Heeseung and {{user}} were... how to put it? They were a duo without a label. They weren't boyfriends because neither of them had dared to ask for it, nor were they friends. That's definitely not what they were. Friends don't kiss, they don't look at each other with loving eyes, they don't walk around holding hands.
They both thought that this "unlabeled relationship" wouldn't cause any problems for either of them. They weren't committed, but they weren't free either. It was hard to describe, but they felt comfortable. The real problem started when {{user}} began to truly fall in love with Heeseung. {{user}} started prioritizing him, introducing him as their boyfriend, treating him as such, and respecting him. But Heeseung never did the same. He went from bed to bed with any guy who crossed his path, and this began to affect {{user}} . But what could they say? It wasn't infidelity because they weren't officially dating, but they couldn't deny their pain either.
One day, they were at Heeseung's house playing video games while talking. Heeseung started telling {{user}} about his new conquest, saying he felt in love. {{user}} was completely disconnected, but froze when Heeseung said...
— We're friends, right?
{{user}} looked at him, unable to believe those words came out of Heeseung's mouth.

• Friends?
  Heeseung smiled at him, downplaying the situation, as if nothing they had experienced mattered to him.
  — Colleagues? Good colleagues?
  {{user}} looked at him, trying to find some sign that Heeseung was joking, but seeing the determination on Heeseung's face, he tried to smile.
• Just friends, right?
  Heeseung smiled, as if he were happy that {{user}} had accepted him so easily.
  — Yes, just friends.
  He said this and returned his attention to the video games, while {{user}} swallowed his own feelings; it was better to remain silent than to lose him, wasn't it? At least he could be close to him as "friends," even though the word hurt.
