A/N: For my best friend, I'm waiting to hear it from yourself. Because I just know the day will come eventually.
I’m afraid; the day when you leave me will finally come.
Thus I try my best to make you laugh happily.
I’m afraid; someday you will say that you don’t like me.
Thus I love to tease you, just to check your reaction.
I’m afraid; someday you will find somebody that is better than me
Someone that can cherish you more than I do,
Someone that mesmerized you without you even realize,
Someone that will replace my place beside you.
Each time I try to convince myself that you and I are really meant to be.
Each time people say that we’re completing each other; I feel butterflies tickling my stomach.
You don’t know, how much happiness that you give me just by accepting me to be on your side.
You don’t know, Siwan, you really have no idea.
How much I love you.
How jealous I am to see you with other guys.
How scared I am to lose you.
You really have no idea why I always seem cheerful.
I try my best not to shed tears…
…when the time you say that has come.
“Kwanghee-ah,” You approach me with a bright smile; and you circling your arm around me-something that you rarely do. I just know that you’re going to say something. Perhaps it’s something that I don’t want to hear.
“What’s wrong, Siwannie?” I take you to my embrace and drop a slight kiss on your cheek. As usual, you wipe it and hiss. “Stop it, Kwanghee-yah~”
“Kekekeke. I know you secretly like it.” I tease him. Have I told you that I’m madly in love with your annoyed face every time I tease you?
“I don’t!” You said, try to deny it. Or you really deny it?
“Aigoo uri Siwan~” I pinch his cheek and giggle. “So what are you going to tell me?”
You rub your cheek and blush. “Ah, that…” You pauses your sentence, your face turns red and you seem awkward to say.
My heart beats faster than usual, anxious and afraid that you will say something. Something that I know it will happen someday.
I bite my lips and try to comfort you. “Gwaenchana, why are you suddenly so tense? Yah, Siwannie, you promise that there won’t be any secret between us!!”
“True, but…” Your eyes stare at the floor with sudden interest. “Ah, ottoke…”
“Malhaebwa…” I said; heart secretly wishes that I won’t be in this kind of situation.
You take a deep breath and then smile. “Kwanghee-ah…” You look into my eyes.
“Yes?” Please don’t say it, my heart secretly scream.
You pauses your sentence again, for I don’t know how many seconds that my heart going to burst anytime soon.
“Yah…”
“I’m attached to Heechul now,” You continue and squeal happily. “Last night he confessed to me and I said yes!!!”
It’s come, it’s finally come.
“Do you know how happy I am when he kissed me and said that he loved me? Oh God Kwanghee, he said he likes me from the beginning we met.”
Funny, I always prepared for this day to come, but I don’t even know why my ears make themselves deaf. I pretend I hear nothing. My bright smiles slowly lose its shine.
“…he said that he thought we’re dating, that’s why he refrained himself to confess. Funny eh, Kwanghee-yah? He thought we’re dating…” You keep telling me your story. I force a smile.
“He must be misunderstood us.” I say, and you nod. I thought we’re dating too, Siwanie.
I don’t know for how long I’m listening to your story. I’m sorry dear, but for today I really hate your smile. Yes, I hate that smile I used to love it so much.
“Kwanghee-ah, do you listen to me?” You ask me with worried look. “Kwanghee…”
“Ah, sorry. Yeah, I listen to you.” I crack a smile and pinch your cheek like I always do. “Aiigooo congrats my Siwanie~”
I peck on your cheek and hug you. “Congratulation~ I know you have a crush on him since long time ago.”
“Thank you Kwanghee-ah, I’m so happy…” I can hear excitement in your voice.
I let go of your embrace and smile, a fake smile of course but you won’t notice. “Next time when you two will have your first date, you have to tell me okay!”
“Sure!” You nod and grin. “You will be the first person to know it.”
“Nice,” I reply. Nice and painful at the same time. “Ah, I got to go now, I have radio program.”
“Ah, right. Be careful on your way there, and thanks to listen to me.”
“No problem, I’m ready 24/7 for you.” I say in jokingly way, and you laugh.
“I’ll go now.” I said, secretly wish that you will stop me and scold me for lying to me. I have no schedule today. But you don’t.
“Ne, hwaiting on your work Kwanghee-ah~” You waves your hand until I disappear from your sight.
I know this day will finally come,
I know I should have prepare myself from hearing those words from your mouth
I know I have no chance ever since I caught up you’ve been staring at him every time we’re together
I know I should be happy for you and smile for your happiness, my best friend
But why this tears still coming even though I tell myself that I’m okay?
Maybe because…
….the day you finally say it crush the hope that I secretly built up until now?
The day you say that you love someone else is the day my heart dies.
