SHINee reaction to their best friend confessing their feelings
Hi cutie! I hope you won’t kill me when you’ll read, but I thought to write something realistic. Love ya,
- M.
These days you're trying to confess the truth, your feelings are becoming more and more overwhelming because you cannot express them freely. And that night looks like the perfect time, you two are on your own and you're enjoying a great dinner that you spent the afternoon preparing.
"Jinki.. Can I talk to you about something?"
He nods, enjoying every food that you have prepared with care, but without giving you his total attention.
"What would you think if a person close to you.. confess that she or he has feelings for you? "
Your question catches him unprepared, his thin-edged eyes widen slightly due to the surprise. He had never thought of it, but Jinki, knowing his personality, knows that he could ruin a serious moment. Especially if he doesn't reciprocate the feelings of the person in question.
"It depends, Y/N. If I also have feelings, I would be extremely relieved because I didn't have to take the first step.. "
"I would try to understand that person and above all not hurt his/her feelings," he admits seriously, laying the cutlery on the table and resting his elbows on the wood, "If this person feels something for me, its welfare comes first since I inevitably have to reject it. "
"What if that person was me?" Your voice almost a whisper and he, at first, thinks he heard wrong. But when you don't contradict what you just said, the panic begins to spread in him and his mind becomes completely blank. He has no idea what to say, especially because he never thought you could develop feelings for him.
"I understand on my own, you don't need to say anything."
"You can't expect a lightning reaction," he rises from the chair and starts to walk back and forth from the table to the kitchen window, preying on a thousand doubts, "when you, my best friend for almost seven years, confess indirectly that you feel something for me! "
"I had to write you small billboards so as to drown the shot?? I just did it, don't take it too seriously."
Jinki is simply afraid to lose you because he doesn't even know what his feelings are, but for the moment he's aware that he doesn't see you in different ways. You're his best friend and he can't pretend something that doesn't exist.
"Yes, I am and I still am your best friend even if I like you."
"Why me? Couldn't you choose Minho? "
And you snort, your broken heart was there but that small drop of happiness derived from the fact that he didn't seem to want to leave you anyway.
-I have to talk to you about something important! See you later, xoxo-
Your message was hunting Jonghyun from all morning. You did meet two days before, something special had happened in that little time frame? Or maybe something horrible, but he knew you wouldn't wait in that case. You were his shoulder on which to cry and he was yours for years now.
When you reach his home, your stomach is so tightened by the anxiety that you want to run away and hide for the rest of your life. You didn't schedule it, but you were tired of hiding your feelings.
"What's going on? You know I've been struggling to concentrate all day because of you?? "
"Hi to you, Jonghyun," you giggle, taking off your jacket and accepting the glass of wine that he was giving you, "it's good to see you."
Jonghyun can hear something different about you and looking at you, he's trying to figure out what. But the more he observes you, the more nothing special or particular appears.
"So??" He asks you, once seated on the couch, one next to the other while sipping the wine.
"You too, you know very well."
A little bitter laugh escapes from the lips and he ruffles his browns, confused by a sound so much off. What did he say wrong?
"No, not as a friend Jonghyun.. It's been a while since I realized it, but it's almost impossible not to fall for you. In a romantic sense, of course. "
The revelation completely disrupts the singer, who looks at you and feels a sense of suffocation in understanding to be the cause of your torments. As Jinki, he's sure at 50% not to have feelings for you, but the remaining 50 makes him doubt it. He would lie if he didn't admit that every now and then he imagined you two together, in a way different from the "best friends".
"Y/N, if I asked you out, a real date, would I be bad? Is that.. "
"You don't know what you feel, I know. And no, you wouldn't be bad, but I'm not sure I could handle it right. I know it could be a way to let you know if you could love me but.. You know I'll easily let my hopes rise. And in this case, it would just be a disaster. "
Jonghyun understands your reasoning and simply hugs you, mentally trying to find an alternative way to figure out his feelings.
You had promised to yourself not to reveal what you felt for him. It was a promise made a year ago and if even with some difficulties you were able to keep it.
You hadn't, however, planned to spit the secret during a fight.
"It's not my fault you're forgetful!"
"NO, MY ONLY FAULT IS TO LOVE YOU, YOU MORON!" You shout and the time is totally freezing, as well as your best friend.
That will observe you as if you had just revealed the next winner of MAMA (A/N: Lil Snake, lmao) without the voting period still started. His mouth is suddenly dry and he sits because that confession is completely unexpected.
Sighing you sit by his side, your head bent down while you look at your shoes. You don't know what to say and start to be afraid that he can get away since you're sure he doesn't feel anything about you.
"Bummie.." You sigh after a few minutes and feel his forehead against your shoulder, his heavy and thoughtful sighs. "I'm sorry Bummie."
"Almost a year," your hands tremble while you admit it and then you intertwine them on your laps, "I wasn't going to tell you, though."
Kibum hates himself because he has never noticed anything, he who is always so attentive to every detail and never lets anything escape his gaze. He raises his head and rests his hand under your chin, making you turn your head and your eyes finally meet.
"Because it's obvious that you're too much for me, Bummie."
"I want to disagree because this is a huge crap. Maybe it's the opposite, " he whispers, his face is getting closer to your so much that you can feel the softness of his lips touching your own, "it's you who are too much for anyone. But if you give me a chance... " he lets the phrase disperse, without complete it because he crashes lips against yours, molding his on your softness and starting to get lost in the emotions of that kiss. Licking your bottom lip, he smiles because you're breathless and your cheeks are purple, "I prove that I'm worthy to stand by your side no longer as a best friend, but rather as a boyfriend."
Minho has noticed your strange behavior for days. The way you avoid any kind of contact, which was necessary for both to be fine. Or as you always replied coldly to his every message or even avoid answering his calls. And he starts to be worried because he's clueless and wants to see if he said or did something that drove you away.
What he doesn't know is that you're simply trying to make those feelings disappear, because you're aware that revealing them would inevitably ruin your friendship.
"May I know what's happening?"
The cookbook with whom you're trying to hide your blush fails at its attempt and he rips it off your hands, showing your frustrated face and the nervousness that was devouring you from within.
"Y/N, you know that you can talk to me about everything? Tell me what's going on, I want to help you. "
"You can't do anything, not this time."
Minho hates not being able to help you and seeing you so defeated causes him a nuisance that cannot be quantified. Then he sits by your side, taking your hand and squeezing it among his. It's a pleasant feeling that he can again feel the warmth of your skin and Minho realizes that he was missing you more than he believed.
"I fell in love with you."
It wasn't the answer you hoped for, but it was what you were expecting. So your heart didn't break, your hopes weren't broken and your ego wasn't diminished. You were aware that Minho didn't see you like that, and you'd never blame him.
"Just, please.. I don't want to lose you as a best friend, you know? "
Minho is still shocked to be able to respond adequately and acts in the only way he knows. He hugs you, you hide your face against his buffed chest and the warmth of his arms soothes at least in part that fear was living with you for weeks.
"Whatever will happen, it's obvious that you won't lose me. Just that.. "
"Minho, I can handle it. The important thing is not to lose you, for no reason in the world."
"But I don't know what I feel for you."
To hear him say aloud after you had gathered all the courage you possessed and the willpower, it was strangely less painful than you had expected.
His smile is small and above all not happy. There's only confusion in his eyes and you can't help but feel guilty. Because you could shut up and just let the problem slip, but then you'd be a mess for the time to come.
"Taemin, don't think too much. They are just feelings, they can disappear. Okay?"
He looks at you, alienated from your words and trying to put clarity into his mind. But it's too full, the thoughts are too lumbering and he actually fails to hear what his heart is saying to him. "Stop with that face, it seems like someone is killing you, Tae," your laugh reassures him, but he fails to hear how fake it actually is. But you can't let him keep basking in the guilt trying to sort out what his feelings are.
But in the days to follow is he who cannot help but think. Think of you, how sincerity dripped from your every word, how your eyes were sad in spite you were smiling.
And slowly, he also begins to think that there is a difference between how he is when you're along with him and how he is when you're away from him. He feels miserable, every moment.
So without wasting time he runs to your home, where you're trying to study because you have an exam. But your studies have a short life because you find him on the door, panting and forced to rest at the jamb while taking huge breaths.
Your heart loses a few beats when you hear that phrase and you freeze on the spot, your eyes wide open and your breath trapped in your throat.
"Y/N!!!! Do you still love me? "
"Y-you know.. It's not that easy.. You can't delete similar feelings in a few weeks.. "
His lips collide with yours and the world literally stops. Also because of his impetus, his forehead has beaten against yours and a scream of pain has escaped from the lips of both.
"Sorry, but admit that this story is perfect to be told to our grandchildren!"
