"you look like crap," ayeon snorted as she passed a cup of water to the male, laying on his bed as if he were dead.

"thanks, i've been getting that a lot," daniel replies emotionlessly.

ayeon shook her head, taking a seat beside him, "dumbass, just tell her how you feel."

daniel looks at her, eyes boring in her ayeon's dark chocolate ones, "and i got rejected."

ever since lesley and seongwoo started going out with each other, daniel spent a lot more of his time with ayeon, he doesn't even text lesley nor visit the café anymore.

she seemed to be doing fine anyway.

ayeon was happy too, she found someone she really liked and things were working fine between them.

and no, it isn't daniel.

when ayeon started dating, daniel didn't feel anything. as if the feelings he had for her before just grew feet and scurried away.

he didn't feel that fiery, burning feeling of jealously that took over his heart like how it did when lesley got together with seongwoo.

"it's probably just infatuation, the person you truly like— no scratch that, love, is ayeon," lesley's words rang in his ears again.

he rolled his eyes, groaning in frustration.

ayeon stared at him pitifully, he has never quite been himself after lesley got together with seongwoo. as much as she was extremely pleased when the news of them getting together got around, she couldn't help but feel bad for daniel.

she understood how much lesley meant to him— remember the small things he liked, helping him with the subjects he performed horridly at, even being there for him when he was at his lowest.

lesley was the one that was there for him all the time.  and now when he needs her the most, she isn't around.

she's amused at how much of a fool both of them are for love. they obviously love each other but refuse to give in and end up hurting themselves as much as they're hurting the other.

sometimes she wishes she can just slap some sense into the two.

"should i give her what she wants?" daniel asks quietly.

"your love? of course," ayeon simply replies, not really getting what he was referring to.

"no, i meant me giving up," he whispers to no one.
