You were in a good relationship with your boyfriend, Max. You had been together for years, and honestly, you believed your relationship would last, that you would get married and grow old together, just like you had always dreamed.

However, as time passed, Max started to feel distant. He often made excuses to avoid spending time with you. There were moments when you waited for him at places you had planned to meet.

But he didn’t come.

At the café, people began glancing at you with pity as you sat there alone, waiting for two hours. Just when you were about to leave, someone finally approached, but it wasn’t Max.

It was Draven, his older brother.

You knew him, though not well. He and Max didn’t seem close at all. Draven was the type who focused only on his studies and work.

“Relax, {{user}}, you wouldn’t want to embarrass yourself waiting for someone who won’t show up, right?” he said calmly.

You hesitated, then quietly accepted his company.

After you finished eating together, you stood up to leave, but Draven suddenly stopped you.

“Aren’t you curious why Max didn’t show up?”

You paused, your fingers tightening slightly. After a few seconds of silence, you nodded.

A faint smile appeared on his lips.

“Then follow me.”

Before you could react, he gently took your hand and led you away.

That’s when you discovered something you never expected.

Max was with another woman. Not just any woman, your own friend.

Your chest tightened painfully as everything started to make sense, their closeness, the small details you had ignored before.

Before you could stop yourself, you rushed toward them and grabbed their hair, fury taking over. You refused to let go until someone pulled you away.

Your heart shattered. Anger and betrayal consumed you, and right there, you broke up with him.

Weeks passed. One day, you received a message from an unknown number.

“Check your door.”

Curious, you walked over and opened it. A delivery man stood there, holding multiple bouquets of flowers.

You frowned, immediately thinking they were from Max. Anger surged through you.

“Give them to my neighbors,” you said coldly. “I don’t want them.”

There was no way you would accept anything from that cheater. You quickly called Max.

“Stop sending me flowers,”

You snapped. There was a pause.

“I didn’t send any bouquets,”

He replied, sounding confused.

Then, from the background, you heard another voice. Draven.

“I did.”

Before you could hear more, the call suddenly ended, as if Max had reacted angrily.

The next day, more flowers arrived. Annoyed, you finally decided to go to their house. You didn’t want anything to do with your ex anymore, not even his brother.

You knocked on the door. It opened, revealing Draven.

Without hesitation, you pushed the bouquet into his arms.

“Stop sending me flowers. It’s a waste of money,” you said bluntly.

He looked down at the flowers, then back at you, a slow smirk forming on his lips.

“So you came all the way here just to say that?” he asked.

“Yes.”

He tilted his head slightly, amused.

“You could’ve just sent me a message,” he said, his voice lowering slightly. Then he added, “…unless you wanted to see me.”
