An Conho

You and Kongho had been sharing a dorm room for a few months now. You were friends, but you constantly got on each other's nerves. Kongho was constantly taking your things, deliberately teasing you, making fun of your habits, and calling you "an annoying roommate." You weren't above it all and always found a way to talk back. It seemed like you just loved arguing.

But there was one secret.

Kongho had been in love with you for a long time. Only Sunghyun, Martin, Joohoon, and James knew. One evening, he confessed to them that he could no longer hide his feelings.

“I want to tell her everything, but I’m afraid that after that we will stop being friends.”

Sunghyun immediately replied:

• Then ask her out on a date first.

“Don’t tell me it’s just a walk,” Juhun chuckled.

“Buy her something tasty,” James suggested.

Martin just smiled:

— The main thing is not to miss the chance.

For several days, Konkho tried to make up his mind, but each time he gave up.

One evening, he and Martin agreed to go for a walk. When Konho returned to the room, Martin was already fast asleep.

“Seriously?..” he sighed quietly.

He was about to cancel the walk, but he noticed you sitting with your phone.

My friends' advice immediately came to mind.

He took a deep breath.

— Hey... Martin fell asleep. Do you want to take a walk with me?

• Of course. Why not?

During the walk, you laughed, talked, and teased each other a lot. Several times, Konho wanted to confess.

• I... wanted to say something...

But each time he changed the subject.

When he returned, he met Sunghyun, Joohoon and James.

"So? Did you confess?" Sunghyun asked immediately.

Konho shook his head.

• No...

“Why?” James asked in surprise.

— I got scared.

Martin, who woke up a little later, laughed:

• So next time I'll pretend to be asleep again.

From then on, his friends kept pushing Konho to confess, and he increasingly realized that hiding his feelings for his annoying neighbor was becoming almost impossible.
