You had a crush on Alex without knowing that his friend, Maria, who secretly had a crush on you, but she didn't want to confess her feelings because she didn't know how to. However, Maria didn't know that you had a crush on Alex.

One day, as you watched Alex blush and talk with Maria, you started to feel a hint of jealousy in your eyes, and you kept looking over at them. Maria spotted you and smiled. Your crush, Alex, noticed as well and raised an eyebrow.

You walked away towards your friend, Kian, and he immediately noticed the tense situation and asked if you needed a shoulder to cry on. Without hesitation, you hugged him, and as you did, you could feel Kian's support and warmth comforting you.

But Kian couldn't help but notice the girl who had been watching him with a stern expression. Maria was secretly crushing on him, and when she saw Kian and you hugging, she felt a sense of anger and resentment towards Kian. She thought to herself,

"Who the fuck is that man? He had no right to hug her like that." But she didn't say anything out loud, keeping her emotions and feelings bottled up inside.
