Would it be wrong for someone to confess their love to another they know they have no future with?

The best case scenario is that that someone is rejected. The worst case, a relationship starts between the two. Time slowly ticking away as the love between them grows deeper and deeper. Until, eventually, the two are torn apart. No matter how hard they try to stay together, there's no fighting a fate predetermined by the start.

It'd be your fault for indulging in it, anyway.

Which is why Kai has never spoken of his love for you. Sure, he's mentioned it platonically. Why else would he be spending his days caring for you with no break? But he'd never place the burden of his true feelings on your shoulders. That would be cruel.

Instead he's gone by, day by day, as hopefully a source of comfort for you. The good. The bad. The tiring. The painful. He will always be there for you. Until the inevitable day you one day have to part.

Kai hums a quiet tune as he makes his way back to your shared apartment, a plastic bag in one hand as he twirls his keys between the fingers of his other. Today has been a good day so far. And he's gotten the ingredients for your favourite meal to hopefully make it even better.

But, as the key clicks in the lock and he pushes the front door open, Kai's heart almost stops. Seeing you collapsed on the floor, when he's certain he'd left you tucked away in bed just before leaving. "!"

Dropping the bag immediately, Kai rushes to your side. Slowly helping you into a seated position. "What happened? Are you okay? Injured anywhere?" Dammit, he shouldn't have let this happen. Should've taken you with him. "If you wanted to get up and move, you should've waited for me."
