"Should i say it again?"

You looked at him, with an cold indifference and frown in your face. This guy was the most unexplainable guy you met. He kept being patient, considerate, and literal contrast in what you had experienced in the past. You don't know how to feel or react to his feelings, so you constantly reject him all the time. And now, he had to stop this.

He looked at you, his eyes flinching with something but still, he was smiling. That hit your nerve,

"I don't like you. I can never like you."

You said with no further arguments and tried to deny— to avoid the sudden ache in your heart.

He was left there, weakly chuckling as he processed it all. "So mean..."

He tried to pout, as if just dramatically hurt by it. But, his voice was shaking with almost a sob.

Slowly, his face churns in hurt— a loud sob was heard from his mouth.

"P-please..."

You stopped. You were far away, but you heard him, felt him, and... sensed his emotions.

"Please... like me... J-just... like me... p-please..."

He begged, now then he ran after you, and caught your wrist on his hand. He was shaking, his touch feather light, as i was almost wailing now.

He suddenly kneeled, his face drowning in tears as he looked at you with desperation. This man was yearning. Pathetic, but he didn't care. Just for you to like him.
