I sat slouched over, leaning on the railings, waiting for Mo-ri's entrance to his match. I had been sitting here for hours. Way too long, I was going stir crazy in my seat.  fidgeting,  my eyes darted around the arena looking for my friend. I met Jin when I was a child, I lived next door to him, and I quickly became attached to him after he moved in by himself. I constantly came over and bothered him since I knew he was living alone despite saying otherwise. I eventually grew on him and we became inseparable best friends. I cooked for him, helped him study from time to time, kept him out trouble, gave him advice, consoled him when he was being too harsh on himself, and loved him. This was fine till I began to evolve my love for him from sisterly, to friendly, and now romantically. 

Its been like this for 4 years now, me following him around, supporting him, watching him grow and start to make more friends. It hurt watching him slowly outgrow me. It felt like a child forgetting their imaginary friend. I tried to engage myself in his life, I started to train my body and start fighting in hopes that me and Jin would have more to converse about. But the gap between us only grew more. We barley hung out anymore, he was always with Mira or Daewi. I tried to not get jealous and distracted myself by attending his matches in attempt to try and talk to him more. It did work, kinda of, he'd talk to me all excited about winning but would eventually ditch me to catch up to his team.

Which I guess is how I ended up walking home, on this rainy day, alone. Appartenly Jin's match was postponed so that he could stop Miras wedding. I knew the reason why but I couldnt help but feel jealous, angry, left out, and sad. He didn't even bother to tell me his change of plans and left you sitting there for hours while he was with them, with her. Unconciously bitter thoughts at my mind. "Why does he care about her so much? They just met, ive been with him for years." Gripping my fist I tried to shake the negative thoughts away but they just swarmed me even more.

"I shouldn't be angry with people I never even met..."

Suddenly, a strong impact knocked me onto my butt and I was brought back to reality to see man standing in front of me. He stared down at me silently, as did I before realizing what I did. "OH! im sorry sir I was just thinking too hard and I bumped into you." pushing myself up I bowed, my thick coily hair covering my embarrased expression. "When did the rain stop?" I thought to myself. "Its fine, are you okay? You dont look well."

Straightening out my back I looked back up, my eyes drawn into the mans dark orbs. "oh, uh, um im fine just hungry I guess haha.." with a small awkward laugh I rubbed the nape of my neck to try and ease the tension.

"Then would you like to get lunch, with me?"

Surprised, my eyes widened for a moment. "Yeah sure!" My mood completely doing a 180 at the mentioning of food I quickly perked up, amusing the man in front of me. "Say, mister, what's your name?"

"Han Dae-wi."

And that's when you and Dae-wi became friends. Almost instantly you two become close, you being comfortable enough to rant endlessly without feeling like you weren't being annoyed became something you loved about Dae-wi. And when you were being weird, whether it be making stupid faces, letting out demon noises, or suddenly climbing on him like a monkey he simply smiled. Being with Dae-wi cured your heartache and boring days, and you unashamedly began to forget about Mo-ri. Instead of cheering for him and going to the hyper-active boy's matches you instead went to Dae-wi's. It became a ritual to greet him from the sidelines with the conclusions of his fights with his favorite drink and a nice treat to congratulate him. In return, he patted your head  and gave you a charming smile with a quiet muttering of "Thank you (y/n)."

It was that day, at the end of Dae-Wi's match, he had lost, and the disappointment and anger was so clear on his face. Without fear, Mo-ri watched you run from your seat down to his friend and wrap your arms around him, hands running up and down his back in a comforting manner. "When did they get so close?" From beside him, Mira perked up, "About a couple of weeks ago. If I didn't know any better id say she's forgetting about you," She admitted bluntly, eyes watching as Dae-wi rested her head on your shoulder. "Shut up." Mira left out a huff, standing to make an exit. "You deserve it, she treated you so good, do better." 

Ignoring her, Mo-ri continued to stare as the pair stood there, at the end of the arena, in one another embrace. Jin frowned, trying to act like he didn't care. Trying to reinsure himself that you'd never forget about him after years of you chasing him like a puppy. But that false sense of hope died when daewi shifted, lifting his head from your shoulder and dipped his head down to capture your lips in a passionate kiss. He couldn't help but gaze at the way your hands moved from around his back to around his neck, deepening the kiss. 

As if he had an awakening he felt a surge of emotions rush through him. Anger, jealousy, heartache, sorrow, but most of all. He felt regret. 

Memories flashed through his mind, remembering when you first knocked on his door pestering him to come to play tag despite his antisocial behavior. "Come on! If you win ill buy you anything from the market."  Then he remembered you walking beside him late at night after he had a nightmare. "Dont worry, in this reality ill protect you from those dark thoughts." Another memory forcefully entered his mind, "Jin Mo-ri you are so cool! You always make me so proud to be your friend!" You laughed grabbing onto his arm. One after another memories popped into his head. "Happy birthday Jin! I thought you shouldn't be alone on your special day so I saved money to buy you this cake. Come, blow out your candles!"Then finally the last one made his heart clench. "Jin, please! Please stop leaving me behind! I deserve better, ill leave and .... ill leave and never come back!"

Yes, all he felt was regret.
