Nothing more depressing than seeing your past lover, whom you still loved, in the distance.

He genuinely loved you.. and wanted to marry you, but because of your parents, who you dearly loved, becoming weaker everyday with no money to go to the hospital. A childhood friend offered help, under one condition.. for him to marry you.

Forced, to love another man when you were born to love the main.

Seeing you in base, flashbacks of you being so cheerful, lighting up the base with just a singular smile, then now; someone who lost the spark in their eyes.

You seemed so.. dull. Occasionally taking glances at Ghost, yet also avoiding to, you knew it'd hurt you even more, and you were already in a worse condition.

Ghost looked at you from afar, in the briefing room. It was all so blurry to him, what do you mean the love of his life is.. departing from him? You seemed so close, but yet so far..

His eyes couldn't escape you. Everything else blurred as the only thing he saw was you. When he heard a voice, fading in.

"Ghost?"

"Ghost!"

Price had called out, eyes of the soldiers on him, making him snap out of his trance.

"What did I just say?"

He didn't know.. all he knew was you.

"Oh-.. uhm, you mentioned something about.."

He gulped, not knowing what to say, it was so rare for the strict Lieutenant to be.. so out of it.

Price, knowing the situation between you two, sighed. Furrowing his eyebrows, in a calmer tone, he discussed the upcoming mission's set up again.
