Adore Khun Jae Like Crazy!

Chapter 3 Disrespect

Salee confessed to the pen she'd stolen that she once dated Best because he looked so much like his older sister.

But Salee had no idea that the two were siblings.

At that time, Salee's heart broke when Veetara graduated from high school while she was just entering her third year there. It meant she'd no longer be able to secretly admire her Jae as she had for the past two years. Salee ended up isolating herself for a long time before finally deciding to follow in Veetara's footsteps. Veetara wasn't only her first love but also a role model for living a good life.

I want to be as talented as Khun Jae.

So, she studied hard to get into the Arts-English program in high school. She then took up volleyball and ran for the president of the Red House when she was in grade 11.

And she never, ever, no matter what, fell in love with anyone as deeply as she loved her Jae Vee.

She only wavered when she met a boy from another school who reminded her so much of Veetara. She never suspected that Best or Monchit was Veetara's younger brother because they had completely different last names. She only found out later that the siblings lived separately after their parents divorced.

Best lived with their father, while Veetara lived with their mother.

Salee admitted that she was swayed by Best's appearance, which reminded her of Veetara every time they met. At that time, she was too young to know that she was using him as a substitute for the person she missed every day.

She met him for the first time at a tutoring school.

He approached her first, and soon, she softened to the lingering memories of Veetara.

Salee once optimistically thought that maybe Best was her soulmate, like in some novel. Otherwise, he wouldn't look so much like Veetara in a male version. But it turned out she didn't get what she expected. Besides his looks and skin, nothing about Best could compare to her Jae Vee. She ended up breaking up and getting back together with him three times because, despite giving him chances, Best never improved himself.

She warned him since high school that he should focus on his studies or at least find a goal in life. But the boy replied, 'It's fine as it is now. Why think so hard?' Being the only beloved son of a wealthy printing business owner, it wasn't surprising that Best was complacent, not worried about his future, and just asked his father for money every day. Salee didn't see it as wrong since that money was rightfully his inheritance. But she wasn't impressed by someone who lacked enthusiasm for life.

He was sluggish.

Her Jae Vee was energetic.

He was stubborn about learning.

Her Jae Vee constantly improved herself.

He was lazy.

Her Jae Vee was always busy doing something.

He wasn't Jae Vee.

So she didn't love him.

Therefore, the third breakup was the final one. Salee would never go back to him, especially after she found out that the 'Jae-jae' her lousy ex-boyfriend was talking to on the phone was that woman.

The woman she didn't know when she'd stop loving and thinking about.

Salee broke up with him on the day he intended to introduce her to his father for the first time, hoping to use respect as a tool to prolong their rocky relationship. But she saw through it and refused to get out of the car, breaking up with him right there. At first, Best wouldn't accept it and threw a tantrum like a child until that woman walked out of the big house, looking annoyed. Salee was stunned, speechless, while her heart raced.
