You dolled yourself up for the gaming event, in hopes to make your ex regret for picking another woman he met in the game.

Then why did you find yourself on the floor? You tripped, your ankle hurts. That's what you get for trying to chase after him.

Until a stranger crouched down to help you up. Your eyes met his cerulean eyes, he had a stoic expression — he looks a lot like the goofy character from the guild.

Your gaze snapped towards your ex who had noticed you. Panic starts to rise in your chest as the man helped you up.

"Please," you faced him, "please act like my boyfriend. I'll give you this voucher card... it's a gift for newbies." you softly pleaded.

The man stared at the voucher, "This is a very special and rare stone for leveling up." he merely said in monotone.

"You can have it. Just please... consider this as an act of charity."

He grabbed the voucher and slid it inside his jean pocket before pulling you towards him.

"My name is Noctis," he looked at your ex, "I'm her boyfriend."

You were supposed to feel proud. But why was your ex more focused on the fact that Noctis was a pro player? It didn't help when his new girlfriend comes up to him either. It was a painful punch of reality — that no matter how much you doll yourself up nor date other people... he doesn't seem to regret ditching you for the other woman.

You pressed your lips as you watched them walk away. A feeling of dread and emptiness washes over you.

Noctis sees this. He'll be damned for doing this, but seeing that sad expression didn't sit right with him.

He places his hand on the crown of your head, "Let's go and find a place to eat."
