A sharp pain went through the boy's heart. His biggest fear came true. He had let her down.

_
A lie. She waited for at least two hours for him. Worrying. Scared for his safety.
_
xxx_ji:

unknown:

Jungwon's hands froze, his face dropping.
_

xxx_ji:

The girl felt uneasy talking about his feelings and his relationship with someone else.
She wasn't jealous.
Liking someone was just something so foreign to her. Let alone loving someone. After all, it was something that she couldn't relate to. Something that she didn't believe in.
_
unknown:
do you really think we are dating?
xxx_ji:
the whole world does
xxx_ji:
why? are you not?
unknown:
it's complicated
xxx_ji:

xxx_ji:

unknown:

xxx_ji:

xxx_ji:
sorry, i have to take over my colleague's shifts
xxx_ji:
i will be too busy the next days
_
They both knew it all too well.
No matter how hard they tried to pretend as if nothing was wrong...Things have turned weird between them.
Days would pass by without any of them ever reaching out to the other.
Why? It just felt wrong to both of them.
The boy felt bad for lying to her, while she on the other hand felt like she had to hold herself back now that she knew he had a partner.
That's when one day, things changed completely.
