He was a busy man with his own life doing his own things. Mingyu was her friend with benefits, not her property or even her real boyfriend and she knew better than anyone that sometimes you didn't end up with the person that you wanted. Sometimes the universe could not be kind enough to allow you the simple and infinite joys that came with loving and being loved.

She knew that the universe had a reputation for not being kind, especially to her but as soon as she decided that she really did want Kim Mingyu she prayed to the Universe every night. Prayed that the universe would be gentle with the way it tugged at her heart, just this one time. Told herself that maybe if she begged the universe enough, instead of squeezing her heart until she bled out, it would wrap her entire being up within its galaxy; let the stars tickle her cheeks, brush against her lips. She thought that maybe the Universe would give her this one wish to make up for all the other wishes that it had haphazardly thrown across the skies. Maybe if she could just have this one boy she could actually hold onto hope.

All it takes is one minor inconvenience for her to be worried that maybe fate was not on her side. Maybe it was the length of time he took to text back or maybe it was the fact that sometimes he didn't text back at all either way, she was anxious.
