"Are you okay, Ash?" Zayden asked me. So he was the one who saw me here. I often visit this park. He knows this because this is the place where I once became a couple with the guy who is now the reason for my sorrow.

"I'm okay. Why did you follow me here?" I asked back. I looked at him while he gazed at the sky.

I observed his face. He’s handsome. That’s undeniable—from his long eyelashes to his red lips, thick eyebrows, and fair skin.

He’s not someone hard to love. In my eyes, he’s the one worth chasing. He shouldn’t be the one doing the chasing. He loves me too much, to the point that he forgets himself.

We both loved, but the difference is, I never chased after love like Zay did. It hurts because my best friend is hurting because of me.

It’s like our love turned into a one-sided love. But I hope that someday, he finds someone who truly loves him—not someone like me who only takes advantage of him. I just treated him like a tissue.

"No. Because you're not okay. You know that I love you, right?" he said. Then, he turned to look at me. I could see the pain in his eyes, hidden behind his fake smile.

"Z-Zayden, I'm sorry," I stuttered.

"Shh. You don’t have to apologize, okay?" he said as he wiped away my tears. Then, he hugged me tightly. A hug filled with love. A hug I never once felt from Cyrus.

"I wish it was you. I wish I could replace the one in my heart," I cried, burying my face in his chest.

"Enough of that. You’re starting to look ugly," he teased. I hit him playfully, but he caught my hand.

He stared at me and slowly leaned in. I felt dizzy, so I closed my eyes. I felt the warmth and softness of his lips against mine.

Slowly, I wrapped my arms around Zayden's neck. I didn’t know what it was about his kiss, but I felt myself getting lost in it.

He bit my lower lip, causing me to part my lips, giving him the chance to deepen the kiss.

When I realized what I was doing, I suddenly pushed him away in shock. He fell back onto the grass, looking just as surprised as I was.

I quickly stood up, turned away from him, and ran to my motorcycle. I drove straight home.

When I arrived, the house was quiet. My older brother’s car was gone, so they must have already left. No one was in the living room, probably all asleep.

Since I had no appetite, I just scrolled through my phone. I saw messages from my friends—we even had a group chat. But what caught my attention was a text from Zayden.

From: Zayden

"I’m not sorry about what happened a while ago. But I’m sorry for kissing you without permission. I love you, Ash."

I stared at the message for several minutes. His words and what happened earlier kept replaying in my mind.

I was only snapped out of my thoughts when a notification from Messenger popped up—it was a message in our group chat.

Western 69

Brandy

Hey @Abo! What’s up?

Eddy

Haha, probably got scolded!

Jomar

She’s so loud, damn.

Trish

Hey, you guys are so mean to @Ash.

Brandy

Baby, we’re not.

Jomar

Yuck. Don’t rub it to my face that I’m single!

Eddy

Single? Who? You? LOL, I saw you earlier in the girls’ restroom!

JoJo

Hey! I did not go to the restroom

Lisa

Whoa! No wonder I heard someone crying earlier!

Trisha

Whoa! Who’s the mystery person?

Eddy

That girl was his elementary classmate, haha.

Asul

Hey! You guys, why are you talking like this here?

Brandy

Wow, look at you @Asul!

Abo

You guys are so loud!

Trisha

Whoa! @Abo finally chatted!

Lisa

OMG, is this a miracle?

Asul

Baby, give me a kiss!

Lisa

Shut up, Bluemont!

Brandy

Me too.

JoJo What do you mean, "me too," dude?

Eddy

@Brandy and @Asul both want kisses, LOL.

Brandy

F*** you, @Eddy.

Abo

You’re all so loud!

Be quiet! Don’t you have parents?

Someone give me food!

I'm starving!

Maybe you guys want to donate to my stomach worms?

I’m totally willing to eat.

Trisha

Let’s go out?

Lisa

Yeah, it’s only 9 PM.

Asul

Baby, your mom might scold you.

Abo

Ugh, drama.

Baby, my ass.

Ew.

Yuck.

Brandy

You’re just bitter.

Asul

You’re just bitter (2).

Lisa

You’re just bitter (3).

Jomar

You’re just bitter (4).

Eddy

You’re just bitter (5).

These idiots are ganging up on me!

Since I was too hungry, I just ordered food delivery. I almost got caught by my mom when I opened the gate, but luckily, she didn’t wake u Otherwise, I’d be in for a long scolding.

I ate in my room while watching horror movies. It’s way better than romance. Romance movies can be so annoying sometimes, especially the main characters. Sometimes, I feel like I’m the one suffering in their place. Most protagonists are martyrs—it makes me feel like I’m watching myself.

As for horror, I don’t know. I just love watching scenes where people get killed. I also enjoy watching crime documentaries and movies about mysteries.

I guess my older brother, Ice, influenced me. He’s a detective, while his twin, Ace, is a criminal lawyer. That’s probably why I’m so in love with mystery thrillers, whether in movies or books.

I also love reading horror stories.

After I finished eating, I cleaned up. I washed the dishes right away—otherwise, my mom might throw them at me in the morning. She hates it when we leave dirty dishes in the sink.

I put away my laptop and phone, then lay on my bed, thinking about what happened earlier.

Because, if I were to be honest with myself, I just couldn’t get that kiss out of my mind.

    Cyrus' POV"Ryle, baby? Are you okay? Does anything hurt? Wait, I'll call the doctor," said the girl holding my hands. I don’t know why this girl is crying. Does she even know me? Why does it feel like she’s part of my life? Why do I hate seeing her cry? "Who are you? Why am I here? Get out of my sight! Where’s Kristine?" I asked the girl in front of me, confused. I saw the pain in her eyes from my words. It was like my words were a sword stabbing her. "Hey, baby, what are you talking about? Kristine? Why can’t he remember me? Ryle, it’s me, Ash. Please don’t joke like this," she said as tears streamed down her face. I woke up abruptly from my dream, gasping for air. Everyone in the clinic was startled when I woke up. I also saw that they were all there—except for Kristine. Maybe they had been watching over me for a while. It was already late in the afternoon. I must have slept too well. "Thank God, bro! You're awake," my younger sibling exclaimed in surprise, sitting rig

    Ryle/Cyrus POV I woke up early, earlier than my usual alarm. I don't know why, but I just ignored it. I sent a message to my lovely Kristine saying good morning and that I missed her already. She didn't even reply. I think she's still sleeping. When I noticed no one else was awake, I decided to go jogging. This village had a baseball court, and I saw four people playing. They looked familiar to me, but I just continued jogging. "Cyrus, dude!" I heard someone call me, so I stopped for a while. I saw a guy running towards me with a smile on his face. He looked familiar. I think he's one of Ash's friends. "Why? Do I know you?" I asked. It's obviously true because I really don't know them. The others approached us. They were smiling too, which made me confused. "You okay now? By the way, I'm Eddy," said one guy. I just nodded. "Jomar here!" "Blue." "And I'm Brandon," they introduced themselves. They invited me to play with them, so I agreed. I felt comfortable with them. "Sorr

    When I got to the classroom, they had already started discussing. Luckily, my teacher let me in. I was excused, apparently. We only had half a day of classes because the teachers had a meeting for the Christmas party. I wasn't interested in knowing about it, so I decided to leave school and wander around. I wasn't going to join that party anyway, and I knew my friends wouldn't join either. Well, they might be planning our own party. I want a beach party because I'm tired of their constant bar parties. That's what we always do when we don't want to join. It's not mandatory, though, because our teacher said so. We're used to it, and I'm naturally averse to those kinds of parties. Unless Mom forces me. If she's the one who says it, no matter who objects, there's nothing anyone can do. Though my mom is kind, she has that authority over us that we have to obey. I'm used to her mouth, once she starts, I know it won't stop. My cousins are useless too. They're scared. Speaking of cousin

    This song is for my only one baby. Even if you don't answer me now, it's okay, I'll wait and still hope. Please listen to this song, I love you. He said, oh my god, so many people, is he seriously doing this? I felt a little embarrassed when he started singing. It felt like my heart was stabbed when I realized that I was slowly starting to like him. I didn't notice it because I planted in my mind that it should only be Ryle. That I should endure until Ryle remembers. That I should be loyal to Ryle. That I love Ryle so much, no matter what. I didn't notice that the building I built in my heart was slowly crumbling.

    Good morning people! I shouted, as if there were people around me. I'm just a plastic doll, though. Sorry, huh? God bless.I just woke up.I guess that's what happens when you're lazy, you're really lazy. Well, I'm talkative when I'm alone, but I keep my mouth shut whenever people are around me.I went to the bathroom first. My room has a bathroom so I don't have to go out when I need to use it. Our house isn't that big, just enough for the three of us living here. But we have two guest rooms because my brother used to stay overnight here, especially when Mom wasn't around.I'm lucky to have them because they treated me like a sister, and it somehow made me feel less like an only child.Maybe that's why I'm not a friendly person. I prefer being alone than talking about pointless things. But if it's important, I won't ignore you.I'm not really the social type. I don't like parties, crowded places, and noisy environ

It's just the three of us here, so it's not really crowded."No good morning, Ma? Just a scolding? Anyway, do you have work today?" I asked Dad while stuffing rice into my mouth. He looked at me, then turned his attention back to his food."Yes, honey. The son of the bank owner where I work, Cyrus, you remember him? He's back, and there's a welcome party. They want us to go," Dad said, looking at me while I just kept eating, not caring if I finished the food.And who cares about that guy? We're not close, you know!That jerk owes me one.He even brought a gift. Tsk."Ha, what about my classes? I have school today. I don't want to be absent. You two can go.

Ugh, those leech-like guys were flirting with them, too. It's so stressful, jeez.We immediately looked for a place to sit, and the two couples went to order. We found an empty spot that Cyrus and his group usually hang out at, so I got an idea."Ash, don't sit there. What if we could be in trouble? It's their spot, right?" Brandon asked, worried. Well, it's true, but it's not literally their spot. They just claim it."Trust me, it'll be fun," I said with a smirk. I knew he understood what I meant.So, even though they were hesitant, they sat down. I could feel eyes on us. They were probably wondering why we chose to sit there. This table is in the center, so it really attracts attention."What do you guys want?" Blue asked us."Anything for me." Jomar and
