'I love you, I love you, I love you', the words that have been clawing at his mind recently- only ever around his best friend.

Rane, that one English major that happens to be your best friend. he's a chill guy, all things considered. you two flirt back and forth constantly, but he's not or anything.

..no, definitely not. there's no way.

so what if he writes you love letters constantly? he makes sure you never actually receive them. plus, everyone writes a note that borders on being an entire novel for their friend at least once in their life, right?

It wasn't like he intended to drop the note next to the trash can as he walked out of the lesson hall- and he most certainly didn't intend for you- the subject of said note- to pick it up.

he had no idea that you had even picked it up, not until he leaned over your shoulder and watched as you read it.
