"You really came!" I hugged him tightly with a bright grin on my face

I couldn't believe that he took time of to come and congratulate me again

"Woa woa calm down girl, you are suffocating me" he said as he laughed , i chuckled as i puched him slightly before letting go

" and you say you dont see me as a man" he smirked making me chuckle, i actually got embarrassed because that sentence was no longer true but i didnt want him to notice my blush

" Thank you for the flowers and gift and even the album oppa " i smiled as we were holding hands
"And i wont forget to tease you i swear i laughed to tears at the pictures, when did you take all of em? And this is why i am the man in this relationship *laugh* you take all the girl roles from me" i laughed as i saw him controlling his laugh with a glare at me probably acting upset for calling him the girl

I find myself liking oppa slowly, i think i will be wearing the ring soon.

"You sometimes make me wonder why I started liking you even " he sighed before shaking his head with a chuckle

" maybe because i am such a goddess?" I beamed all proud of myself making him roll his eyes

He opened his mouth to speak but a voice stopped us

My whole body tensed as i heard the voice behind me i could see Myungsoo oppa also turned cold when he saw him as he let go of my hand before looking back at me and smiled as a sign for me that it was okay to turn around, that he was fine with it

As i slowly turned around i felt my hands shaking out of stress, i faked a smile as i rubbed the back of my head

"Hey.. oppa
How come you are here..?" I asked awkwardly as my voice stuttered, his gazez made me confused

" can we talk? Alone..?" He said with a smile, i looked at his hands to see a bouquet of pink flowers with a bag probably has gift in

*so he didn't forget today is my birthday* a relief feeling got into me.

If it was before i would go to talk to him without any thoughts but i couldnt help but feel upset over leaving oppa for talking to him when myungsoo oppa made time for me despite all his busy schedules.

I looked behind to ask if it was k he said it was fine that he would wait for me , but i still felt like he wasnt fine with it and it would be harsh to do that to him but i still did because i wanted to hear taemin oppa too so i did an apologetic smile and told him i will be back in 5minutes
.
.
" so.. what is it oppa?" I asked trying to sound as normal as possible with a smile

"I... um..." he stuttered everytime he opened his mouth to talk which was quiet cute to see him like that he relaxed a bit when he saw me chuckling as he smiled rubbing the back of his head

" i am sorry this is my first time doing it" he sighed before looking up to me with a smile

" happy birthday Naeun, i hope your life be filled with joy and happiness" he smiled with a loving eyes as he gave me the bouquet and the gift happiness filled me. This was the first time he congratulated me for my birthday

" thank you oppa it means alot to me!
Should i open it now?" I grinned as i grabbed the gift to open it , my eyes widened when i saw the  necklace, i could feel that it was an expensive one and it didnt just mean a friendship gift so i looked up to meet oppa's gaze

"Oppa..."

"The only genuine word in the text i sent you this morning was that i truly wished you happiness and joy and was happy for you if you were happy.." he stopped for a moment said as his gaze never left mine 
" I didn't mean i was happy you started dating myungsoo.. i was nearly having a heart attack when i saw the news ..
Naeun i've liked you since we were in wgm and i never got over you since then. When I rejected you it wasn't because i didnt like you" he said sincerely before looking down with a sigh

" then why did you do it"i couldnt help but ask, if he liked me also why did he do it?

" because i wasnt brave. I was scared of my future if i dated...it would have been gone.. you could say i was selfish.. " i felt sadness and regret in his eyes, i couldn't help but feel my thoughts going to myungsoo oppa. It was a risk for him too but he still continued to be with me during everything. Even when we were caught in a rumor he never really stopped meeting me

" i love you Naeun, i am no longer scared of articles. I cant see you with other guys.. i felt my heart broken when i saw the news of you two dating. I thought i would act like i am happy for you so i could still be able to see and talk to you but i couldnt do it.. kibum hyun said eunji nuna told him you guys are not dating... is there a chance for us? If there is i would do my best for you . I will be with you always, i promise." He said with a sad smile his words made me tear up

3.5 years of waiting and i was clueless he also felt the same.. if it was before i would hug him and say yes without thinking twice but somehow my heart and mind was thinking of Myungsoo oppa and told me i was a witch for leaving him there.

I wanted to go and cry in his embrace, it was weird because i shouldn't be thinking of Myungsoo oppa now, when taemin oppa is just infront of me confessing.

"I am waiting.." taemin oppa smiled as he looked at me, my whole body tensed as i thought of myungsoo oppa and looked back at taemin oppa

" oppa i never forgot about you during all these time also " i said looking down as i saw him smile probably expecting a yes

" but i think its too late for us

, i want to leave it all as a good memory" i said as i looked up gaining some courage. His eyes was confused and hurt

" but why? Eunji nuna said you still like me and i  heard you are not dating myungsoo also... why then?" He asked confused and a disappointed feeling came to me

"thats the reason.. you wouldn't have confessed if eunji unnie didnt talk with kibum oppa.. i cant help but feel like you would never be able to fight for me if we ever get into a situation. And you came too late oppa.. its true i still loved you but that love ended  and i want to leave it as  a good memory" i smiled through my tear, he was out of words and surprised

" i cant accept the necklace if it was a confession gift , thanks for coming tonight oppa. "

"I need to go myungsoo oppa is waiting for me "i smiled as i gave the gift back to him  he was frozen but i didnt care anymore

and with the last glance and a thank you smile i left to oppa

I would never think of anyone but taemin oppa if i was with taemin. But the whole time i was talking with him i was thinking of Myungsoo oppa and that made me get to the fact that oppa was right

Deep down i was feeling the same toward myungsoo oppa , i was just clueless.
