Dani sat at her desk, staring at her phone screen with frustration. She had hung up the phone with the "four heavenly kings". She couldn't believe they would ask her to do that, to just put her feelings aside like they didn't matter.
"Is this some kind of joke?" Dani muttered to herself, her anger growing. "How can they be so selfish?"
She slammed her phone on her desk and slumped back in her chair. As she looked around the library, she saw other students working diligently on their studies, and she couldn't help but feel like she was the only one struggling with her emotions.
Dani didn't know who to talk to about how she was feeling. She had always been close to Ji Ho and Chun Young, but their request had made her feel isolated and alone. However, she asked them the same thing years ago. Is this how they felt like? She was so lost in her thoughts that she didn't even notice Ruda approaching her.
"Hey, Dani," Ruda said, sitting down in the chair next to her. "What's wrong? You look upset."
Dani hesitated for a moment before she decided to open up to Ruda. "Ji Ho and Chun Young asked me to ignore them for no reason" she said, her voice quivering with emotion. "I can't believe they would ask me to do that. I don't even know what happened and I couldn't even tell them about me fake dating ban yeo ."
Ruda listened intently, her eyes filled with understanding. "I'm sorry, Dani. I don't think you should tell them" he said softly.
Dani nodded, tears threatening to spill from her eyes. She'd probably wait until they talked to her first.
"Thanks for listening," Dani said, wiping away her tears. "I really appreciate it."
"Anytime," Ruda replied with a smile. "That's what friends are for."
As Dani sat there, she realized that she didn't feel so alone anymore. Ruda had always been by her side, but now she saw her in a new light. She saw how caring and compassionate Ruda could be, and she couldn't help but feel drawn to her.
Little did she know, this was only the beginning of a new chapter in their relationship.
