They remained penpals, although they both have lingering feelings towards each other, they still remained just friends.

I can't wait to move on from this feeling, I wanna meet you and talk to you face to face.
-Misfortune
She didn't think much about her letter but it made Mister Fortune wonder,
Same here, I hope to meet you soon^^
-Mister Fortune
What he replied was contradicting what he feels, he thought it was selfish of him to think this way but he couldn't help himself. He feels glum whenever he walks passes her and she doesn't look his way but it is mixed with relief. He always watches her from afar, always trying to call for her but she never heard him calling.
Come to think of it, we've been writing each other letters for a while now and I still haven't gotten your name hahaha
-Misfortune
Do you mean Misfortune wasn't actually your name? :0 jkjk hahaha Tell me yours first then I'll tell you mine ;)
-Mister Fortune
I have an idea! Let's hold our introduction, for now. I wanna tell you my name when the time is right.
-Misfortune
Ohh alright alright, I'm looking forward to that day ^^
-Mister Fortune

Time passed by and things started to get busy for both of them, but their letters remained the same. While walking around the campus, Mister Fortune spotted Misfortune from afar. He walked towards her and stopped midway.
"Miss Fortune!" He called, although he knows that he won't receive any reply.
But to his surprise, he did receive a reply.
"Are you calling me?" She asked but he was speechless, she walked towards him and asked again. "Mister, are you calling me?"
"Sorry I think I got the wrong person." He walked away but she halted him, "Wait! you got it right, people call me Misfortune here."
"Is there something you need from me?" She asked, still having no clue who he is. He slowly turned around, and his heart sank when he saw her eyes looking directly into his.
"Mister Fortune! Is that you?"She burst into joy, she finally met the man she once loved. "Can I give you a hug?" She requested, and he nodded in reply.
She opened her arms and threw herself at him, a tear escaped from his eyes but he brushed it off immediately before she sights.
He remained in love with her while she fell out of love, "You moved on..." He forced a smile.
"It seems so... I'm happy I finally get to see you!" She replied.
"Right!" she cleared her throat, "My name is Elise, Elise Ambrose." She gave her hand for a handshake.
He took her hand and replied, "Blake Williams." He introduced himself.
And so they shook hands,
I am finally able to see him...
She thought, "Since when did you move on?" He asked, "I'm not sure, I didn't even realize." She replied with a smile, he kept wondering how long has he been in love alone.
But in the end, he chose to stay in love.
Though it was clear to him that the feeling is not mutual, he still chose to cling to the possibility that their fortunes are finally letting them be. Even if that's not the case and she truly fell out of love, he wanted to make a way for her to love him again.
"I won't give up on you..." He whispered with a smile
