Months passed, and Ken slowly began to move on from his heartbreak. With the help and support of Angel, they grew closer as friends. However, Angel's feelings for Ken only intensified.
Mario noticed the change in Angel and couldn't help but question her.
"Angel, do you have a plan to confess to Ken?" Mario asked curiously.
"Honestly, yes. I want to confess my feelings to him. You've known that I've loved him since elementary school, Mario," Angel confessed.
Mario looked at Angel, understanding the depth of her emotions.
"All right, Angel. Good luck with your confession!" Mario said, patting her head affectionately.
Angel playfully pushed his hand away.
"Thanks for the good luck, but don't ruin my hair, Mario."
"Oh, fine, sorry. Don't get mad at me, Miss Angel," Mario said as he walked away from Angel.
Just as Angel was preparing to confess her feelings to Ken, another girl named Izzy entered his life. Angel caught Ken giving Izzy flowers, which left her heartbroken.
Curiosity got the better of her, and she confronted Ken about the mysterious girl.
"Ken, who is she?" Angel asked, a tinge of sadness in her voice.
"She's Izzy, Angel. I never believed in love at first sight, but because of Izzy, I now do," Ken replied with a smile.
Ken courted Izzy for several months, and eventually, Izzy said yes to being in a relationship with him. Angel didn't know what to feel anymore.
Envy consumed her as she saw Ken and Izzy together, yet she continued to support their relationship. Despite the pain she felt seeing Ken happy with someone else, Angel respected their love.
Ken started writing stories once again, but this time, Izzy became his inspiration. She was the muse behind his words, and Angel could only watch from the sidelines, feeling a mix of emotions.
Mario noticed Angel's gloominess and couldn't help but approach her.
"Angel, what's wrong? You seem so down," Mario said, concerned.
Angel remained silent, not giving Mario a response.
"Come on, Angel. Stop ignoring me. It feels like I'm talking to thin air," Mario said, lifting Angel's chin gently to make her look at him.
"It's nothing, Mario. Don't worry about it," Angel finally replied, her voice filled with sadness.
"You know, whenever you have a problem, Angel, I'm always here for you. Let me help," Mario insisted.
"Thank you, Mario. You've always been by my side, making me happy," Angel said, finally allowing herself to be comforted by his presence.
