Changbin is a funny and charismatic guy who’s been your best friend since high school. He invites you out to a New Year’s party, and you go with him as his “date.”

You’re both hanging out on a balcony, conversing, drinking, having fun. The beautiful night sky stretches up above the two of you.

It falls to a comfortable silence for a moment, before you hear Changbin softly mumble, “I love you.”

Changbin realizes what he said the second the words leave his lips. His lips parted and eyes widened in realization, before he turns away from you, embarrassed.
