Y/n and Zack were walking side by side, taking a stroll in the park. Zack was typically known for his rude demeanor towards others, but in reality, he was a genuinely kind and polite person.
This was one of the qualities that attracted Y/n to him. However, Y/n was aware that Zack had feelings for someone else, his childhood friend Mira. This realization made Y/n feel jealous and somewhat guilty for having a crush on Zack.
Whenever Zack was around Mira, he transformed into an affectionate and devoted companion, almost like a puppy. He would do anything for her and always treated her with great warmth and friendliness.
In contrast, when he was with Y/n, he acted more like his usual self and didn't exhibit the same level of affection and attention as he did with Mira. Despite these mixed emotions, Y/n remained supportive of Zack, even though she held romantic feelings for him.
But before Y/n knew it, Mira spotted them from a distance and hurriedly made her way over to where Y/n and Zack were walking. As soon as Mira approached, Zack's demeanor noticeably shifted, and he entered his "puppy state" almost instinctively. He abandoned his conversation with Y/n and eagerly went over to Mira.
"Mira! Hey!" Zack greeted Mira with enthusiasm, a broad smile spreading across his face. His eyes sparkled with a combination of excitement and adoration. "What brings you here? Are you enjoying the park?"
Mira chuckled, clearly accustomed to Zack's unwavering attention. "Hey, Zack! Yeah, just taking a break from studying and thought I'd get some fresh air. I didn't expect to run into you two here."
Y/n couldn't help but feel a pang of jealousy and sadness, witnessing the immediate shift in Zack's behavior. However, they managed to hide those emotions behind a warm smile and polite greetings.
"Hey, Mira," Y/n greeted, trying to sound casual. "Nice to see you here too. Enjoying your day off?"
Mira nodded, her attention mostly focused on Zack. "Definitely! It's a much-needed break. So, what have you guys been up to?"
Y/n glanced at Zack, who was engrossed in conversation with Mira, his voice filled with genuine enthusiasm. It was clear that Zack's attention was solely fixed on his childhood friend, as if he had completely forgotten about Y/n's presence.
"We were just taking a stroll in the park," Y/n replied, keeping their tone light. "Enjoying the weather and each other's company."
Mira's eyes softened as she observed Zack, her voice laced with fondness. "That's so sweet. You two always have a great time together."
Y/n nodded, their smile masking the bittersweet feeling within. "Yeah, we do. Zack is a great friend."
As the conversation continued between Zack and Mira, Y/n couldn't help but feel a sense of longing mixed with a tinge of resignation. It was evident that Zack's affections were reserved for Mira, and Y/n couldn't compete with the bond they shared.
Despite the complicated emotions stirring inside, Y/n chose to remain supportive and keep their feelings hidden. They continued walking alongside Zack and Mira, silently rooting for Zack's happiness, even if it meant not being the one by his side.
As the trio continued their walk together, Y/n couldn't help but notice that Zack and Mira were engrossed in their own conversation, seemingly oblivious to her presence. It seemed as though they had completely forgotten that Y/n was there with them. Feeling a mix of hurt, jealousy, and envy, Y/n decided to slow down her pace, allowing a growing distance to form between them.
Y/n's heart sank as she observed Zack and Mira, their laughter and animated gestures painting a vivid picture of their deep connection. It became clear to Y/n that they were sharing a special moment together, one that she could only long for from afar. With a heavy heart, she made the difficult decision to silently step back and let them have their time alone.
Without uttering a single word, Y/n slowly started to walk behind Zack and Mira, deliberately distancing herself. She tried to hide the pain that was gnawing at her heart, forcing a smile on her face even though her emotions were tearing her apart from the inside.
As Y/n walked away, a whirlwind of conflicting emotions swirled within her. The envy she felt towards Mira was accompanied by a deep longing for Zack's affection. Every step she took only intensified the jealousy that had taken hold of her.
She couldn't help but question her own worth and wonder why she wasn't enough for Zack. Doubt crept into her mind, making her question if she had misread their connection all along. The weight of unrequited feelings pressed heavily upon her as tears threatened to spill from her eyes.
Feeling the need for comfort and a distraction from her turbulent emotions, Y/n decided to reach out to her friend Daniel. She took out her phone and composed a text message, asking him if he was available to hang out together."Hey Daniel," Y/n typed, her fingers trembling slightly. "I was wondering if you're free to hang out today. I could really use some company and a friendly face."
Within moments, Daniel replied, displaying his usual warmth and concern for Y/n's well-being.
"Hey Y/n! Of course, I'm here for you. Let's meet up. How about grabbing a coffee at our favorite spot? It'll be a good chance to catch up."
Y/n's heart lightened a little, grateful for Daniel's unwavering support. She quickly responded, expressing her appreciation for his understanding.
"Thank you, Daniel. Coffee sounds perfect. I'll meet you at the usual place in half an hour."
As Y/n made her way to the café, a mix of relief and anticipation flooded her. She knew that spending time with Daniel would provide a welcome respite from the complexities of her feelings for Zack. Daniel had always been a reliable and comforting presence, someone she could openly confide in without fear of judgment.
When Y/n arrived at the café, she spotted Daniel already waiting at their favorite table, a warm smile on his face. They exchanged a heartfelt greeting, the weight of unspoken emotions palpable in the air.
Daniel gently asked, "How are you holding up, Y/n? What's been going on?"
Y/n took a moment to collect her thoughts, allowing herself to be vulnerable in Daniel's presence. She shared the details of her encounter with Zack and Mira in the park, emphasizing her conflicting emotions and the pain of unrequited feelings.
