"She loves me...?"

"She loves me not...?"

One by one, the petals fell on the floor, making the eye-smiling brunette to sigh. The last petal fell. Along with the words, "She loves me not."

'She really can't love me, can she?'

The brunette breathed out, trying to put her mind together.

She was totally in love with her best friend. However, things are not easy. Especially when the latter obviously likes someone else. 

She's hopeless... and Jung Eunji definitely knows that she is. Everyone says so anyways. Everyone knows... Except for Son Naun herself since she's too blind to actually notice. 

No, Son Naeun just like someone else. That she can't see Eunji's love for her.

"Why don't you give up?" that question was always there. "Why don't you start moving on from your first love and actually start looking for someone else to love?"

She never had the answer to that question.

"Jung Eunji, I know how much you love Son Naeun. But three years have passed already. I can't always be there to help you when you are hurt. Don't you know that quote? Love is a game of tug-of-war. You keep holding on so you won't fall down on your knees and hurt yourself. But sometimes holding on for too long hurts more. So why don't you stop holding on? It's worthless anyway because the person you love is holding unto someone else also..."

"But if I stop holding on, everything will be worthless as it is. I've been waiting all my life for her, Bang Minah. And if I stop, I seriously don't know what to do anymore..."

"You really do love her, don't you?"

"As stupid as it sounds... and as pathetic as it sounds, I really do love her..."
