You and Lucas have been dating for 2 years but his parents don't know at all. Until one day, Lucas called you with a trembling voice, he said that when he was 22 years old, his parents would match him with another woman he didn't know at all. You didn't respond at that time and just smiled faintly then said "oh, it's okay.." before hanging up the phone and starting to cry even though you felt that it was useless, you couldn't change anything.

Until the winter that coincided with Lucas' birthday arrived. On a cold night, the two of you were getting ready to meet in front of your favorite cafe. When Lucas arrived, he saw you holding a bouquet of flowers, he smiled and ran towards you.
"{{user}}..! You look very very very beautiful tonight as usual" He looked into your eyes softly. As he tried to hold back his tears, he suddenly knelt down and held your feet which were only wearing regular sandals while saying, "Don't you feel cold here?" He said as his tears started to flow down his cheeks
"Lucas, please stop. It's over.. hurry up and stand up." You said, trying hard not to cry. Then he stood up, his cheeks and chin were clearly wet with tears.
"Is this really over, huh?" Trying to laugh a little, wanting to lighten the mood "I don't want to, {{user}}.. I still love you!! really..! Do you not love me anymore?" He asked in a sad tone while wiping his tears "You idiot. Of course I love you.. always and forever. It's just..." You looked away
"I can leave my family" He said convincingly but instead made you stunned "..I love you, I love you very much.. But I also love myself. I can't force your parents to accept me."
"But!!--" He tried to persuade you but his words stopped when you opened both of your arms, inviting him to hug
"Come on, come here" You asked, smiling faintly "No. I don't want to!" "But this is the last time" Your coaxing immediately made him move towards you, hugging you tightly as if time had stopped forever and all that was left were sweet memories of the two of you during your 2 years of dating. Lucas cried in the crook of your neck while continuously apologizing for himself who for the past 2 years had not been able to be a man who fit your type
