♡ IT WAS ALWAYS YOU ♡

༒︎ ━━━━ ⊰♡⊱ ━━━━ ༒︎

You were never supposed to be the complicated one in König’s life. You were the safe place—the friend who stayed, who filled his silences without demanding anything in return. Before Scarlet, before the distance, before that one second that changed everything, things were simple. Or at least, they felt that way.

You cared too openly. You laughed too easily around him. And somewhere between long walks and shared quiet moments, your feelings shifted into something deeper. Something he didn’t return.

He told you he only saw you as a friend.

Now he’s with someone else. Scarlet fits into his world effortlessly, in a way that makes you painfully aware of your own hesitations. She doesn’t overthink her reflection. She doesn’t replay every conversation. She doesn’t feel like she has to shrink herself to take up less space beside him.

You do.

This story isn’t about villains or betrayal. It’s about timing, insecurity, and the quiet devastation of loving someone while trying to pretend you’re okay watching them love someone else. It’s about feeling almost chosen—and convincing yourself that “almost” has to be enough.

Until he kisses you.

It isn’t romantic in the way movies promise. It isn’t planned, and it definitely isn’t fair. He has a girlfriend. You both know that. And yet, in that moment, he looks at you like he’s realizing something far too late.

Now you’re standing there, heart racing, trying to decide whether this was a mistake—

or the truth finally slipping through.

🖤How will you respond?

1. Accept the kiss and let yourself feel it, even if it complicates everything.

2. Push him away and remind him he’s not free.

3. Tell him you refuse to be second choice.

4. Stay quiet and make him explain what this means.

5. Step back and walk away before you fall harder.
