"I'm so sorry, I think... This won't work out."
I was dumbfounded.
What?
"Cop, what do you mean?"
"I thought my brother is now ready to accept me. I was.. uhm.. honestly.. I was even really glad that he invited you.. hahaaha.. I guess I'm wrong."
"Cop, it's fine. I'll make it work out. I told you I'll work hard or harder for you----"
"I'm so sorry Tee--"
Shit! Here he goes. Whenever this person that I love is hurt and insecure, he'll feel dejected of himself and reject everyone around him. It's sad that he always end up pushing people away, if only he knows how important he is to everyone.
"--let's not meet each other again."
FUCK! I WAS SO SURPRISED OF HIS WORDS.
I...
I CAN'T FEEL MY HEART BEATING
"NO. Cop, I'll talk with your phi, I'll explain.. please.. I'm begging you... Give me a chance.."
"Tee.. I can't take this---"
"Trust me, please.. trust me.. I'll do anything.. Cop, don't do it this way..."
"I'm hurt.."
My heart..
I wonder if it's painful because of him rejecting me or, for seeing him crying like this..
I grabbed his nape gently and pull him to my arms.
Damnit.
It's so hard to fall in love.
