AUTOR POV.

Beomgyu waited nervously in front of the entertainment for which Yeonjun was working at the moment, who was supposed to get off work in a few minutes. He accidentally came half an hour earlier and had been waiting here for a while like a creep, but he was scared and nervous about the conversation.

The answer to that was clear, but it wasn't how his best friend would react to his declaration of love. The fact that they had to distance themselves from each other was also clear to Beomgyu, otherwise he could not conclude.
For how long, however, was not clear.

Beomgyu was pulled out of his thoughts when his best friend came out of the entertainment and hugged him in greeting.
„Fortunately, Hyunjin didn't catch me, otherwise it would probably have taken forever again"
sighed the younger one and noticed the older's cheeks, red from the cold.

„Did you stand here long?" He asked.
However, Beomgyu said no directly because he knew Yeonjun would only worry and would drag the matter unnecessarily.

„Let's walk a bit." Beomgyu replied, began to walk ahead with his hands in his pockets and sighed softly. His best friend, who was worried about his behavior and serious nature, followed him.

„What did you want to talk to me about?"

Beomgyu looked at the floor, noticed how a lump formed in his throat. However, he tried his best not to be noticed and to keep the facial expressions as neutral as before.

„I love you Yeonjun. Not as a best friend, but in a romantic way and that for many years. I'm sorry. I really tried to forget you and see in you only as my best friend, but it didn't work out.
That's why I wanted to create clarity from now on, even if I'm already aware of the answer so that I can finally conclude and get over you. Soobin knows about it and gave me his permission for this because I didn't want to do it behind his back and avoid unnecessary stress and renewed misunderstandings."

Beomgyu looked at the floor as he said that.
He noticed how the lump in his throat widened and had the feeling that he was going to suffocate. His heart ached with every word that left his mouth and got a stomachache.

Love was not fair, at least not to him.

Yeonjun was speechless at what he just heard. Never in his life would he have thought that Beomgyu, his best friend, felt more for him.
At the same time, he felt guilty because Beomvyu had listen for years how much Yeonjum raved about someone else or had problems because of the person.

Before Yeonjun could reply, however, Beomgyu turned him in a direction where someone was waiting for him and watching both of them.

„I don't want pity on your side or any words that should cheer me up, so I asked Soobin if he could pick you up as soon as I'm done." Beomgyu smiled slightly and pushed him a little in his direction.

„Please focus on you, I'm fine and better now that you know. I will get in touch as soon as I realize that my feelings for you are waning and I can really look at you as a best friend. Because losing you because of stupid feelings would not be nice, for both of us and I don't want to be the reason that your relationship is in crisis again. Good luck to both of you." Beomgyu smiled and looked at Soobin to bow a little before him than thanks to the fact that he could confess to him and went in the other direction.

With each step the Beomgyu ran, he noticed how the lump in his throat enlarged and warm tears made their way down. However, Beomgyu was proud of himself that he had finally told Yeonjun and now it was time to conclude.

Maybe someone had been waiting for him for years in the same hope that Beomgyu had been waiting for Yeonjun.

Yeonjun noticed how tears came to his eyes and was then taken in his arms by his friend.

It's not your fault and I hope you don't blame yourself or guilt that you didn't notice how Beomgyu feels about you. Not even I noticed it and he was there for me every day." sighed Soobin, stroked the head of the younger and looked in the direction in which Beomgyu was still standing a few minutes ago.

"Beomgyu had hinted at it to me once recently and I didn't notice it. If I had known, we would have found a solution... now he is all alone and sad because of me."

"It's not your fault that you don't feel anything for him. Just as little as he feels anything for you. Love comes and goes, in some cases without a happy ending like in his. But I'm sure someone will come soon who is there for him and give him back the love he deserves." said Soobin and kissed a tear away from his boyfriend, who nodded understandingly and sighed.

„Let's do something that distracts you and makes you think differently. Beomgyu needs his peace to be able to heal. If he needs contact with you he text you."

Yeonjun nodded understandingly, then looked into the eyes of his boyfriend who looked at him full of love and affection. He was glad that they found each other again and allowed his best friend, as well as supported him to confess his love to be able to move on. It showed him how much confidence he had in both of them.

Soobin took the younger's hand in his and began to walk in the other direction so that they would not run across Beomgyu's path.

„Something in mind that could make you think differently?" He asked Yeonjun, who was thinking about the question.

„Cuddling with you?" Yeonjun asked, looking at his friend with wide eyes, who laughed softly.
„Well that's something I could never say no"

Yeonjun also laughed lightly, at least until the news of the convenience store caught their eyes and both stared with their mouths open.
