Today was the day alloted for presenting. Minghao and Jun showcase their project, something they've spent days on, working hard for.

"Good one, Minghao and Jun!"

Mr. Lee declares enthusiastically, with his famous smile. Jun and Hao earn a high grade.

Minghao asks Jun out for dinner just to celebrate their success.

"Shall we head to the local cafe? I heard they're doing a promotion for their pasta and rice meals."

Who was Jun to say no?

"Well let's go then."

And before Minghao knows it, his hand is grabbed by Jun and they're dashing to the cafe with a smile plastered on their faces.

After their celebratory dinner, Minghao and Jun go on a few dates the following two weeks and it works well.

But deep inside, Jun knows that he will never love the Minghao of reality the way he loves the Xu Minghao he's created inside his head.

Because despite the Minghao inside of him feeling so real, he was everything Jun isn't, and everything Jun isn't, is non-existant.

And Jun guesses that we, as people, learn to love the things we can't have.
