@vexidoxx: pov : From the very beginning, you both kept using the same word. Friends. It sounded safe. Neutral. Like a boundary drawn with a thin line that neither of you had the courage to cross. You repeated it more often, as if trying to convince yourself. Jungwon said it calmly, but each time a little quieter. On the surface, everything looked normal. Laughter during shared meals, small arguments over trivial things, accidental encounters in hallways. Only you knew that every time he walked into a room, your eyes automatically searched for him. And they always found him. You realized it one evening. You were sitting in a larger group, conversations blending together, someone laughing too loudly. But instead of listening, you were watching Jungwon from across the room. The way he nodded. The way he adjusted the sleeve of his hoodie. The way he looked up for a moment—straight at you. And then both of you looked away. "It's nothing," you told yourself. Friends do that. Right? The problem was that you argued more and more often. About things that didn't matter. About the tone of someone's voice. About a glance. About why he disappeared without a word again, or why you pretended not to notice. "Why do you always make such a big deal out of it?" Jungwon asked one day, irritated. "Because you never say what you're really thinking." "And you do?" "At least I try!" Silence fell. Too long. Too heavy. "We're just friends, aren't we?" he finally said, as if trying to reassure both of you. That word hurt more than you expected. Because friends don't feel their hearts race when the other person gets too close. Friends don't remember every little gesture. Friends don't wonder what a touch would feel like when it has never happened. And yet both of you kept pretending everything was fine. Until you caught his gaze across the room again. This time, he wasn't the first to look away. He stared at you longer, more intensely, as if fighting with himself. As if he knew exactly what you knew—that the line between "friends" had blurred a long time ago. "Y/N..." he began when the two of you were finally alone. "Don't say it." "Say what?" "That word." Jungwon swallowed. "What if we're wrong?" "About what?" "About pretending that nothing is happening." The silence between you wasn't ordinary anymore. It wasn't that familiar, comfortable silence that exists between people who know each other well. It was tense. Fragile. Like something that could shatter with a single wrong word. He was looking at you. Not looking away. Not running. And that was new. "So?" he asked quietly. Your heart was beating too fast. "So what?" you replied, even though you knew exactly what he meant. He took a step closer. "Tell me I'm wrong." You froze. "Jungwon..." "Tell me it's nothing." Another step. He was too close. "Tell me you look at me the same way you look at everyone else." Silence. You didn't say it. You couldn't. His breath was close enough to feel. "Exactly..." he whispered. Your hands clenched slightly. "This ruins everything," you whispered back. "No." "It does." "It only changes things." You looked at him. "What if I don't want things to change?" He fell silent for a moment. "Then why didn't you leave?" Silence. Because he was right. You could have backed away. You could have kept pretending. You could have returned to that thin, safe line. But you stayed. "Because..." you began, but your voice trembled. You pressed your lips together. "Because?" he repeated softly. You looked up. "Because I can't." That was enough. You could see it in his eyes. Relief. Fear. Something else. "Neither can I," he said. And suddenly everything felt too real. Too close. Too intense. "This is a bad idea," you added quickly, as if trying to save yourself. "Maybe." "We could ruin everything." "We could." "We could lose what we have." Silence. "What do we have?" he asked quietly. You didn't answer. Because suddenly... that word didn't fit anymore. Friends. Not anymore. "I don't know..." you whispered. He took one final step. Now only inches separated you. [comsec+++] #JUNGWON #govirall #enhypen
