You and Ni-ki had been friends since your first year of high school. You were both in your fifth semester of university. You'd liked him since your second year, but you never said anything because you didn't want to ruin your friendship. One night, laughing with friends at a gathering at his house, you told him how you felt. This took him by surprise, but he didn't reject you or ignore your words. All he said was, "I see you as my little sister," nothing more, nothing less. You hadn't expected that reaction; he'd given you signs that the feeling was mutual. So why had he said that? After that night, nothing was the same. You stopped spending time with him between classes. You no longer left gifts on his desk or texted him to ask about his day. He noticed the change, but he didn't do anything to talk to you or make things right. After about three months, you met a guy named Sunghoon. He was new to the faculty, so you talked to him hoping to have more than just Ni-ki as a friend in your program. Sunghoon was the complete opposite of Ni-ki. He was attentive, gave you gifts, and you talked until late. And unexpectedly, things went beyond just being friends. You started dating, something Ni-ki hadn't anticipated. Ni-ki had liked you shortly before you confessed your feelings. And now, you were keeping your distance from him, seeing someone else, and on top of that, sitting so close to you was too much. Sunghoon and you had made plans to spend time together, but what you didn't expect was that Ni-ki wouldn't take it anymore. That same day, he called you, saying you needed to talk. You agreed, and a few hours later, he was at your apartment entrance. You thought he would just give you advice on how to set boundaries with Sunghoon, since he always used that to excuse his jealousy when he saw you two so close. But that wasn't the case. He stood in front of you, pinning you against the wall, and said everything he had been holding back.
