[Beomgyu POV]

I finally decided to confront Taehyun. I had a crush on him for the last few years, I don't remember exactly when I started to like him.

I don't think much about him now, to be honest I never paid much attention to him ever. It was that I felt a few things and came to a point where I thought I'm crushing over him. He was just everywhere, and not gonna lie he's pleasing to the eyes.

Maybe it was mere attraction, infatuation.

There's a thing which happens when you start to like someone new, you start to underrate your older crush, you start to make yourself believe that what you have for them was nothing compared to what you have for the current one. Maybe that's what is happening with me? Or maybe I really like him more than I have ever liked any of my stupid crushes.

I accept that I like him. I like Huening Kai. I realised what I was missing. A part of myself. Something that completes me. Kai is that part, that someone that completes me.

Is it too early to feel like this? Am I mis-judging my feelings?

I don't know.  I know nothing but at the same time I know everything. I have always been an over-overthinker, I have imagined every tragic scenario that can happen after I confess to him. Although I know he likes me, I still can't believe that life has given me someone like him.

What if he's playing with me too? He's a Playboy after all. Well according to others he is. What if he's not serious and I'm misinterpreting his actions? There are so many what-ifs.

Lately I'm feeling guilty after the encounter I had with Taehyun. I was feeling bad that somehow I was the one who gave him hope. A hope of us together and now I am the one backing out, ignoring him. He doesn't deserve this stupid ignorance of mine.

So here I am in the park waiting for Taehyun to come and then I'll clear and end this awkwardness with good meaning.

Someone tapped on my shoulder, I looked up to him. Taehyun is standing up there with his glory. He is handsome but I have my eyes for a particular boy now.

"Hey." I said, he replied to me and came to sit beside me on the bench.

"Lake is beautiful isn't it?" I asked after a few minutes of silence. I suck at making conversations. Damn my introvert self. Why the hell am I so nervous? God!!! Where was I dying when you were distributing confidence? That's so unfair I didn't get the correct share of confidence I deserve.

"No need to be nervous, just say it." He directly said. Why does he have to be so smart?

"I'm sorry." I whispered while fiddling with my watch.

"Don't be. It's making me feel that you regret liking me." He nonchalantly said but I know how sad he must be feeling from inside.

"I don't! Why would I? Did you ever disrespect me or my feelings? You never did. Maybe we liked each other at the wrong time. When I liked you, you didn't know about it and when you finally got to know, I was already falling for someone else." I tried to be more confident and clear with my words. I don't want him to take any of my words wrongly and get hurt.

"You are right. Time didn't work out for us." He agreed and I'm really thankful he is understanding.

It's like the trope "Right person wrong time."

"So is this our ending?" He asked. I didn't answer for a few minutes because I didn't know how to answer that. But after a few seconds, I spoke.

"It's rather a start I would say." I turned to look at him to find he was already looking at me.

"Yeah." He mumbled, then his gaze went back to the beautiful sunset in front of us.

"So...it's a start, a beginning. Hope this time we don't end up like this. Hope this time, time works for both of us." He said.

"Time never works in our favour, never will. We will have to make efforts according to it. Live and try at the moment without unnecessarily worrying what bad things can happen in future." I vigorously said.

"Wow! Kai won in life huh! You are just amazing." He laughed, making me chuckle.

He stood up, so did I.

"Hey I'm Kang Taehyun and you?" I looked at him for few seconds than did what he did

"Nice to meet you Taehyun, I am Choi Beomgyu. I'm hope we become good friends." I said with a grin.

He then shook my hands and said
"A new beginning with a new friend." We both laughed together.

It's the beginning of us as friends. We have known each other for years but never knew each other as a person properly. He was first my best friend's little brother then my crush. Same goes to him, I was always his Elder sister's best friend and then crush. But this time we are becoming friends as our real selves, without someone else to tag over us.

We have far to go. Afterall Thursday's Child has far to go.
