Seungmin fell in love with you—and he realized it in a devastating way. It was when you were together in a simple moment, maybe laughing about something silly, and he thought, “I love her.” It scared him. Because if he said it out loud… you might leave. And losing you is worse than hiding what he feels.

Your mother told him he was getting in your way. And he believed her. Because deep down, he feels like he’s not enough for you.

So he pulled away. Afraid to tell you. Afraid to hurt you.
