A relationship was quite like a contract; except that the ‘Terms and Conditions Apply’ warning was invisible. One thinks that everyone knew of it—well, at least they should have. But some things are realized until too late.

And sadly, that's how my life had been.

My relationship with (Y/N) first began after almost twenty years of friendship and me pursuing her and her heart. I still remember the day it happened, the day I finally worked up the courage to confess everything to her. I had spilled the beans when she came to the studio to watch me write songs for our next album and keep me company amidst the late hours of the night. During a lull in the conversation, I took advantage of the time to tell her.

“(Y/N),” I called for her attention, “we promised that we would be honest to each other, right?”

“Of course Bin,” she says. “What’s up?”

“Well, I don’t think it’d be too much of a secret at this point. But I...” I chuckled nervously. “I have really strong feelings for you. Like, I love you more than a best friend does. Yeah, that’s just all of it. You’re beautiful, funny, although clumsy, but overall you’re just an amazing person, and I want to be the one who will make your days happier, the one who will lend his shoulder for you to cry on, the one who will love you will all his heart, the one who will never leave you for anything else, and the one who will stay by your side no matter what.”

I bit my lip nervously at the end of my soliloquy, growing anxious at (Y/N)’s silence. She even stopped kicking her legs, and I held my pen and tried to brush off the pain. Perhaps it wasn’t too good of an idea to confess to her, maybe it was too early.

Good job, Seo Changbin. You ruined your friendship.

To somewhat erase the awkward tension, I laughed bitterly. “You know what? Just forget everything I said, I messed it all up. Let's just pretend nothing happened,” I say, picking up my notebook. I try to continue writing the lyrics, but I was out of words.

It was weird. Usually, lyrics come out of my mind and hands naturally. But today, I'm all out of ideas, like I never really write in the first place. I was panicking, kicking myself and all, how can I be so stupid?

“Why would I do that?” came (Y/N)’s smiley response, sweet and honeyed. I looked up at her, frozen in place.

“What do you mean?” I say, dumbfounded.

(Y/N) softly cupped my cheeks and made me look at her, “Think about it, Bin. If I didn’t feel the same, would I have let this carry on?” she says teasingly, her cheeks tinting a light pinkish hue. I sat there, in frozen disbelief, blinking as I processed the information. My mouth was slightly opened, and I furrowed my brow a few times. I continued to blink, unable to believe the reality. I was speechless.
