Woozi's Pov

Eating dinner together with my best friend and with her mother was never been this awkward.

"It is really a pity that my girlfriend's dad won't make it tonight. I really wanted to meet him," he said while pouting. I just looked at him and observe keenly.

"Don't worry my son, you'll meet him soon," aunt said. Son? Who is she calling 'son'?! (y/n) and him are not even married!

"Aunt this is so unfair," I complained. "Why are you calling someone your son in front of me? I thought I am your one and only son?"

Aunt pinched my cheek even though she knows I hate it. "Don't get jealous my first son. He is my daughter's boyfriend. Of course I should call him like my own."

Tsk. Jealous? He is not worth it to get jealous.

"Anyway, this is also not fair Woozi," Aunt complained. "You've said before that if my daughter starts to date, you'll tell me right away."

That's my plan. But how could I tell it? This is so sudden. I was so surprised too.

"Oh? You cooked my favorite pork ribs!" I changed the topic. "Aunt give me a lot of rice and-" I was about to get the plate of pork ribs but she took it away from me.

"Who said this is yours?" Aunt reported. "This is for my daughter's boyfriend."

"Aunt! This is discrimination!" I sulked.

"You know I treated you like a spoiled kid because I thought you'll be my future son in law. The table turned already Mr. Woozi," she teased, putting the plate of pork ribs in front of that Minghao.

Wait. Did she say son in law? Who? Me?

"Don't be ridiculous aunt. Me and (y/n)? You thought we will end up together?" I said, pointing my finger back and forth to me and to (y/n). But I stopped when I saw her gaze. My best friend is looking at me as if she is mad about a certain thing.

What's wrong with her? I should be the one who needs to get mad. She broke her promise yesterday, she didn't tell me about her boyfriend, and when I was cheering for her, she suddenly cried, telling me I should punch myself. I don't get her at all.

We fought before, yes we did. But this time, it feels different.

I looked away from her gaze and just eat in silent.

"So tell me Minghao, your name is Minghao right?" Aunt interrogated.

That guy starts eating his rice, little by little like how those rich kids play with their foods. He really irritates me for no reason. "Yes mom, my name is Minghao."

Mom?!

"Oh my, you heard him my daughter?! He called me 'mom'!" aunt exclaimed.

My bestfriend rolled her eyes and eats without saying anything. She wasn't usually as quiet as this.

"Minghao, my son, how did you meet my daughter? How did you fall in love with each other? Tell me everything."

That was my questions too. (y/n) was always by my side. She never interacts to any guy in school. There was time when I thought that she might be interested in girls since she never said anything about her crush.

"Ohh, (y/n) confessed her feelings to me," Minghao answered.

I almost choke in shock!

She confessed?! Really?! I never imagined her confessing to anyone?!

"My daughter is like that?" Aunt gasped. "Then, what happened?"

"I don't know if this is okay to tell but, yeah, I like her too so when she confessed, I kissed her," Minghao shared.

"Oh my gosh! That's so romantic my dear!"

They kissed.

I looked at her lips.

So she kissed him using those lips.

"Woozi? Are you okay?" Aunt asked me.

"Hmmm?" I replied.

"You dropped your spoon," she said.

When I stared down, I realized that I did drop my spoon. There's wrong with me. Definitely.

"Mom can we just stop talking about this?" Finally, she spoke up. I want her to look me into eyes, I want to speak to her even if just a quick glance, but she won't. Avoiding me huh?

"Yes, l-let's stop talking about this in front of a single guy like me," I agreed. "Can I get some pork ribs? He wasn't interested on it. I saw him only eating his rice." I stood up to get the plate of pork ribs but Minghao grabbed it.

"Who said I'm not?" He said while looking straight into my eyes. "It's mine. I can't share what's mine." Then he smiled.

His words tell me something. As if he is telling me not to get what is originally mine. This is not about the pork ribs. I am not getting mad because of this mere food. Then why? Is this because he is the guy who rejected Erin? But after I saw Erin's true colors, my feelings for her vanished instantly. Then, what I felt before is not true love? Ahhhhhhhhhhh I don't know!

"Give it to him," (y/n) said to me. Now, she is finally looking at me. "Mom prepared that pork ribs for my boyfriend. Get your hands off from it."

"Hey guys, what's wrong with the two of you? Did you get a fight with each other?" Aunt asked worriedly.

She is pushing me into my limit.

"Aunt sorry, but I think I need to talk to her, in private," I said, before I grabbed her hand and pulled her away.

I pulled her inside her room, where we usually hanged out, then locked the door. I took a deep breath before facing her.

"Let go of my hand," she complained, yanking my hand.

"Seriously, what's wrong with you?" I asked, calming myself so I won't yell.

Again with her silent treatment. She just sat on her back and looked down. How can I know what I did wrong if she is like this?!

"Hey. Stop acting so girly. You know I hate it, girl's attitude when it comes to this."

"Girl? Am I a man to your eyes?" she whispered without looking back.

"Look at me while you are talking."

"I can't."

"Why? Ahhhhhhhh, this is frustrating." I sat beside her and peeked into her face but she doing her best not to show it. "If I did something bad, t-then, sorry. I'm sorry (y/n). Let's make up. Hmmm?"

Still not responding.

"You know how I prioritize my ego, right (y/n)? I won't apologize not until I know what I did wrong. But this time, I will. So look at me and accept my apology. Please?"

(Y/n) slowly looked back. My knees weakened, and I feel like my heart skipped a beat when I saw her tears for the 2nd time. I made her cry... again.

"I'm sorry," she apologized. For what? What are we apologizing for?

"Okay okay. Stop crying." I cupped her cheeks. She knows I hate skin ship, but this is my only way to make her think that I am sincere. I start rubbing her tears using my thumbs.

Looking at her like this, crying, she looks cute.

"I don't want to ruin our friendship," she sobbed.

Me too. I don't want to lose you. I am ready to lose everything, but not you.

"I will stop it. I'll try to forget this. I'll promise," she continued.

"Forget what?" I asked.

"This," she said, groping her chest.

Her breast?

"What's wrong with your breast? It's small."

She pushed me away and laughed. "I hate you. Idiot."

"What is it? I didn't get it."

(y/n) stood up. She wiped her tears and took a deep breath. "Let's go. Mom will get worried. And my visitor will get mad."

"Visitor? Your boyfriend? Tssk." I rolled my eyes and lay down on her bed. "You can go out. I don't think I can eat with him. Our personalities don't match. I'll stay here."

"Okay."

I looked at her back. I want her to force me to come out. Am I weird?

"Woozi," she called my name while her hand is on the doorknob.

"What?"

"I love you."

I sat up, eyes are wide opened. My heart beats so fast, so fast that I'll lose my mind. Did I hear it right?

She stared back with a smile, "I love you as my friend. Let's be bestfriend, forever."

Then she went out.

For that moment... I wished that the time would stop when she said those three words. Without the words 'as my friend.' or ' Let's be best friend forever. '

After waiting for hours, staring at the ceiling while laying on her bed, I heard Minghao going out from they house. Out of curiosity, I peeked by the window. (Y/n) is seeing him out.

I wonder what they are talking?

Then Minghao looked into my direction so I quickly hid behind the curtain. Did he see me? I am not sure. So I peeked again, and this time, I saw him hugging her tight.

My chest, there is a throbbing pain inside my chest as I watch them from afar.

"I'm such an idiot," I laughed at myself.

Right. All this time... I just got to know the answer tonight. And also, the fact that I composed that song while thinking about (y/n), is because of this.
