imagine: you finally tell changbin how much he means to you, but he spitefully brought your boyfriend along to hear everything
y/n's pov
changbin sat before you, his smile wide as he heard you speak.
"you know how i feel, right?" you muttered, nodding to yourself knowing that changbin already knew.
for months, you kept your feelings hidden. you'd been in a three year long relationship. what you hated most was that your relationship was fine, you were happy. you just felt happier with changbin instead.
changbin nodded, "i know," he smiled wider, "but i want to hear it from you."
he seemed too pleased with himself for getting you to open up, you didn't think it would come to this but he somehow blackmailed you into doing it.
"i'm happy with sungwoo, really happy..."
he felt almost guilty listening to you say that. you weren't aware that your boyfriend was stood behind the curtain, listening to every word you were speaking.
changbin's heart started to race - not because your attempt at reciprocating his feelings made his heart flutter, but because he knows what he's doing is wrong. he just wanted to be with you, but he went about it in the worst way.
"y/n-"
"no, please listen to me," you dropped your head, mentally tearing at your hair. "you asked me to speak to you about it. the least you could do is listen."
he gulped and allowed you to continue speaking.
"how can i love two men? really... how can i?" you stuttered just slightly, enough for him to notice the nerves running through your veins. "i've had sungwoo from the start, and i didn't expect to love anyone else. so, why?" your eyes began to tear up in anger, you were mad at changbin. "why did you have to ruin everything? hm?"
you really questioned why you let yourself fall for another man when you knew you already had the one you wanted. you attempted to excuse yourself by making lies, even false accusations.
'you made me love you because you were selfish.'
'you wanted to make me feel like this.'
there were no excuses you could make anymore, you just had to come clean.
"i love you," you looked up at him, grazing his eyes before turning away, "i love you, and i hate that you make everything so hard for me."
changbin expected this to be a sweet conversation; you'd tell him how in love you were with him and he'd be able to have you to himself. but, he just didn't realise how much pain you were in.
"although i love you, i'm already in love."
you accepted that you couldn't leave sungwoo, you'd hate yourself for it - and you already started to.
"but, sungwoo..." you started, "he can never know about this."
changbin bit his lower lip in embarrassment, he knew sungwoo would appear any second.
"we're friends," you smiled fraudulently, "nothing more."
the curtain was pulled aside and sungwoo looked at you with a tilted head, tears in his eyes. "i think i'd have felt better if you told me straight."
you stood to your feet and looked at changbin, biting the inside of your cheek intensely. he ratted you out. "how could you?" you mouthed to him, looking back at sungwoo's teary eyes.
"didn't you hear everything?" you moved closer to him, "i said i love you."
"but i expect you to love only me," he cried, pinching the bridge of his nose as he looked away. "you're breaking my heart," he dried his tears, nodding slowly as acceptance of how you felt.
you had nothing to say. you felt so embarrassed you wanted to walk away.
"you have a choice now," he cleared his throat, looking at you with the saddest eyes, "which is it?"
you frowned, wondering what he was proposing.
"me? or him?"
you stood between the two, completely emotionless. sungwoo was with you from the start, but changbin made you happier. you were in love with both of them. perhaps you were better off without either...
you stared back and forth for a moment, questioning your choice.
"so? who is it?"
