BitterSweet

Seungmin’s POV:

I was talking to Hyunjin (my colleague and best friend) about something related to our recent film project. The manager really liked our animations since the film was animated. So, he decided to promote us to the higher leagues of our own team. Basically, made Hyunjin the leader. I was happy for him. Finally, he was enjoying his life. That man went through a lot. Hyunjin signaled me to come closer to him since he wanted to show me something. I hesitated at first but then I went anyways. He IS my best friend, how could I refuse? So, I got up from my seat and sat beside him. I could smell the scent of his perfume. Hyunjin was one of the most attractive men of our industry. Some of our female colleagues liked him but he had no interest in women. I had no feelings for him in that way (it’s not like I hate him or something) I really like him as a reliable friend, just I don’t see him that way. Besides, I’m already taken so I can’t look at him in that way either.

“So, how was it?” he suddenly asked. I snapped back to reality.

“Huh?!” I asked, confused. “How was what?” He looked skeptical.

“The video I showed you? Did you not watch it?”

I gasped. I completely forgot about the video. “Oops sorry, wasn’t really paying attention.” I laughed nervously.

“Why? What’s on your mind?” He asked.

“Nothing.” I replied almost instantly.

“You’re a bad liar, Kim Seungmin.”

“Do you really wanna know what’s in my mind?” I asked, smirking.

Hyunjin looked a bit uneasy. “Yeah...” he replied nervously.

“You!”

Hyunjin’s POV:

I was taken a back.

He was thinking about me?

I slightly blushed. I mean, imagine your crush thinking about you. I wonder what was he thinking? “What are you thinking about me?” I asked, getting my hopes up.

“I don’t know.” he replied, chuckling.

What? That was NOT what I expected. I was disappointed.

“Seriously?” I playfully rolled my eyes.

“Yup!” he replied, still giggling.

Kim Seungmin is my closest friend and crush too. I mean who can blame me? His smile is so breathtaking, it makes me forget all my problems when I look at it. His laugh is like music to my ears. His cuteness overloads every time I look at him. And he’s a REALLY good friend. He really changed my life. Back then, my life was a shitty mess. I didn’t know how to live and at some point, wanted to die. But then, he entered my life and changed everything. He taught me how to enjoy and experience life the good way. His words had a HUGE impact on my personality and even now, I work hard to be better everyday. I felt like I owed him a lot for that one. I started developing feelings for him but was too scared to confess. When I gathered up the courage, I found out he already had a boyfriend which shattered my heart and dreams. I was really heartbroken but then I realized, we could still be best friends if we can’t be boyfriends, right? So I just enjoyed being his friend.

“Helloo? Look, now who’s lost in thoughts?” Seungmin snapped his fingers and brought me back to reality.

“Huh?! What?” I was bewildered for a moment but I realized what was happening.

“Well, now may I ask what are YOU thinking?” he teased.

“You.” I giggled.

Minho’s POV:

I was watching them from outside. Teasing, joking, laughing about God knows what. Usually, I don’t really care about Seungmin spending good times with his friends or colleagues, but this friend in particular, Hwang Hyunjin, just doesn’t click with me. He’s always around Seungmin, clinging to him like he’s the only man in the world. I swear to God, he hugs him more than me.

Seungmin and I are in a relationship for almost a year now. We met in the last semester of our university and I guess, started liking each other. So, we started dating. Everything was perfectly fine until we joined this industry. I was always fond of dancing and music and always wanted to join a music industry or dancing club but Seungmin enjoyed acting and filming even though he’s an editor here. So, I gave up my dream of joining a music industry because I wanted us to work together. That’s when Hyunjin entered our lives and everything started going down. I’m pretty sure he likes Seungmin because I’ve never seen anyone clingier than him. And I hate it. I think since then, cracks have started to form in our relationship. Seungmin gets really annoyed when I ask him something related to Hyunjin and now he even avoids me for that DAMN reason. It just breaks my heart knowing I gave up my dream on him and he treats me like I’m nothing to him. I can’t say anything cause it’s his life and I don’t have a right to make his decisions. I sadly left only to bump on Han Jisung.

Jisung’s POV:

I was on my way to find Minho when I accidently bumped into him. What a coincidence?

“Hi Minho!” I greeted him cheerfully. He looked...upset. Why?

“Hello” He greeted back, dryly.

“Is everything ok?” I asked concerned.

“Yeah, I guess...” He replied.

“I don’t think so. Did something happen?” I asked again, clearly noticing his tone.

“I said I’m fine!” He snapped back. He left immediately.

Woah! That was rude. But I know Minho isn’t like that. Something must’ve been bothering him otherwise he’s really kind and comforting. He was the one who helped me with my social anxiety and because of him, I’m not scared of social gatherings anymore. I’m more cheerful now all thanks to him. He’s basically my therapist. He’s hot and really cool. Obviously, I have feelings for him but I can’t confess because he already has a boyfriend. Kim Seungmin. But they aren’t on good terms right now. Seungmin avoids Minho and spends MOST of his time with his best friend, Hyunjin. Minho doesn’t like their close friendship and I’m pretty sure they must share feelings or something. Otherwise, why are they so clingy? Anyways, I hope Minho is fine. I’ll talk to him but only when he’s in the right mood. Right now, he needs time and...space.
