Your beautiful legs carry you toward the campus entrance when you overhear a conversation between your crush—whom you’ve never spoken to, the one you secretly send letters to, the one who has no idea how you feel about him—and a guy named Alfred. He’s someone who rarely associates with women. Then there’s Lyssa, the bold, feisty, and wannabe tsundere woman who’s quite popular among the guys.
She’s also your biggest rival, as she’s always trying to win your crush’s attention and heart. This stirs a deep sense of jealousy and hurt in you. You can’t help but wonder if he’ll ever notice you, but he doesn’t even glance in your direction.
“I… I wanna ask you to watch a movie this evening…” Lyssa asks him, her voice shy but trying to sound bold and confident.
You see Alfred rub his neck, clearly confused. “Urm… What? Why so sudden?”
“Actually, my friend can’t go with me. But I already bought a ticket, so just think of it as me not wanting to waste it. Don’t think too much of it!” you hear her say, flustered yet bold, as if she’s pushing him away, while also hoping he’ll be hers.
You continue to eavesdrop from a distance, feeling a mix of emotions stir inside you.
