Fall in Love

I hurriedly went to the field without paying attention to the surroundings. Today was no different, there was a basketball practice underway.

Though I wasn’t a basketball member, I found myself drawn to the field because of the boy I had feelings for — Rigel. Rigel is my friend, in fact, we are part of the same group that consists of me, Rigel, and Kirana. We’ve been friends since our junior high school days. Our friendship was a bond that had stood the test of time, filled with laughter, shared experiences, and support for each other.

As the months passed, I realized that I have developed strong feelings for Rigel, feelings that go beyond just friendship. But the more I thought about it, the more scared I became. I feared that confessing my feelings could jeopardize the close bond we share, and I didn’t want to risk losing him as a friend.

Once I arrived, I settled down on the sidelines, scanning the field to find Rigel. Ah, there he was! He looked so tall and impressive from a distance, effortlessly putting the ball in the hoop with skill. Watching him play made my heart skip a beat. I couldn’t help but think how incredible it would be to have the courage to confess my feelings to him. Suddenly, I was startled by Kirana’s voice breaking my focus and it seemed she noticed my intense gaze directed at Rigel.

“Hey” Kirana’s voice caught my attention.

“You startled me,” I scolded her lightly.

“Hehe, sorry. You just look really focused. Who are you looking at?” she asked, seemingly knowing the answer already.

“I’m watching the ones practicing,” I replied, trying not to sound too obvious.

“Who? Rigel?” Kirana asked with a knowing smile.

I felt my cheeks flush with embarrassment. “How do you know?” I asked nervously.

Kirana grinned proudly. “Come on, I’m your best friend. You don’t need to tell me, it’s obvious.”

I shot her a playful cynical look. “If you say so.”

For a moment, there was silence between us as we continued to watch the players on the court. Rigel was now wiping his sweat with a towel, and I couldn’t help but admire him even more.

“Na,” I called softly, not taking my eyes off Rigel.

“Yeah?” Kirana responded.

“Answer me honestly,” I said, adjusting my sitting position to face her. “Do you have a relationship with Rigel?”

Kirana’s expression turned nervous, and she stammered, “What? No! Where did you get that information? It’s not true!”

I decided to be direct, as honesty was crucial to our friendship. “Just be honest with me. If you’re with Rigel, I need to know. It’ll help me move on and let go of these feelings.”

Tears welled up in Kirana’s eyes, and she finally admitted, “I’m sorry… I didn’t dare to say. Yes, I’m dating Rigel.”

A pang of sadness hit my heart, but I didn’t want to make things difficult for Kirana. “It’s okay,” I managed a sweet smile. “I’m trying my best to let go of my feelings for Rigel, especially now that I know the truth. I don’t want to be the one to come between you two.”

Kirana’s emotions overwhelmed her, and she hugged me tightly. “You’re the best friend anyone could have,” she whispered gratefully.

“Let me go, your prince charming is coming,” I pointed out, trying to compose myself. “Hello, Rigel.”

“Hi,” he greeted back. “Na, let’s go.”

Kirana nodded hesitantly. “I’m going first.”

I nodded, watching them walk away together. As they moved towards the canteen, I took a deep breath, trying to process my emotions. It hurt to see Rigelwith someone else, especially Kirana, but I knew I had to be strong for the sake of our friendship.

Over the next few weeks, I focused on spending time with other friends and finding new interests to occupy my mind. It wasn’t easy, and there were moments when my feelings for Rigel resurfaced, but I reminded myself of the decision I had made to respect Kirana’s relationship.

One day, as I was engrossed in a book at the library, someone tapped my shoulder. Looking up, I saw Rigelstanding there with a friendly smile. “Hey, mind if I join you?”

My heart skipped a beat, but I managed to keep my composure. “Sure, go ahead,” I replied, gesturing to the empty seat across from me.

As he settled down, Rigel spoke softly, “I wanted to talk to you about something.”

I braced myself, unsure of what he wanted to discuss. “What is it?” I asked, trying to sound nonchalant.

He looked serious for a moment before continuing, “I want to apologize. I didn’t know about your feelings for me when I started dating Kirana. I hope I haven’t caused you any pain.”

Surprised by his honesty, I appreciated his straightforwardness. “Thank you for apologizing, Rigel. It means a lot to me.”

He sighed, running a hand through his hair. “I didn’t want to hurt you or our friendship. Kirana told me everything, and I realized that I unintentionally contributed to this situation.”

“It’s not your fault,” I reassured him. “Feelings are complicated, and you can’t control who you like or don’t like.”

He nodded in agreement. “You’re right, but I still want you to know that I value our friendship a lot. You mean a great deal to both Haechan and me, and I don’t want this to come between us.”

I mustered a smile, touched by his sincerity. “I appreciate that, Gel. Our friendship is important to me too, and I’m glad you care about it.”

From that moment, I felt a sense of closure. Rigel’s honesty and concern for our friendship helped me put my feelings into perspective. It was time to move forward and cherish the bond I had with him and Kirana.

In the following weeks and months, I focused on nurturing my friendships and pursuing my interests with newfound vigor. As time passed, the intensity of my feelings for Rigel diminished, leaving behind a deep sense of friendship. Life moved on, and though I still admired Rigel’s basketball skills and enjoyed spending time with him and Kirana, the pain of unrequited love had faded. Instead, I cherished the connection we shared as friends and felt genuinely happy for them as a couple.

The field where it all began became a place of fond memories and personal growth. While my feelings for Rigel had been one-sided, the experience taught me valuable lessons about love, friendship, and the strength to let go.

And with each passing day, I found myself looking forward to new adventures and possibilities that life had in store for me.
