Chapter Text
megan never thought of herself as oblivious.
sure, she could be a bit slow at times, but who wasnt?
she thought of herself of someone who could easily detect when somebody had a crush on her!
well- it seemed she thought wrong, yoonchae, her best friend since middle school, has been crushing on her since the day they first met.
it was almost 6 years ago, the pair meeting on the first day of middle school. the summer before school started, yoonchae had just moved to los angeles from seoul. her english was a bit bad, and she had a slight accent. many of the other kids there avoided her, not even attempting to make conversation.
all except megan.
on the first day of school, megan saw the korean girl sitting alone under the shade of a tree. being the extroverted person she was, she ran up to yoonchae, introducing herself and even sharing some of the food her mom had packed her!
to yoonchae, it seemed like an angel had approached her. from that day on, the pair were inseparable. but it wasnt until the 8th grade that yoonchae realized her feelings for megan.
they were eating lunch at their usual spot, under the tree they first met at, megan was rambling away about something yoonchae didnt understand, her lunch was left alone, her focus on megans face. the way her nose crinkled and the little whisker dimples formed whenever she smiled, yoonchae almost wanted to kiss the-
‘wait,’ she stopped herself- ‘i cant.. seriously be thinking this about my bestfriend..’ she thought to herself, yoonchae nodded along to whatever megan was talking about, then pushed a strand of hair out of her face.
“..? yoonchae, are you even listening to me?” megan said, giggling a bit.
“..huh..? oh yeah, i am..” yoonchae said, a bit flustered
now they were entering their senior year of highschool, yoonchae knew she was running out of time to confess. she tried being obvious to megan- flirting with her any chance she got, sending her flowers every week.
but megan never noticed. she was too busy crushing on one of their highschools most sought after girls- Daniela Avanzini.
daniela was one of the schools top students- second to yoonchae, of course. her charisma and looks had people from every walk of life swooning over her, the problem was, it was clear daniela didnt reciprocate feelings for megan.
on july 2nd, the summer before senior year, and the day after danielas birthday, megan took her out of a date at some fancy michelin star restaurant.
“..here, birthday girl!” megan said, pushing danielas chair open for her to sit.
after ordering, the two engaged in some
small talk, it was almost going accordingly to megans plan.
“..so, daniela! let me just address the elephant in the room- the reason ive brought you here to this fancy restaurant was to ask you one thing, could you please go out with me..? or even allow me to court you?” megan said, fidgeting with her hands
moments passed, and the silence grew between them.
“..im sorry mega-“
“..its fine if you dont want to!-“
they both began at the same time
“sorry, go ahead..” megan said sheepishly.
“..listen, megan.. i dont have anything against you- its just that.. im not interested in you..” daniela said, pity evident on her face.
megan could feel the blood pulsing in her ears.. “..nonono! i totally get it.. its alright, i hope this doesnt affect our friendship..” she rambled- before daniela hushed her.
the curly haired girl stood up.. “..you would be doing me a favor by giving me that filipino girls number.. the one you hangout with.” with that, daniela briskly exited the restaurant.
megans heart dropped, the tears welling up in her eyes. the girl she has had her eyes set on for years now- rejected her. she shakenly asked for the check, and went to her car, her forehead rested on the steering wheel, tears silently rolling down her cheeks, the bouquet of roses she had got daniela sat untouched on the passenger seat besides her.
megan wiped her tears, and without thinking drove to yoonchaes house. she knocked on her door, and yoonchae, holding her cat oreo answered. “..yoonchae- *hic..* she.. she rejected me.” megan said, stumbling into the hallway of yoonchaes home. yoonchae wrapped her arms around megans shaking figure. “..shh.. calm down, megan.. tell me all about it in my room.” she said calmly, bringing megan to her bedroom.
megan sat on the edge of her bed, her vision blurry and her hands shaking.
“..breathe, megan.. inhale 1,2,3.. exhale..” yoonchae guided her, after calming down a bit, megan began talking..
“..she- she rejected me.. didnt even acknowledge my feelings..- and she-she asked for sophias number.. im so stupid- ive been crushing on her for years-“ the words fell out of megans mouth like water.
“..your not stupid.. love just blinds people, megan.. dont say that..” yoonchae said, rubbing circles on her hand. “..how about this, you can sleepover at my house tonight, and we can watch some movies? kay? you can wear my pajamas..” yoonchae suggested, seeing megan nod her head
she got megan some cherry sweatpants, and a “i <3 texas” shirt. “..here, get comfy, ill put on monster high. yoonchae hummed.
after a few episodes of monster high, megan seemed to be asleep, her arms wrapped around yoonchaes torso, and her head buried in her neck, snoring softly.
yoonchae hummed and turned off the tv, taking out her phone to text the girls
