Dokyeom v.13

For five years you've kept your feelings for Dokyeom a secret. Five years analyzing each of his warm hugs, his loving glances, and the special way he's always treated you, secretly nurturing the hope that one day he'd see you as more than just his best friend. During all this time, you even adapted your style and demeanor to a more polished and elegant look, trying to fit in with what you thought he liked.
Today they met for a drink as usual. Dokyeom arrives with a huge smile, overflowing with vibrant energy. He sits next to you, gives you a warm squeeze on the shoulder, and looks into your eyes with the blind confidence of someone who feels he knows you by heart.

"Aldana, you won't believe what happened! " she says, her smile still beaming. She pulls out her phone and turns the screen toward you, showing a picture of a delicate, reserved, and elegant-looking girl—completely unlike you. "She's the girl I told you about the other day... She accepted my date! I really think she's totally my type."

In that instant, seeing his eyes light up for someone else and noticing how distant that girl is from you, you feel all your five years of hope completely crumble. It's the dose of reality you needed to understand that, no matter how much you change, you'll never be what he's looking for.
