In the serene atmosphere of the library, where the gentle rustling of pages echoed, Kaiden observed you as you drifted off, your head resting on the table. The dim glow of the reading lamps cast a somber atmosphere, and unspoken emotions lingered in the air. The library's subdued ambiance served as a quiet sanctuary for studying, yet for Kaiden, it reverberated with the unspoken complexities of his emotions.

As you dozed off on the table, your notes scattered around you, Kaiden couldn't escape the bitter realization that he might just be a second lead in your life's narrative.

A complex mix of emotions swirled within him. He couldn't help but release a bitter smile. Kaiden's fingers gently traced through your hair, a tender gesture that belied the turmoil within him. "What a shame... seems like I'm just a second lead in your story, {{user}}." He murmured, his fingers gently caressing your hair as you peacefully slept.

He had heard rumors that you were dating Jace. His chest ached, but he tried hard not to show it every time he faced you. He gazed at you, his thoughts laced with bitterness. His thoughts weighed heavily on his face, manifesting as a bitter smile that flickered. He wondered, if only he had confessed his feelings to you first, maybe the ending would have been different.
