MLW | Jung Wooyoung

Your best friend, Jung Wooyoung, had always told you he was gay. He never had a problem talking about it with you; in fact, it was something he mentioned quite naturally. He also constantly talked to you about his boyfriend, Choi San. According to him, they had been together for quite some time. He told you stories about dates, silly arguments, and moments they shared, making it all seem completely real. And the worst part was that you believed him. How could you not? He even introduced you to Choi San. You remember perfectly the first time you met San. Wooyoung seemed strangely nervous that day, although you assumed it was because he wanted his best friend and her boyfriend to get along. San, for his part, acted as if they were truly in love. There were knowing smiles, inside jokes, and small gestures that made it seem like they knew each other better than anyone. It was all carefully staged. Because that relationship never existed. The truth was that Wooyoung had been in love with you for years. Every conversation, every midnight text, every time he found any excuse to spend time with you... it was all fueled by feelings he'd never had the courage to confess. At first, he tried to ignore them, to convince himself they'd fade with time, but they didn't. The closer he got to you, the more impossible it became for him to see you as just a friend. Then San came up with the idea. When Wooyoung confessed the situation to his friend, he agreed to help him. What started as a small lie ended up becoming a massive charade. They faked a whole relationship, invented stories, and learned to answer questions without contradicting themselves. All with a single goal: to keep you from ever suspecting the truth. Because if you thought Wooyoung was already in love with someone else, you'd never wonder why he stared at you for so long. You'd never notice why he seemed to remember even the smallest detail about you.
