(A.N: Not to be assumed to be Minju former member of Iz*One.)

This was not the love story you'd be expecting to read. This was not a meet-cute & full of heart fluttering moments... This was what it was... painful in the most beautiful way. 

Sunghoon sat across from Minju knowing full well how this conversation would go. The very conversation they've had multiple times. "I thought we've already been through this, Sunghoon..." He knew he was only putting himself through pain, but he couldn't help how he felt. 

They had been over this many of times, but the outcome never changed. Sunghoon still felt how he felt with the consistent rejection from Minju. "미안해 민주야. 저는 제 기분을 어쩔 수가 없어요. 당신은 정말로 나에게 아무것도 느끼지 못했나요?" (I am sorry, Minju. I can't help how I feel. Have you truly never felt anything for me ?) Minju sighed as she thought things over. However, this lasted less than a few seconds. There wasn't much to think over here.

"I am afraid I have never felt that way about you, Sunghoon... I only see you as a good friend." Sunghoon felt his heart break for the nth time, but this was expected. A pain he was fully prepared for, but it still shattered his heart to pieces. So he chose his next words slowly as the weigh of another rejection was still fresh on his broken heart. Sunghoon sighed forcing a smile, "Friends. Of course. I just have one last question, Minju..."

Minju locked eyes with him ready to hear whatever he wanted to ask. "What is it, Sunghoon ?" The initial awkwardness was gone now. It had been completely replaced with the sheer pain of a broken heart. Not that Sunghoon was ready to admit this. "Why did you continue to wanting to being my friend if you knew how I felt ? Was this all a joke to you, Minju ?"

She raised her hands in a quick gesture as to dismiss this assumption. It was never her intention to string him along & the last thing she'd want is for him to believe that she'd do that to anyone. Let alone do that to him... "아까 말씀드린 대로 성훈 씨. 나는 당신을 아주 좋은 친구로만 보았습니다. 나는 당신을 놀리기 위해 당신의 고백을 거절한 것이 아닙니다. 저는 절대 그러지 않을 겁니다. 알겠어요?" (It is like I said, Sunghoon. I have only see you as very good friend. I didn't reject your confessions as to make fun of you. I would not do that ever. Okay ?)

After this the conversation was once again at a standstill. No one knowing what else they needed to say...

One Sided.

The END.
