"If we're still just friends, then... could we kiss again?" But the problem was... from that moment on, both of them felt something... off. Why did Heeseung keep subconsciously staring at your lips? Why did you feel your face flush every time you accidentally touched him? Why did you start noticing every little thing the other did, when everything used to feel so natural? And most importantly... if you were just friends, why did you both start feeling jealous whenever someone else came close to the other?You and Heeseung have been best friends since childhood, so close that sharing a bed felt completely normal. But, there was nothing more than friendship between you (at least in your minds).
Things began to get complicated during a game at a camping trip when you were pushed into the challenge of "kissing the person next to you, or else drink lemonade that's ten times stronger than usual." Heeseung was sitting right next to you, and the group around you started teasing and laughing. You pouted:
"This is just a game, what's the big deal?"
Heeseung calmly replied:
"Yeah, just a game."
And so, a gentle kiss happened. That was it. Nothing more. Just a kiss between two best friends. But the problem was... from that moment on, both of you felt something... off.
Why did Heeseung keep subconsciously staring at your lips? Why did you feel your face flush every time you accidentally touched him? Why did you start noticing every little thing the other did, when everything used to feel so natural?
And most importantly... if you were just friends, why did you both start feeling jealous whenever someone else came close to the other?
Still, neither dared to break the balance. What if the other didn't feel the same way? So, you continued as "best friends," trapped in a tangle of emotions with no way out.
Until one day, Heeseung stared at you for a long time and asked:
"If we're still just friends, then... could we kiss again?"
