The Lover I Have Cultivated Since ChildhoodChapter 1 My Gay Childhood Sweetheart?
I went over to my childhood friend's place to retrieve something I'd left behind.
By accident, I overheard a conversation between him and another man.
"Stuck, damn it!"
"What should we do? Want me to help?"
"Sure, come on over!"
"Get lost. Just get stuck there."
I clamped my hand over my mouth, eyes wide as saucers.
The guy I had a crush on was gay!
1.
I stood frozen outside his room, reeling from what I'd overheard.
Who would have thought that the guy I'd been secretly pining for all these years was gay?
My heart sank as I processed the information. Even though it was an unrequited crush, it still stung.
I thought, "Well, if he's already with someone, I guess I should move on.
There's no use hanging on to a lost cause."
I turned to leave, wanting to give them their privacy.
Just as I was about to head out, the door swung open.
I turned around and saw a tall, striking man with a chiseled face and an icy demeanor walking out.
I thought to myself, "Damn, he's ridiculously good-looking.
Too bad he's gay too.
Why do all the handsome guys have to be taken these days?"
