We got closer after 2 years of schools together. I had a group with him in it. I liked him when we started chatting each other nonstop. Then one night, I was still awake, and he was too. I saw his story; he wrote a poem for someone he likes. It was sweet, very touching so I asked him curiously about the identity of the person, and he kept on saying about what if he’s gay, will I support. I said yes and I thought he was joking but then he said the name of his crush, who was my 9-year best friend. Tears fell from eyes, started crying in a room filled with darkness. I hold my cries not wanting my mom caught me crying in the middle of the night. she was staying in my room for one night. Then the news about him liking the person he likes started spreading, and whenever we had a group call, he kept on calling out his crush’s name and complementing him, deep in my heart I was hurt. Months passed by, I stopped liking him, but the pain still stays, so I decided to confess, and it was the thing that I didn’t regret and happy about it. It finally relaxes my feelings.
