Hello! This is going to be a NozoEli again but with slight NozoXNico in adult/college AU— post Muse. This is inspired by the song, BEST FRIEND by iKon (There songs are amazing ~! Yes, it's Kpop. Notes at the end.) I suggest you listen to the song, it's really good. Read the end for notes.

TimeOfLight: Wow this is so sad. This broke my heart

A/N: Really? I didn't expect to be really sad lol.

I wrote down the notes humming some notes, listening on my phone that was set away and my ears covered with a muffled earphones. I strummed the guitar until the music stopped and a ringtone popped up.

I hurriedly got up from my seat and reached for my nightstand for my ringing phone. I picked up as soon as I realised who the caller was, "N-Nozomi? Why are you calling so late at night? Did something happen?" I said worriedly, I heard the caller on the otherside sniffing but slightly laughing.

"Can you let me in...? It's freezin' out here, hehe~"

"W-Wha? Don't tell me your standing out of my apartment right now." I got off the chair and scurried herself toward the door, I opened it. The person I saw was you, my dear highschool crush and bestfriend— crying and smells like alcohol.

"What the— You shouldn't be drinking late at night, I'm gonna be worried if this is gonna happen often!" My azure-blue eyes sadly said, pushing you inside to warm yourself up.

"Wanna talk...?" I said, filling a glass cup with water.

You sniffed and put your legs ontop of the couch, while you sobbed with your face on your knees. "H-Hey, don't cry, you can always tell me what's wrong. T-That's what friends are for!" I said, with hesistant choke at the end. You looked up, "Elicchi..."

"Don't burden it on yourself." I sat beside you and handed the cup. I felt something tingly by the way you called my name.

"Is it really okay...?"

"Yup, you can stay the night too by the way." I replied, waving a hand for reassurance.

"I-It's about Nicocchi...*hic*" You darted your eyes away, wincing a bit in pain from the soreness. I felt myself froze for abit, my eyes closed to push the inner turmoil I felt coming. I breathe, "Oh...Did something happen?" You nodded slowly, "Yeah...We fought."

"About what...?"

"..." No answer, I sighed, "It's okay if you don't want to tell me. Just to let you know, I'm always there for you. Don't be afraid to rely on me. I'll be by your side." You smiled softly and leaned on my shoulder. I felt like bubbling up. Why did you tell me with your sweet, sweet voice of yours—

"You are my bestfriend."

Yeah, I don't mind if I'm just a person who you can lean on.

I'm just a bestfriend.

Passing the room, I saw you, I stayed behind the wall looking at you. Magnificent, smiling happily, chirping loudly— not with me— you stared at her lovingly, holding her hand. You both made up. A look you never once gave to me— but so beautiful to me? Wanting to call your name out?

The wall was like a line that seperated us.

I try to comfort myself and ran away with tears like the fool I am, thinking we could be together on an island.

I'm only a bestfriend.

I sat on one of the benches in the park. I thought how the days past by from highschool to college. I thought of how you could be so beautiful, like you were the one. It was like a real life dream to see you yet it's a sad dream? You don't love me back but likes someone else, a horrible love triangle drama. It's better that way, right? I feel good enough to be by your side.

I want to be selfish, but you wouldn't like that would you? I wish I could throw away all my regrets.

Every night, I worry about you. Every night, I wonder what you are doing. I felt happy on that day when you stayed the night. Why do you have to be like my dream girl— everything I wanted— but you aren't meant for me? It's hard to pretend, I'm just a good friend when we're together. It feels like I comitted a sin when I'm with you.

"Elicchi! There you are!" I heard someone calling my name. You're embarassing me, but I don't mind—

You tripped and I caught you when you fell into my arms.

Everything really goes wrong when I'm with you— that's why I'm your bestfriend.

I walked besides you in the park where you found me. If you held my hand like you held hers, the world would shine beautifully like you. I love your laugh, I just wanna tell you I love you. If there's no one by your side, would you look at me like you do to her? In the end, we're just friends.

"Whatcha' thinking? You're thinking deep." You asked.

Thinking about your just a dream but, I would say, you're a pretty but a sad dream— Telling I love you.

"Mhmm, something I'll tell you someday."

I'm okay to be the person you can rely on.

"What is that suppose to mean?"

"Nothing," I said with a smile, I looked at you, an island without a place to go.

"You are my bestfriend."

The end! I really felt like writing NozoEli when I was listening to this song. If you can't tell, it's about unrequited love and about being bestfriends. (Well what I'm guessing from the lyrics.) The song is so upbeat but sad D: First time hearing it, you thought it would be a happy song. Lyrics says otherwise lmao.
