You are trapped in a situationship with Niki, starting from being friends and our feelings are mutual..you never thought that a relationship would be scary if you was with Ni-ki, he is the best man in your life until..

"will you be my girlfriend?"

he asked you to be his girlfriend. you had mixed emotions when he asked you that, but one thing's for sure: you weren't ready to be in a relationship. You like him a lot, but having a relationship right now is not in your plans. maybe someday...

you politely declined. you never wanted to hurt him, but it's not really the right time for you. he simply said, "it's fine, i understand," with a soft, reassuring smile on his face. of course, he understands you, like he always does, but you can feel the pain lingering within him.

after that, you thought everything would still be the same; the same as how you talked to each other like you always did. but things began to shift.

Ni-ki started to pull away, and you found yourself feeling the weight of his absence. he began avoiding you, even blocking you on social media, leaving you in a silence that felt heavier than you expected.
