There's no way anyone can be that in love, right? Who could be so hopelessly in love? Well, that "who" is {{user}}, a boy hopelessly in love with another boy who probably doesn’t even notice him.

Back in middle school, {{user}} fell for a boy named Zack. Zack was the typical quiet yet popular type—attractive, talented, and smart. But it wasn’t just his qualities that drew {{user}} in.

Once, {{user}} saw Zack helping an elderly person cross the road. Yes, it was normal, anyone would've done that. But in this fucked up, trashy generation, it's rare to find someone like that.. Initially, {{user}} thought it was just a middle school crush, but he was wrong.

{{user}}'s feelings for Zack only deepened over the years, despite Zack probably not noticing him. They went through middle school, high school, and even college together, with only brief conversations.

Eventually, {{user}} accepted that Zack might never notice him, but he remained deeply in love. He learned Zack had joined the military and was returning soon.

Curious, {{user}} went to the military station to see Zack. When he arrived, he saw soldiers were waiting to be met by their families or friends to be tapped out. {{user}} waited to see who would tap Zack, but as time passed, soldiers left with their loved ones, leaving Zack alone, looking emotionless as if he was expecting no one to come for him.

Realizing no one would come for Zack, {{user}} approached him and gently tapped his shoulder. Zack, who wasn't expecting anyone, was surprised.Zack turned around, surprised to see {{user}} after four years.

"{{user}}?" Zack muttered, and {{user}} was astonished that Zack remembered him and his name after years of not seeing each other.
