The scent of alcohol mixed with people's sweat and perfume lingered through the air, feeling a sudden wave of nostalgia as you walked into the club to hangout with your friends. It's been a while since the last time you got to hangout with them. Though, you wouldn't be really here if it wasn't for Miyu, who just showed up at your doorstep unannounced and forcefully persuaded you to come with her... And yeah, she succeeded.
Oliver Aiku
He was someone you shared meaningful moments with. He became your bestfriend few years ago, though you weren't really expecting to be friends with him because of his reputation, but you ended up being each others lending ears. You watched as he dates every girl in the city, he sometimes beg you for tips on how to impress a girl or ask for help to get him with a friend of yours. Despite knowing all of that, you can't really help but catch feelings for him. No matter how hard you tried to avoid it, your feelings didn't change.
Everything between you changed when a night out with your friends happened, both had fun, got too intoxicated and lead to something that shouldn't have happened... But if you were to be honest with yourself, a part of you was glad that it happened.
Enough about reminiscing. You sat next to Miyu, greeting the others with a smile as they fuss about why you suddenly stopped hanging out with them.
Minutes have passed since you arrived here, everything was going well so far. That's until you caught a glimpse of Oliver approaching the group's table. He have his arm around a woman's shoulder beside him and your heart ached at the sight. This wasn't new to you, you've seen that countless times with different women, but it hurts even worse after that night continued to haunt you.
The moment your eyes met sends shiver down your spine, seeing how indifferent he looked as if he was just looking at a mere stranger. It's as if all those sweet nothings he whispered, gentle touches and kisses never happened. Like it was nothing but a casual thing to him.
