(Story Spinoff W7D) Stefan Van Hauten's (From Within 7 Days) side of the story.
Falling in love with his bestfriend's girlfriend is probably one of the worst things that he ever had to deal with. Moving on from it was almost impossible, but one thin...
I have been staring at the elevator to my apartment for a while now. I'm still hoping she'd be upstairs, maybe taking some pillows to the guest room, not wanting to sleep beside me because she's still upset. I can take that, but- not having her here at all, might kill me. I finally found the courage to press up. Once I got to the apartment, all lights were still off. She's not home. I sat on the couch and just rested my back for a little. Tears fell on the side of my face-

Stefan: "Riley- let's get married. Let's just do it. Let's just forget about everything else- let's run away from all this."
The next day I drove really early to Riley's apartment, but then I found out from Chai that she chose to stay in a hotel for the mean time. I tried to ring her but she never picked up. I drove straight to the office in the hopes of seeing her there. I checked her office but she wasn't there- I sighed. I slowly turned my back but I was surprised to see her behind me.
Riley: "Do you need something?"

I lost all the words- I couldn't say anything, I was just staring at her.
Riley: "If- not, then do you mind if I go in? I really have a lot to finish- sa isang araw na yung presentation ko-"
Her eyes were still swollen. I held her face and gently rubbed my thumb on her cheek.
Stefan: "I just wanted to see you-"
She looked down and slowly removed my hand from her face.
Riley: "I need to work-"
I closed my eyes and just nodded. I stepped away from the door so she could go in- she smiled a little before entering her office. She closed the door right away, I just stood right there and rested my forehead on it.
Riley's POV:
Masakit makitang nahihirapan siya. Pero kung hindi ko titibayan ang loob ko, ako rin yung mahihirapan. Kailangan kong ayusin lahat- lalo na ang sarili ko. Ayokong isang araw, kainin nalang akong tuluyan ng insecurities ko.
