maybe, just maybe, i had a chance with him.

like maybe a one out of twenty forty-eight chances.

i HAD.

i don't know what happened now, though.

he doesn't talk to me as much as before.

he doesn't ask me for anything (not that he needs anything).

maybe, just maybe, he already knows.

maybe i lost my chance.

maybe it slipped out.

"Minhee, I need to tell you something."

"...sure?"

"Okay...I just need to let you know that I really trust you and if you let this out you will be meat for Artemis," Mae threatened, eyes narrowing.

"I won't! I promise!" Minhee said, crossing her heart.

"I like someone, alright?" Mae said after a 2 second silence.

"Wait wait wait, Mae...is it who I think it is?!"

"Who do you think it is?" Mae asked mockingly at Minhee's revelation.

"Ohmygod you like Jasper," Minhee said confidently. 

"No."

"Yes you do." Mae turned away, and Minhee cupped Mae's face, squishing her cheeks.

"Do you like him?" she whispered softly.

"Minfu lego!" Mae yelled.

"What?" Minhee asked, removing her hands.

"I asked you to let go. Anyways, I...yeah...I like him."

"Well, I'm not surprised. Besides, he's not bad for you."

"But Minhee, he totally likes you. So do you like him back?"

"Of course not, Mae. But just today, just today, I had a tiny crush on him. His outfit was on point," she replied, her eyes lighting up.

"Yeah, he looked cute," Mae said.

"But I don't think I actually like him, at least not romantically. And you can't say he likes me when he clearly hates me."

"...Minhee..."

"I had a crush on his outfit...how weird is that? So I'm telling you, he's all yours."

"Minhee, if I stopped liking him, and he liked you, would you go out with him?" Mae asked.

"Obviously not, Mae. That would hurt your feelings."

"I'm glad you support me and Jasper..."

"Of course! Team Jasper forever!"
