Your heart is racing. It should be an amazing feeling, but you hate it. You do not appreciate it, because your heart is beating so fast just because of him. Him â your best friend Leo.You donât wanna be in love alone. Itâs not the first time you fall for someone, but he not for you. The last time Leo helped me through this. Not with words â he is not someone who talks much. More his actions and his smile. His smile, so beautiful.
You stroke over the tiny paper. You were holding a photo album.
Your hands turned slowly each paper and you carefully looked at the photos. Sometimes you smiled. On many pictures where your family and you on and on others were Leo and you. You two knew each other since preschool. His house was next to yours.
A small laugh came out of my mouth. Leo and I dressed as frogs for a preschool performance.
Tears were crushing down. I was shocked about emotional outburst.
âWhy am I crying?â, you said while you whisked your tears with your sleeve away.
âWhy am I so emotional today? I have to go out. Take a walkâŠâ, thatâs for the best you thought and put the photo album away.
Stepping outside the house was actually a good idea, but your thoughts were still around him.
Since months he does not go you out of your mind. But since 2 weeks everything got extreme. The desire to be his girlfriend and the desire of hugging him and kiss him was to big to handle. Since the desire grow you broke up the contact. You did not call him or meet him. Leo actually tried to call you every day. He ones stood behind your front door, but you pretend to that you went out.
Itâs not fair of you towards him, but you cannot handle these feelings.
You made your way towards the park, but you suddenly stopped and watched two kids standing at the front gate of the park.
It was a boy and a girl. The girl had shoulder long black hair and her front tooth was missed, she wore a yellow dress and milk white skin. The small boy was wearing red pants and a white shirt, his bangs were hanging up into his face. These two kids looked adorable. You smiled and wanted to pass by, but then you heard there conversation.
âGive a pinky promise on it!â
The boy took the girls hand and made a pinky promise with her.
âDo you see? I promise to be always your friend!â
Again. Tears were falling down. Memories flashed back and you saw Leo and you standing in your familys garden.
âPromise?â âPromise!â
Your feet were faster then your mind and you saw yourself running to Leoâs dorm. Tears were still falling down and they will not stop. You promised him to be his friend forever and now you broke it because of your stupid feelings.
You were cursing in your mind for being so disloyal piece of asshole friend. Lights keeps turning red and they made you stop. Looking around, searching for something. You wanted to see him. You want to confess to him. The body of yours walked towards a taxi and drove with it to Leoâs dorm.
Without even thinking you pressed the doorbell. The door opened and you went to the escalator. Counting every floor, mumbling that all this took so long. Finally.
You did not walked up in a normal tempo â no you were running to the front door. Hitting the doorbell and the beat against the door. Actually it took only 5 seconds to open the door, but these 5 seconds felt so long.
The confused face of Hakyeon stared at you.
â_______, what are you doing here?â
You passed by him and walked into the living room. âLeo! Leo!â
Hakyeon closed the door and followed you into the living room. A confused Ravi stared from the couch to you and Hongbin raised his eyebrows.
Without even saying hello to the guys you were yelling after Leo.
With small steps and Leo came out of his room and he stared at you confused like the others.
Tears came up again, seeing him after two weeks. This were actually longer then it was. It felt like years. Leo took you without a hesitation into his embrace.
âWhy do you cry?â, he finally asked.
âBecause I donât wanna be in love alone.â
You pushed Leo a bit away from you and looked into his eyes.
âWe promised to be friends forever? Didnât we?â
âNaeâŠâ
âBut I broke it. I broke it, because I was scared to confront you with my feelings towards you. I was being selfish. I was to scared that our friendship would not be the same again, but acting like this⊠I realized that this was stupider and I broke your promise with this too. I like you. No⊠I love you.â
You stepped back. You were not ready to see his facial expression.
âI know that this is a one sided love, but I-â
You looked up. Leoâs face was warm and he had his adorable and precious smile on his face.
âWho said that itâs a one sided love?â, he said again.
You did not realized it till you were again in his embrace. You went towards him and threw your arms around his neck. He felt so warm and smelled so good.
Again you pushed his body away from you and took his hand. Your hand gestured to make a pinky promise.
âPromise me to stay by my side forever. Promise?â
A day later, but yeah... I am busy too :D
