"Here. You needed a new pair, right?" Lee Jaemin asked, handing you a paper bag. Inside was a new pair of earphones since you've mentioned losing yours recently. It was the kind of thing he often did that confused you, sometimes.

Growing up, you had more than a bit of a crush on Jaemin. He was kind, caring, and attractive, but also older. Not by a lot, but old enough for him to feel like accepting your confession then was a bad thing.

You had a whole world to explore and more people to meet; at least, that was what he told you when he rejected you. Sometimes, Jaemin would remember the day you confessed, too. Whenever he did, he would think, I did the right thing. Right? Right.

It's been years since then. Thankfully, your friendship remained, mainly because Jaemin always acted like it never happened. You were still close to him, so it wasn't hard bringing up your new resolve to finally start dating that year.
