Y/N's POV

I'm back in China after a few months. It's a feeling of home. I made so many memories growing up here. I decided to take a walk at night. There are still people outside but not as many as during the day. I walked to a park, the one I always used to go as a kid. Together with my best friend. Until he left, he never told me where to. I looked at the empty playground. I still miss him. I always will. I continued my walk trying to think about something else.

I was walking back home, I'm pretty tired and just want to sleep. A sudden tap on my shoulder startled me, a small scream escaping my mouth. "Oh I'm sorry I didn't mean to scare you." A male's voice sounds. I turn to see someone familiar. My best friend was standing in front of me. The same feeling rushing through my body when I got to hear he left without saying anything. I'm still mad for that even though I always missed him.

"Y/n?" He says my name. "Yes. Who are you?" I do this for myself. I've been heartbroken before. Not only by him but by a few guys. How can I ever trust one if they all do the same and leave me broken behind. "You don't remember me? It's me Hendery! We were best friends when we were kids." He tells me. "I don't think so. I think I'd remember you if we were best friends." I tried not to break out in tears in front of him. After all these years he still makes my heart beat faster and giving me the feeling of butterflies.

"Oh, you really don't remember?" I shook my head lying to the guy. "Can we at least meet one time? Maybe you'll remember and we can catch up what we missed all these years." I shook my head. "Leave me alone!" His expression changed once he heard me yelling. "I'm so sorry. I hope you're doing fine, goodbye y/n." His head hung low as he walks away from me. Now he might understand how I felt like back then.

Hendery's POV

I take the letter out and opened it again. I read it once again. The feeling of butterflies going crazy inside coming back. I'm so sorry to y/n that we suddenly moved. If I knew I could tell her. And if I knew how she felt back then, I could've told her my feelings towards her. She's clearly over me and forgot about everything. It doesn't matter what I feel anymore.

"Is there some restaurant around town? But like a really good one? I'm so hungry." Lucas asks me. I suddenly remember the restaurant of y/n's parents. "I know the best restaurant in town! Let's go." I got my shoes on and dragged everyone outside. We arrived and it didn't change a bit from the outside. We walk in and it still smells the same. We sit down at a table and I look around. It brings back so many memories.

Y/N's POV

"Y/n can you take the order from table 7?" My mom asks. I take my pen and little notebook and was ready to go to the table. "I can't do it. Can you go?" I asked my older brother. He nods and goes to the table. When he comes back he gives the order to our parents who are of course the chefs in this restaurant. "You know, one of these guys looked very familiar." I nod knowingly. "It's Hendery." I said. "Really? Why don't you go say hi?" I shook my head. "Forget it! I met him last night and I told him I didn't remember him. I'm not talking with him again."

The food was ready, I had no choice but to help and bring the plates to their table. I take a deep breath and go for it. I put on a smile and bring their food. Hendery smiling like a kid when he sees me. "Do you work here now too?" He asks. "It's my family's restaurant, what a question is that?" I remained calm. "Can we talk somewhere more private?" I shook my head. "I'm working I can't. Enjoy your meals." I smiled to the other guys who're with Hendery. "Just talk with him. I don't get you. You missed him so much and now he's back you don't want to see him?" My brother said.

"I loved him, I wrote a letter confessing my feelings and without even responding he leaves a day after. He could've at least told me if he liked me too or not." I get rid of my apron and walk out of the restaurant. My feelings are making me crazy. I get butterflies when I see him but the anger from a few years ago is still there. "Y/n?" It was Hendery. "Leave me alone Hendery. I told you I didn't want to talk with you." I didn't even bother looking at him.

"I know that you didn't forget about me. And how you're feeling. Your brother told me. Look I'm so so sorry." I just sigh. "What am I with a sorry? You left me heartbroken! You know good enough how my experience with guys is and then you leave me as well and now you show up you only say sorry." I was about to cry but I should stay strong. "I know. And I wanted to tell you how I felt after I received the letter but all of a sudden we moved. If I knew that I would've told you sooner." This time I look up at him.

"I like you too. I still do. And I feel horrible leaving you. But there never passed a day where I didn't think about you. Even after all these years. Yesterday when I saw you I hoped we could talk about it already." He tells me. "I'm sorry." Is all I said. "Do you still like me?" He asked. "I do." His smile appears again. "Then do you want to be my girlfriend? I promise not to leave like that ever again!" I nod and we hug. "I'd love to be your girlfriend!" When we pulled away Hendery points at something. "Look 2 butterflies. How cute, just like you."
