Hyunwoo and I had always been inseparable, best friends for as long as I could remember. But tonight, something was different. We sat on the rooftop, the city lights flickering below us like stars, and the air between us felt charged.

He turned to me, his eyes softer than usual, but there was a fire behind them. "I need to tell you something," he said, voice low. “I don’t want to be just your friend anymore. I wanna be your lover, I don’t wanna be your friend.”

My heart stopped for a second, his words hitting me harder than I expected. I’d always felt something more, but hearing him say it out loud felt like a dream.

He took my hand gently, his fingers warm. “I’ve been falling for you for so long. I want to be the one you call yours.”
