The Unspoken Heart's Journey

Changing Tides

Chapter 5: "Changing Tides"

The girl couldn't hit a single shot (frustrated). Her confidence shattered into pieces. She made 50 more attempts, then finally sighed, "That's it! I've made up my mind; I'm going to purchase the entire shop, no, scratch that, the entire game center. I am buying it.".

The guy suggested, "Why not buy the entire mall?" The girl agreed with a mischievous grin.

But suddenly, she remembered the mall's name: "Casinta Mall," which was, in fact, owned by her company (facepalm). They had left the place. Despite it all, there was still daylight. The girl dragged the guy to a beech where they shared street food and watched the sunset together.

As they both played in the water, gazing into each other's eyes, and nothing happened.

(Indeed, nothing happened; after all, it is not a k-drama.)

Later, when he dropped her off at her house, he apologized, blaming himself for the day's mishaps. She smiled and replied, "It's fine, after all, we had fun. Right?"
He smiled back, and then the taxi started and left her house, heading towards his home. He gazed at the moon, thinking about her and smiling.

(And then he started thinking about how, back in time, he was nothing more than a nuisance to everyone. Everyone used to hate him and call him trash. No one wanted him, not even a single person, because he was an orphan. Yet, Anya was the one who made Evaan feel precious, and that's how he got a crush on her. But after some time, a cute couple adopted him, and yet he had to move to another city, which is how he lost every contact with Anya.
She was the one who gave him hope to live, and her current response showed him that she hadn't even changed a bit.)

Back in her room, she thought about Evaan. She realized that she was beginning to like him, at least a little (contemplative).

Some time later, her mom walked into her room and asked, "So, how was your date, dear?" Anya pretended to be annoyed but was secretly happy.

A little while later, Anya chuckled to herself, thinking, "Well, he is kind of cute, I have to admit" (smiling).

So, finally, I've crafted a chapter without leaving the plot hanging at the end, as per your request. Although no one in reality demanded it, remember, the story has many chapters yet to unfold. Until then, keep guessing.
