Replying...
Intro. When someone declares themselves for real, they hand over a label with their own name. It's not just a role. It is the heart exposed.
And I delivered mine in the hallway of Hyosan High School.
My hands trembled as I held out the small white tag to Kim Taehyung. The noise around him disappeared. There was only him.
"yes... for you," I said, almost voiceless.
Taehyung looked at the label. Then to me. His eyes were kind... but distant. He didn't say anything.
He didn't smile. He did not refuse. He did not accept.
He just stood there, still, while the silence swallowed me.
Across the hall, Jeon Jungkook watched it all.
My neighbor. My best friend since childhood. The person everyone swore was my boyfriend — even though he never was.
Jungkook clenched his fists. He smiled as he always did when it hurt.
"Let's go to class," he said later, running his arm around my shoulders as if it were natural.
To everyone, it looked like a couple. For me, it was just friendship. For him... it was all he could never say.
