fully inspired by conan grayâs song heather, i recommend you listen while reading thank you!
You said it looked better
december third, a day you wished that never ended , it was the day where hyunsuk, your bestfriend since first grade, and you were hanging out at his house baking christmas cookies.
âoh fuck, the heater in my car broke.â you said, crying in the inside as it was as cold as hell outside. wonderinh how will you go home without freezing your toes off.
hyunsuk looked at you with worried eyes, âyou canât drive in this weather, youâll freeze before you even get to your car!â he dramatically exclaimed, being the mom he is.
it probably wasnât a good idea that all you were wearing is a thin shirt, leggings and your padded coat.
âi thought i was just here to drop off your things that you left at my place, who knew you would drag me to bake cookies with you!â you pouted, genuinely troubled by the situation.
hyunsyuk disappeared for a few seconds, coming back with a blue sweater and a thick blanket. âhere wear this and wrap this around you first before you go.â he offered you the items.
you smiled a little to yourself, happy to wear your crushâs sweater, favorite sweater at that. âthank you.â you beamed at him. going to the bathroom to change.
you walked out, doing a little extra twirl for the fun of it. hyunsuk laughed at your antics, â you look great! better than i ever did when i wore that.â he told you, scraching the back of his neck.
âreally? out of the ten thousand times you wore this?!â you teased him, a sly smirk on your lips because he complimented you.
âyeah yeah yeah, you better get going before it gets colder.â he waved you off.
âthank you hyunsuk!! iâll return this to you when i see you next!â you shouted behind your back, dragging the blanket around your shoulders then walking out the door.
â oh how i wished you knew how much i like you.â you whispered, driving off.
âBut I watch your eyes, as she
âHYUNSUK!!â you shouted from the other side of the field. fumbling with his sweater you were holding.
you ran to him as quick as you can without disrupting other people. âthank you for lending me this.â you genuinely smiled at him. sad to let it go nonetheless.
he took it from your hands. âanytime, y/n.â he said, it was directed at you but his eyes were elsewhere.
you whipped your head at the direction he was looking at. and you saw her, heather. in all her glory. what a sight for sore eyes.
you looked back at hyunsuk, he looked completely out of it. you snap your fingers infront of his face.
âheather huh?â you joked. heart breaking a little as the seconds tick by.
âsheâs absolutely stunning, the most beautiful girl iâve ever seen.â he gushed. still looking at her, dazed.
âwell, iâll get going then.â you bid him goodbye not looking him in the eyes because he might see the hurt in yours.
he waved at you as you hurriedly walked away.
âWhy would you ever kiss me?
I'm not even half, as prettyâ
ây/n, im so sorry, it didnât mean anything.â
hyunsukâs words echoed in your head, you grimaced as you recalled what happened.
there was a party at jihoonâs house, you were celebrating jaehyukâs graduation.
hyunsuk had a little bit to drink while you were completely sober. he pulled you to the backyard.
ây/n, im thinking of confessing to heather after her last class on friday.â he slurred, breath smelling like cheap alcohol.
âoh really?â you pretended to be happy for him. planning on crying the whole night when you got home. âi support you!â you told him in fake excitement.
âthank you for being my bestfriend.â he told you.
and the next thing that happened was completely unexpected.
he smashed his lips into yours. youâre eyed widened in shock and you couldnât even kiss him back. you pulled away and saw that he was shocked as well.
and you did what you had to in that moment, you ran away.
he voicemailed you the following morning saying that he was sorry and the kiss meant nothing. and that hurt you even more.
âof course, who am i to have you? sheâs perfect and im not half as good as her.â you said into thin air, burying your face into your pillow.
âYou gave her your sweater
It's just polyester, but you like her better
in has been 2 weeks since the incident, you and hyunsuk kept in touch since then but not like before, which in your case is a good thing.
you didnât have to thirdwheel on the newly formed couple every single day.
she held his hand everywhere they went, you could see it everytime they went around campus.
he gave her the same sweater he lended you, but you canât help but think she looks better than you in it.
he grabbed her by the waist and whispered sweet nothings in her ear as you watch from behind.
silently wishing you were heather.
