It was in the middle of the night...more precisely 1 to 2 am in the morning. A faint sound of a foot step, can't even be heard by anyone...a woman just stepped out of her room, walking downstairs for a cup of water.

'hah...shit why can't I fall asleep though?'

She slightly thinks that inside her head. And suddenly, memories of what happened earlier that day came flashing back into her mind.

The face of the man that she used to love before... actually she still has those feelings of 'love' to that man, honestly...

But when she realised that, She quickly shook her head, trying to get rid of the thought before putting the glass down back at the sink.

"Just what the hell am I thinking?.."

She said almost inaudibly to herself, and after that she made her way up to her room again. And suddenly she notices something...

One of the guests room doors was slightly open that night, there's a slight gap there...

'Hmm? Isn't that... Chawarin's room?'

She said that inside her head. Yup, that's right. This girl was no one else but Lia and now she slowly makes her way to Chawarin's room...

'is he still not asleep yet? It was already so late at night...'

She thought again, but as she was about to get closer to the door, she stopped her tracks midway...

'What am I doing? This is really inappropriate to suddenly peak in somebody's room at night..'

She thought again and quickly turned to her back, about to walk away when she accidentally heard it...

"It was the thing between me and Lia..."

As she heard that sentence faintly, she instantly got stunned.

'isn't that... Zee's voice?'

She thinks in her head again, she really wants to walk away as she knows that eavesdropping on someone's conversation is indeed inappropriate...but she just can't help herself from her curiosity...

So she just stood there...as she heard it again...

"As you see...the situation between me and Lia right now was not good right? Just like what I told you before...and it was all because of me...if I was not a coward and just opened up myself to her in the first place...I believe our relationship right now was still as good as before... instead with that stupid mindset of mind, I thought keeping things from her would be a great idea...but god I was wrong...I was keeping everyone out of my life with this action of mine right, now.."

As she heard what Zee said earlier...she almost can't believe her ears...she didn't know that this is what Zee felt all this time...

"I'm such a pathetic loser right? Hahaha, now you know...how I was actually a very weak person...that was easily defeated by his own action...I can't even get over my own past..nor can I do the simplest thing in a relationship... Honesty is all it takes and I can't even do that to Lia...and it's all because I was afraid that she would leave me... I thought, if I tell her how I feel every time I am down...she might think that I was such a weak person and leave me...what a cowardly kind of mindset. I was ashamed, it's the truth. And it was a shame...that I just realized it now. And now that she truly leaves me... what's there to leave? Even regretting it now is useless"

And somehow she felt moved...and for some reason she felt something in her heart as well... it's just...her heart just softened, also there was a hint of pain in her heart when Zee said those words there...
