Good times always seemed to fly by. Before I knew it, it was time for a new semester.With Mom's and Aunt Mel's insistent interventions, I booked a ticket that was on the same day as Felix's.When we reached the airport, Lilac was standing at the roadside, craning her neck in anticipation. Felix was delighted to be out of his parents' sight. He ran over happily to take her hand and kissed her deeply on the forehead.So it was true that people in love always felt like every day apart was an eternity.Green with jealousy, I turned away and entered the hall with my suitcase.The airport was enormous, and there were countless people heading to their respective destinations. That was their destiny. In the future, our lives would be like that, too. We would go in two separate directions.With tears in my eyes, I said a silent goodbye to him in my heart.I had more classes this semester compared to the previous one. I put all other thoughts behind me and threw myself wholeheartedly

"Luna, Lili's timid and shy, so you've got to treat her well. Don't disappoint me."I wouldn't disappoint him, but he had really disappointed me.We'd known each other for 19 years, and I was sure he knew very well what kind of person I was. But he was giving me an indirect warning in front of everyone as if I was some kind of sly, spiteful person.I wasn't that kind of person, but I was really disappointed.I said, "Okay."Uncle Austin and Aunt Mel probably knew about Lilac's family and were very unhappy about it. When dinner started, they kept plying me with food while ignoring Lilac completely.Lilac shrank back helplessly in her seat while Felix continuously comforted her in a low voice.My parents couldn't say much as this was the White family's affairs. As for me, I focused intently on eating and enjoyed the food thoroughly like the connoisseur I was.This was the most boring dinner I had ever eaten.When I had had my fill, I put down my cutleries and went out on the bal

I smiled and leaned on Aunt Mel's shoulder like I used to do when I was young. I said playfully, "Aunt Mel, please don't say things like this again. If my boyfriend finds out, he'll be unhappy."That night, I lay in bed sleeplessly for a long time. The pain in my heart continued to spread, and I gritted my teeth as I endured it.When it was almost dawn, Felix sent me a message on WhatsApp. "Do you really have a boyfriend? Who is he?"I stared at the phone screen unblinkingly for a long time until my eyes began to ache.No matter who he was, it wasn't Felix. Why did he still have to ask so much?I put the phone on silent mode and tossed it at the foot of the bed without replying.I didn't have a boyfriend. Whoever he was, it was my business and had nothing to do with Felix. I had no reason to tell him anything. The next morning, with huge dark circles under my eyes, I made plans with a few of my high school friends to go hiking.After the events of yesterday, I especially did n

Zara walked beside me and muttered in a low voice about how Felix was heartless and blind and would definitely regret his decision down the road. She said that Lilac was obviously not as innocent as she looked and was clearly just putting on an act for me. She also said that Lilac had all the vibes of a scheming bitch, and I was no match for her because I was such a blockhead.She was annoyed, and I didn't interrupt her until she'd finished her rant. Then I told her that Felix and I were history now and that she shouldn't mention it again.She gritted her teeth and lectured me about how useless I was. At that moment, she seemed like a mother worrying about my marriage prospects.I knew she just wanted to defend me, but the facts were right there. I had already distanced myself from Felix, and there was nothing more to be said about it.Besides, liking him was my own choice and had nothing to do with him.His feelings for Lilac had nothing to do with me either.Everyone should j

Felix clearly knew that I was injured, but he didn't come to see me even once. It would be a lie if I said that I wasn't disappointed.I hoped so fervently that there would be a moment when I opened my eyes, and he would be there, sitting beside my bed and peeling an apple for me. There would be a beautiful ray of sunshine shining on him as if he were my god.On the afternoon of my third day in the hospital, I had just woken up from a nap when I heard the sound of arguing coming from outside my door. The voices were very familiar. It was Felix and Lilac. I couldn't hear very clearly as there was a door between us. It seemed that Felix had come to visit me, but Lilac was against it. The two of them were having an argument right in front of my door. I would be discharged tomorrow, and it was no longer important whether or not he came to see me. But if Lilac became upset with him because he came to see me, then it might bring me unwanted trouble. If that was the case, it would be
