Honey and bees

●●●

It's been a year since we've been talking, giggling and sharing stories that no one knew of.

Girls swarmed around you like bees as if you were their precious honey.

In the beginning, I used to tease you about it and you used to shrug me off by saying they could never be like me.

What was I to you, Taehyung?

It was a question that I asked to myself frequently.

But never to you.

That teasing died down with time, your popularity among girls just inflamed.

Do you remember that evening, Taehyung?

When that girl crossed her limit and kissed you on your cheek before running away. And I looked at you to find your cheeks flaming red.

At that time I was so infuriated, an unknown feeling raged within me.

That evening, while I stomped away not looking at you even for once, you chased me till I stopped to listen to you.

"Don't be like this to me, Noeul! I'm sorry. Please don't be upset. There's no one like you. You're my only friend."

Friend.

On that unfateful evening, you put a name on our relation and I felt going numb for a moment.

Instead of happiness, it felt like a bee stung right into my heart.
