Soobin and you had known each other forever. You had always been best friends—the kind who could talk about anything, who understood each other without words, who were always there for one another no matter what. It had always been easy with him. Simple. Until the moment you kissed.

At first, it felt right, almost like the natural next step. You thought that your deep friendship could turn into something even stronger. But as time passed, things started to feel different. The conversations that once flowed effortlessly became heavier. The little things you used to love felt forced. And at some point, there wasn’t just closeness anymore—there was distance, too.

There were no big fights, no dramatic endings. Just that one moment when you looked into each other’s eyes and knew it wasn’t working.

That evening, you sat side by side in silence while the world around you kept moving as if nothing had changed. Then Soobin let out a quiet sigh, his eyes meeting yours, and in a voice that was both uncertain and hopeful, he asked,

“Do you think… we could ever just be friends again?”
