bad boy

“…”
It was a moment where I felt truly foolish for having briefly believed and hoped for Kim Hyun-soo's decision not to date. Judging from our conversation, Kim Tae-hyung was only slightly less receptive, but it was the final stage of a fling. It wouldn't have been surprising if they were dating soon.
“You bad boy…”
Why did I so firmly believe that this time would be different? After all, it was Kim Taehyung. Seriously, I'm also a fucking idiot. I was angry at myself and let out a hollow laugh. It was so annoying that I thought I was going crazy, that we were in a relationship where you shouldn't expect anything from me, that I was your most precious friend, but when you really needed me, you were with another woman. It was the moment when I reached the end of my long, unrequited love.
“I really don’t like you anymore.”
I returned to my room, picking up the perfume I'd spent weeks agonizing over, talking in a quiet room where no one could hear. And then, before I knew it, I fell into a deep sleep.

“Hey, Yeoju Kim.”
“Hmm…”
“Hey, wake up. I’m home.”
“…Oh, when did I fall asleep?”
“No matter how many times I called, you still didn’t recognize me. You must be really tired.”
“Yeah… Did you do well on the CSAT?”
“It was easier than I thought…? The answer was obvious.”
“Ha… If it was easy for you, it must have been a total test.”
“I see. It doesn’t matter. I hit it without regrets.”
“…Yeah. I guess so.”
“You’re annoyed with me.”
“There’s no such thing.”
“I know. Why don’t I know you?”
“There really isn’t any…”
“Really? Then let’s go.”
“Where are you going?”
“Have you already forgotten? We were supposed to hang out after the CSAT.”
“……”
I was secretly happy to see Kim Taehyung wake me up from my sleep at the desk with a bright smile, but as I thought about the KakaoTalk message I had with Kim Hyunsoo earlier, I was struck by the fact that it was my own feelings.
“Senior Kim Hyun-soo.”
“Why is Kim Hyun-soo here?”
“Didn’t we plan to go see a movie after the CSAT?”
“……”
“…I saw your KakaoTalk PC screen while I was cleaning earlier. It wasn’t intentional.”
“I refused.”
"…? why?"
“Why, why? I decided to play with you.”
Strictly speaking, since we had a prior engagement, it would have been right to reject Senior Kim Hyun-soo's promise, even if it was just as a friendship. But I don't know what's so great about that. Just a few hours ago, all the determination and resolve I had to not like you crumbled in an instant. And I became a fool again. A fool who knew it would never work out, yet couldn't give up.

“The days we have to live together are numbered.”
“…I see.”
“It’s a shame. Living with you was fun.”
“Oh, I… I was bored.”
“I thought about it…”
“?”
“I think I liked you when I was in elementary school.”
“……?”
“So when you said you hated me… I think I was really shocked and hurt. At that time, I didn’t even know if Kim Taehyung liked you.”
“It’s an honor. I didn’t know that the popular guy Kim Taehyung liked me.”
“Did you ever like me in elementary school? Not even once? Hahaha.”
It was a joke I'd just laughed off, but the person saying it was Kim Taehyung. I couldn't bring myself to laugh. That was the beginning of this long, unrequited love. The reason I like you so much now is because of me back then.
“…….”
“Oh, tell me lol. It’s still a baby anyway.”
Because I knew that there was no emotion in your words,
I couldn't quite answer that question.
