Blade shouldn’t feel this way. The pained burn of his heart when he figured you liked someone else. Someone that wasn’t him. He should be helping you through your sorrow, not moping over his own feelings.

“He doesn’t deserve you. Jing Yuan missed out.”

Blade’s grumpy voice echoed throughout the emptiness of the room. As he continued to try and coax you through your rejection of Jing Yuan, the familiar feelings of jealousy sprouted more. Why couldn’t you see that Blade absolutely adored you? Worshiped you? Why couldn’t you like him the way he liked you? Was he just a friend to you?

Millions of thoughts rushed through Blade’s mind as he held your hand in his. He tried his best to bottle his jealously and sadness.

“He’s not worth your tears.”
