwoo wrapped his arm around you. You buried your head in chest and closed your eyes. Jinwoo puts a hand in your hair and softly plays with it to relax you, which worked like a wonder.

After a while of being like this, Jinwoo looked at you.

''Are you feeling better now?'' he asked.

You shook your head.

''Is there anything I can do to help?''

You shook your head again, which made him sigh.

''I know you're hiding something.. Can you tell me?''

''Even if I tell you Jinwoo it won't change anything''

''You don't know that, please..''

You sighed, looked at him, and said quietly.

''I love you, and you pushing me away made me realize it..''

Jinwoo stayed silent for a bit.

''See? I knew it wouldn't change anything''

''I'll fix this.. I promise I will'' he said.

You nodded, trusting him, even if you didn't know what he coud do to fix it.

But about two weeks later he came back with the solution. He asked if you two could talk and you agreed. You put your pc aside as Jinwoo sat on your bed, facing you.

''I broke up with [girlfriend name]''

You looked at him, a bit shocked as you weren't expecting it.

''I'm sorry..''

''No, don't be. She woudn't stop being jealous of you over no reason and I didn't like it so I broke up with her''

''Thank you for standing up for me..'' you said a bit sadly.

''I have to''

You looked at him as he said that.

''So now we can go back to what we had?'' you asked on the same sad tone as earlier.

''Well yes.. But I might have better'' Jinwoo said, which left you confused.

He noticed and smiled.

''Look, I've been thinking since we talked and what you told me made me realize thing. First that I really wasn't nice for pushing you away even after we talked, and second..'' he sighed and looked down for a few seconds before looking back at you ''Well.. I realized i have feelings for you too..''

You were too stunned to speak. And it took a few seconds before you were actually able to say words.

''But you were dating her..''

''And as bad as it sounds, I think I needed to date someone else to realize I liked you.. Because I mistook it for friendship'' he said, hoping you wouldn't get mad.

''It does sound bad.. But I understand, because I confused my love for friendship too..'' you said looking down.

Jinwoo took your hand and you looked back at him.

''So.. Do you want to go back to what we had or go for the other option?'' he asked.

You smiled.

''I wanna go for the other option''

Jinwoo smiled too and got closer before kissing you. You kissed him back and smiled, happy that it turned out the way it did.
