He won't even look my way.
"I don't deserve you Min. I am not the man for you." His voice is surprisingly calm. Just like the ocean before it turns savage. Eerie. Deadly.
Breath seems to find it difficult to escape my throat.
"Don't do this! Not like this. You're my best friend. We love each other. We deserve to be together. Please!! WOULD YOU LOOK AT ME?" I am reduced to begging now.
His dark eyes are dead. No emotion. No sadness, no regret.
"You're wrong. YOU are in love. I never was. When I tell you the truth; you will run screaming from me, and my love." He inches closer to me, runs a hand over my wet cheeks. "And Min, never ever say that we deserve each other."
"Wha-what do you mean?"
"You better sit down."
