____ and Yunho were best friends. They had known each other since they were kids. They were neighbours and their moms were close friends.
Yunho and ____ were in the same high school. She had a crush on Yunho since middle school. She was thought he liked her back and wanted to confess at their graduation, she had planned this years ago and fantasied about how it would go. She thought everything would go perfectly.
That was until she transferred…
→~~~~~~~~~~~←
“Class. Quiet down. We have a new student joining our class today.” Mrs Lee announced.
Murmurs were heard throughout the class.
A new student? At this time of year? It’s the middle of the graduating year, who would transfer at a time like this?
Yunho leaned to ____ side and whispered, “I heard she’s pretty.”
____ rolled her eyes. She tried to not let it bother her as she has a huge crush on him since forever.
As the new student walked in everyone’s jaw dropped.
“Hi, I’m Jangmi. Lee Jangmi. Nice to meet you.”
She was gorgeous. Her looks were as if it had been hand crafted by Aphrodite herself. Her facial features were perfect. Her body was a perfect hourglass figure. Her skin was amazing.
Yunho’s eyes widened. “Damn, she really is fucking pretty, and shy. She’s literally my ideal type. ” he whispered to ____, while starring at Jangmi as if she was a piece of art at the museum.
____’s heart dropped. She felt like crying.
He never looked at me like that.
“Jangmi, you can sit in front of ____. ____ raise your hand please.”
And for the rest of the class, ____ just wanted to run and cry.
→~~~~~ during break ~~~~~←
“Hi Jangmi, I’m Yunho. Do you want us to show you around school?” Yunho went up to Jangmi, dragging ____ with him.
____ faked a smile and nodded her head.
Jangmi agreed and for the rest of their break both of them showed her around the school.
“Lastly, this is the cafeteria. Do you want to eat?” Yunho asked.
“No thank you. I’m on a diet.” Jangmi rejected with a smile as she waved her hand.
“Diet? But you’re so skinny. Maybe ____ should go on a diet.” He nudged ____ teasingly and laughed.
Jangmi giggled. ____ looked down, feeling upset. She wanted to run away.
Am I really fat?
“I’m not that skinny and ____ is nice just the way she is. I think she’s really pretty.” Jangmi said.
____ looked up.
She’s nice.
→~~~~~~~~~~~←
Every since then, they’ve been a group. The three of them.
→~~~~~~~~~~~←
“Hey ____, did you hear about Yunho?” Yeosang asked.
Yeosang and ____ were also very close. But he didn’t really click well with Yunho. Both ____ and Yeosang shared multiple classes, in those classes, Yunho would share them with Jangmi and every time after those lessons, Yunho would hang out with Jangmi and accidentally ignore ____.
“Huh? What?”
“Are you sure you don’t know? You two are always so close.”
“We drifted a little. He’s really close with Jangmi nowadays.”
Yeosang was aware that ____ liked Yunho. He never understood why but never questioned his friend’s taste.
“I don’t think it’s a good idea to tell you then.”
“Just say it.” ____ was getting annoyed.
“He likes Jangmi. I over heard him talking to Mingi about confessing to her on graduation day.”
____’s heart fell. She had heard some rumors about Yunho confessing on graduation day and she thought it was her as all her other friends were also convinced it was her.
____’s face turned pale.
“You ok?” Yeosang asked, concerned.
____ nodded without saying anything. She didn’t feel like talking.
→~~~~~ after class ~~~~~←
When ____ was leaving the class with Yeosang, Yunho suddenly pulled her away.
“Hey, I know we hadn’t hung out in a while but I need to ask you something.”
“Ask Jangmi.” ____ coldly said before turning and leaving.
Yunho ran up to her and walked beside her.
“It IS about her. I can’t ask her.” He whispered.
As they left the school, Yunho dragged ____ to the nearby café, the one where they used to go to a lot before Jangmi came into their lives.
“Look, I like Jangmi and I was thinking that maybe you can help me.”
Hearing those three words, ____’s mind blanked out.
He likes her
Just as he finished his sentence, Yeosang entered with Wooyoung. Both guys saw ____ and Yeosang realised that she was uncomfortable.
As Yunho was waiting for a reply, Yeosang dragged Wooyoung and walked towards them.
“Hey ____, I’ve been looking all over for you.” Yeosang said.
“You have?” Wooyoung replied giving his best friend the ‘what the fuck’ look before getting elbowed by said friend.
“What do you need her for?” Yunho said rolling his eyes.
Do you really have to interrupt us?
Yunho was annoyed.
“The group project. We need to start on it. The three of us.” Yeosang said.
It was the best excuse he could come up with to get his friend out of the uncomfortable situation.
“Since when do we have a group project?” Wooyoung asked again.
“Yea since when?” ____ asked.
“Both of you really need to pay attention in class.” Yeosang said as he begun packing for ____ and dragging her out.
Yunho was left there, annoyed.
“What group project?” Wooyoung asked again.
“Stop asking. There is no group project. I was trying to get our friend her out of that situation.” Yeosang replied glaring at Wooyoung.
He turned his head to ____ and asked “What did he ask? Are you ok? You looked uncomfortable. That was the only excuse I could come up with.”
“Can I go home? I’ll tell you there. Please. He can see us. I just want to go home.”
Just as they were walking, they saw Jangmi.
“Oh, ____. Hiiiii.” She ran up to her and hugged her.
“Oh my god. Are you ok? You look so pale.” She asked, her voice full of concern.
____ nodded and smiled.
“Are these your friends? Hiii, I’m Jangmi.” Jangmi offered her hand but neither Yoesang not Wooyoung took it. Yeosang just grabbed Wooyoung and ____’s hand and dragged them towards the direction of ____’s house.
Jangmi was left there, confused.
→~~~~~ at her home ~~~~~←
____ explained everything to the two friends.
“He said he liked her.” ____ said hysterically into Yeosang’s shoulder.
Wooyoung was pissed. He knew about her crush. He also thought that Yunho was interested in her seeing how much he always cared for her.
“But I can’t bring myself to hate her. She’s so nice.”
“Let’s beat him up.” Wooyoung whispered to Yeosang.
Yeosang glared at him then looked back at the crying ____ on his shoulder.
After a few hours of crying, “I think it’s best to tell him how you feel. Get over him quicker.” Wooyoung suddenly suggested.
“That’s not go-“
“yeah i agree” ____ suddenly voiced out.
“I need to get over this. I’ve liked him for so long but he never noticed.”
“But your friendship…” Yeosang said softly.
“It’s ok. We’ve drifted anyways. He doesn’t hand out with me anymore. It’s like im invisible whenever the three of us hang out. There’s no use keeping this friendship going It was over ever since Jangmi joined. It’s better to accept reality now than later.” ____ said as she wiped her tears.
→~~~~~ the next day ~~~~~←
“Hey, ____ can I talk to you?” Jangmi asked, as she pulled ____ out.
“Hey! What about me?” Yunho pouted.
“It’s a girls thing.” Jangmi replied, sticking out her tongue playfully before leaving.
“What did you need to talk about?”
“I like Yunho”
“I was thinking, since you’ve been friends with him for so long. Maybe you can help me think of how to confess…” The last part was said softly.
____’s world stopped. She had told herself that she had to get over him quickly but hearing her say that made her heart ache even more.
“I don’t know. Ask Mingi.” ____ replied, trying to hold back her tears.
“I thought that yo-“
“____! I found you. I’m gonna borrow her for a sec. You can go to class first.” Wooyoung suddenly interrupted, pulling ____ away.
A confused Jangmi stared at them before shrugging her shoulders and walking back into class.
Wooyoung was going to his own class but saw both girls talking, and after Jangmi had finished talking he saw a visible shift in ____ facial expressions and knew he had to get her out of that situation.
“You good?”
“She likes him back.” ____ suddenly said.
“What?” Wooyoung asked, confused.
“Jangmi likes Yunho.”
As they talked outside her class, both of them looked into the class. Seeing how lovingly they both stared at each other ____ felt jealous.
“It’s always her. I’ve lost count the number if times guys have come to ask me on how to ask her out. She’s so god damn perfect that it is so fucking difficult to hate her.” ____ finally let out her rage.
Wooyoung didn’t know what to do. He had never seen ____ that angry. She was always composed, but because of this, she finally broke.
Wooyoung as about to say something, but the bell rang before he could say a word.
____ took a deep breath and pat Wooyoung’s shoulder.
“I’m fine. Wait for me here. It’s math. I’ll take my bag and we cam go to class together.”
Math was one of the lesson that ____ shared with Wooyoung and Yeosang while Yunho shared it with Jangmi.
→~~~~~ after math (🤮) lesson ~~~~~←
____ left the class on her own to talk to Yunho.
“Hey Yunho, are you free now. I need to talk to you.”
“Oh, hey ____. I’m kind of busy now. Mimi and I are going to the bookstore to pick up something.”
“Mimi?”
“Yeah, Jangmi.”
“You’re on nickname basis now?” ____ whispered as Yunho grabbed Jangmi’s hand and left.
Since then, Yunho and ____ barely talked. Whenever she tried to talk to him, Jangmi would be there or he would be too busy, having plans with Jangmi.
→~~~~~ on graduation day ~~~~~←
Today was the day But it was not as happy or as bright as ____ had imagined.
She woke up late, didn’t have time to eat her breakfast and as she was running to school, she had gotten water splashed on her by a car. So far her day wasn’t going good.
This was her last day of school. She was going to tell Yunho how she felt before leaving.
→~~~~~ the night before ~~~~~←
“Mom, Dad. I want to go to Australia to study.”
Her parents were shocked at her sudden request.
“But why?” Her mom asked.
“I just want to further my education there. It’s better. And Yeosang and Wooyoung are so going. We applied to the same course.”
“But sweetie what about Yunho?” Her mom suddenly asked.
“My education and future is more important than a friend. Can I please go?“
Seeing how determined their daughter was, they gave in.
→~~~~~ back to present ~~~~~←
The whole day, ____ couldn’t find Yunho.
At the ceremony, she saw Yunho at the stage wing and wonder what he was doing there. He wasn’t the smartest and never scored high marks. He was a mediocre student.
Everyone’s parents were there to see their child graduate. Even ____, Jangmi and Yunho’s parents were there.
Yunho stepped up on stage. He took the mic and walked towards were Jangmi was sitting. He then got on one knee and pulled out a bouquet of red roses, Jangmi and ____’s favourite flowers.
“Lee Jangmi. Would you make me the happiest man in this hall and be my girlfriend?” Yunho confessed in front of everyone.
Jangmi was in shock while all of ____’s friends turned to look at ____, even Yeosang and Wopyoung. They felt bad. ____ was holding in her tears. She knew she had to get over this, but it hurt. It really hurt. It just hurts so bad.
“Oh my god, Yunho… Yes!” Jangmi said as she hugged him.
Hearing Jangmi’s reply, ____’s mom knew why her daughter wanted to leave so bad, and she understood. She could see how much pain her daughter was in and put her arm around her shoulder.
“It’s ok. Let’s go home.” She whispered.
Seeing ____ and her family leaving Yeosang also decided to leave.
While everyone cheered, the two families left quietly.
At the carpark, Yeosang ran up to ____’s family.
“Mr Kim. Mrs Kim. Can I talk to ____?”
Both parents nodded and Yeosang ____ left to one side as both their parents waited in the car.
“Are you ok?”
Just then Wooyoung and the rest of her friends ran out.
“____ are you ok?” all of them asked at the same time.
Seeing all her friends caring so much about her, she started crying.
“I’m sorry. I so sorry.” Tears ran down her cheeks as she tried to hide her face.
Seeing this, everyone hugged her.
“Don’t apologise. You did nothing wrong. You’ll meet someone better in the future.” Chaeryeong, one of her best friend, said.
“Yeah, you’ll meet someone a million times hotter and richer.” Xiaoting said and everyone burst out laughing.
“We’ll miss you a lot ____.” Hikaru said, trying not to cry.
All her friends we’re aware about ____’s decision to go overseas. They were also aware of the reason. They understood her decision.
→~~~~~ the next morning ~~~~~←
They were all at the airport. Yeosang, Wooyoung and ____ all had their luggages. ____ was saying her last goodbyes to her friends and family.
“I’ll come back every holiday.” ____ said crying.
All of them were crying. ____’s parents were happy to see how much their daughter had grown and her friends all were sad to have to see her leave for the sake of a boy.
“Hey… They’re calling our flight already. It’s time to go.” Yeosang softly said.
Hugging everyone and saying their goodbyes, the three of them left to their boarding gate. ____ was assured that this trio would surely last.
As she was turning her phone to flight mode, she received a text.
‘Hey ____ where were you? Let’s celebrate.’
It was from Yunho.
Then another text came in.
‘____-ieeeeee. Let’s celebratee. I misss youu alreadyyy😭😭😭’
It was from Jangmin.
____ decided that her story with them ends here. She ignored their messages.
“I can’t wait to see San again. I miss him so mucchhhhh.” Wooyoung whined.
“I’m curious to see your boyfriend.” ____ teased.
“What about you? Who’s this Jongho guy?” She teased Yeosang.
Yeosang blushed and elbowed ____.
→~~~~~ Australia airport ~~~~~←
“BABEEEE!!” Wooyoung shouted as he ran towards someone.
“God this child.” Yeosang whispered, rolling his eyes.
“What about you? That San guy has someone beside him.”
Yeosang looked towards San’s direction and saw his own boyfriend and blushed again.
“God you’re so shy. Go.” ____ gave him a push.
Jongho walked up to him and kissed him.
“Hi baby.”
Yeosang blushed again, “shut up, ____’s here.”
Beside the couple, ____ started giggling.
It was cute how the two best friends dated a pair of brothers. The Choi brothers grew up in Korea and San was close with Yeosang and Wooyoung. Eventually, San and Wooyoung started dating. Then they met Jongho, and Yeosang fell in love too. Then they started dating. But the Choi brothers had to move, so they had a long distance relationship. Then in their last year of middle school, they met ____ and Yunho.
“Hello, I’m Kim ____.”
“Hello.” The brothers said in unison.
The two couples then resumed their lovey dovey acts making ____ feel lonely.
“God I hate third wheeling.”
“You’ll get used to it.” Wooyoung teased.
____ rolled her eyes at his reply.
“How did you come here?” Yeosang asked, with Jongho still hugging him, he refused to let him go.
“Seonghwa hyung drove us here. He’s there.” San pointed to a man walking towards them.
____’s jaw dropped.
Oh fuck he’s hot
“Hello, I’m Seonghwa.”
“Let’s put your things at home before going out.” He suggested.
Seonghwa bought a house and the Choi brothers lived with him. Paying monthly rent of course. Seeing that their boyfriends were moving, they suggested to Seonghwa to allow them to stay and he agreed.
When they reached the house, the three of them were shocked. They house was big.
“Damn. He rich rich.” Wopyoung whispered to ____ and Yeosang.
They were assigned different rooms. The couples together and ____ alone.
When Seonghwa was showing ____ her room, they were alone. Seonghwa found ____ pretty. He couldn’t take his eyes off her. He had heard about what happened to her and couldn’t understand how anyone could treat her like that.
“Uhm… Can I help you?” ____ asked.
“You’re really pretty.” Seonghwa blurted out.
____ blushed at his words.
Realising that, Seonghwa panicked. He just met her and was already trying to hit in her.
God. Fucking idiot. I just had to fuck it up
“Uhhh. I didn’t mean to say it. But I-I mean yeah you’re really pretty and uh”
“Thanks. You’re really good looking too.” ____ interrupted.
They just stood there. Both with a very obvious shade of red on their cheeks.
Wooyoung and San were outside and Wooyoung had an idea. With a cheeky smile, he pushed ____ towards Seonghwa’s direction. Seonghwa caught her to prevent her from falling and the close proximity between the two made them blush even more. The couple giggled at the two of them.
“Uhm… I’m so sorry.” ____ quickly said, getting off of him.
“It’s ok.”
Just then ____ got a call.
“Hey mom.”
“Sweetie. Yunho and his girlfriend came over to ask for you. I told them you were out.”
“Thanks mom.”
After the graduation ceremony, ____ didn’t feel like talking to Yunho anymore. She felt it was better to leave things that way.
Then ____ got another call. Seeing the caller ID being Yunho, ____ panicked.
“If you don’t mind?” Seonghwa asked, sticking out his hand, offering to pick up for her.
____ handed Seonghwa her phone.
“Hello? ____. Where are you? You left me on read. Jangmi’s here, we’re at the café. Come join us.”
“____, please comeee.” Jangmi added.
“She’s not available right now.”
“Wh-who are you?”
“That’s not important.” Seonghwa replied as he patted ____’s head.
“God this is so slow.” Wooyoung whsipered.
“You were also like this. Don’t forget that.” Yeosang whispered back.
The two couples were in the same room, waiting for them.
“Where is she?” Yunho asked.
“Do you want him to never call again?” Seonghwa asked ____ while covering the phone mic.
____ nodded looking at the floor. She felt like crying again.
Seeing this, Seonghwa replied “She’s currently beside me. Would you like to speak to your friend babe?” Before hanging up the call.
Seeing what Seonghwa did, ____ blushed even harder if that was possible. He then put her phone on the bed and hugged her.
“It’s ok. Let’s go and eat.” Seonghwa bent down to her eyes level.
Feeling her heart racing, she grew confident and kissed him on the cheek before taking her phone and running to Yeosang’s side.
San, Wooyoung, Yeosang and ____ left while Seonghwa and Jongho were left there.
“Hyung, I think you better hurry and take her before she takes my boyfriend away.” Jongho said, patting Seonghwa’s shoulder before leaving.
“He’s never this confident. Whatever he did to that Yunho guy was for you.” San said to ____.
Wooyoung smirked, “ooooo. Little ____ and Seonghwaa. How cute..”
The two couples knew that they would be a cute couple, it was just a matter of time.
Yunho was left confused. What happened to his best friend? He would never know how ____ felt and he would never understand why her friends started treating him coldly. He would never know why ____ cut contact with him. While in Australia, a new love was blooming for her. A chance to feel the love that Yunho could never reciprocate.
A trio that never lasted. A best friend that left. An unrequited love that ended with no closure. A friendship that was never meant to be. A boy that was blind to his best friend’s love to him and a girl that was always the second option.

Author pov
7 years later, ____ is 20, San is 21
At the palace
“Let’s all congratulate the newly wedded couple and the reign of a new king!” The previous king announced.
There, in front of the whole country, stood ____ and San, the new king and queen of wonderland, seemingly happily married.
Walking back in, ____ saw Xiaoting and Chaeryeong together. She wanted to talk to them and finally catch up after so long when San held her arm tightly.
“Remember, don’t speak a word about last night.” He threatened, then let her arm and walked out of the dining hall, most likely to see Harin again.
-------------------
Last night
“WHY MUST I GET MARRIED TO YOU?!?” San yelled, throwing random things towards ___’s direction.
____ was on the floor, in her nightgown, body bruised and bleeding from San’s abuse.
Just then, Harin walked in.
“Sannie, what’s going on?”
San looked up to her and went to hug and kiss her.
“Nothing much love, just dealing with some stuff.” San said as he looked at ____ with disgust.
Harin went up to her and kicked her. “Why didn’t you invite me to play?” she asked in her sickening high-toned fake voice.
This went on for the next few hours. They kept beating her and pulling her hair, torturing and abusing her.
She never wanted this. She wanted to leave the marriage, however leaving the marriage will result in her family being exiled from the kingdom and her father possibly executed.
End of flashback
-----------------------------
____ walked towards Xiaoting and Chaeryeong.
“There my little baby is. Oh, I can’t believe you’re getting married. My little baby grows up so fast.” Xiaoting says as she wipes off a fake tear.
“Oh stop being so dramatic,” Chaeryeong said, lightly hitting Xiaoting’s shoulder.
“Anyway, how are you? I haven’t seen you in so long. Is he treating you right/ Is he still seeing that bitch? Speaking of him, where is he? What kind of man leaves their wife right after their marriage ceremony? Chaeryeong bombarded _____ with questions
“Yes, he’s treating me well. No, he hasn’t been seeing Harin and lastly I have no idea where he is.” ____ lied with a smile.
Both girls seem to believe it, seeing that their faces showed the look of joy towards their youngest friend having married prince Choi and becoming queen.
Did ____ feel bad lying to the 2 people she trusts the most? Yes, absolutely. But it was the only way ____ could think of to keep them out of her problem, to keep them unaware. If they knew, ____ was afraid of what San might do to them.
The 3 of them continued their conversation, it was more like Chaeryeong and Xiaoting were the ones talking. ____ stood there in silence just listening to them, she managed to hide her feelings well since her smile looked so genuine. After all, she had managed to keep that facade for more than 5 years. However, she kept silent as she felt that if she were to open her mouth, she might break down crying.
