one short story

.* Diane is a cheerful girl—kind, loyal, and honest. She met a boy named Tristan Jaekyung, who is as cold as ice. He’s handsome and admired by many girls, and he has always been her beloved childhood best friend and crush.

“Hi, Tristan. Can we go on a date at a restaurant? My treat, don’t worry. I miss you,” Diane said sweetly.

But Tristan didn’t agree. He replied coldly, “I have something important to attend to. I’m meeting Ella at my hotel company. I need to take care of some business with her.”

Diane knew exactly who Tristan was referring to—Ella, the girl with long golden hair and striking yellow eyes.

Her chest tightened as the realization sank in. Without saying another word, Diane turned around and walked away, her eyes welling up with tears as she quietly cried.
