Tai was completely in love with you but you did not reciprocate this love since your heart belonged to Conner Kent who was your partner. But Tai wouldn't give up.

You considered him your best friend, one day you two went out for a walk and you said "Oh, this reminds me of the time Conner and I went out for the first time, I already want to come home to see him." Tai just nodded his head, feeling his heart ache at those words.
