Chapter 64

As Jaehyun said, not long after the start of the new semester, Mingyu confessed his love to Momo.

Mingyu's confession was unique. He hung a beautiful gift box on the bookshelf along Momo's usual route back to her dorm, and scattered pink rose petals on the ground, making it seem like she had entered Alice's Wonderland as she walked along the path.

Dressed in a white shirt, Mingyu stood at the end of the road, gazing at her from afar.

Perhaps because she had been forewarned, Momo did not seem particularly excited. On the contrary, she was quite calm.

Even though her heart was beating faster, it was probably because of the onlooking and cheering crowd, and had little to do with the handsome boy in the white shirt across from her.

Momo walked steadily, taking a long time to traverse this short rose-petal path.

She even wondered if Jaehyun had been involved in setting up these romantic scenes.

Would he have helped his brother plan this?

Momo took a deep breath and came to stand in front of Mingyu.

Mingyu was just like his name, with a sunny warmth about him. His smiling face could make people feel especially cosy.

This kind of simple nice guy didn't easily drive girls crazy with obsession, but he had somehow attracted Momo's affection.

She liked the warm power he exuded.

If this had been a relationship founded on mutual liking from the very beginning, perhaps Momo would have felt extremely happy at this moment.

However, in the half minute of silence after Mingyu asked her "could you please be with me", the fragments that flashed through Momo's mind were all about another boy.

Everything that boy had done for her and the restrained yet ardent words he had spoken to her -

"As long as I'm not stealing my brother's girlfriend, whatever you ask, even if it's a knife mountain or flame sea, I'll do it for you."

"If you can't forget him, how could I have a chance?"

"Before you agree to him... consider me, okay? I'm really good to you."

"Mingyu doesn't cherish you, but I do."

...

She didn't know when it started, but every word and every heartbroken expression from that boy had already been deeply imprinted in her mind and fused with her flesh and blood.

"I already have someone I like."

Momo looked up into Mingyu's clear dark eyes.

In the past, she had never dared to look him in the eye. Whenever their eyes met, her blood pressure would rise and her heartbeat would race excitedly.

But now, she could finally gaze calmly into his eyes without any ripples in her heart.

"I'm sorry, Mingyu. I can't accept your confession."

Having said that, Momo immediately stepped aside and hurried away.

This dramatic one-sided crush had matured Momo greatly. She now understood that in this relationship where she had shed countless tears and suffered much bitterness, the only one who had been moved was herself.

From beginning to end, the one Mingyu liked had never been her. He had only thought that he should make her happy because he was too kind-hearted, that was all.
