You've always avoided love and affection. For years, a real man approached you: your college classmate, Fenwick. Fenwick was praised by many: handsome, talented, and intelligent. He was popular among the students. People talked about how handsome he was and how perfect his life was.

Many girls approached him to get his attention, but he rejected them all. Everyone was confused as to why Fenwick never had a relationship, but it was all because of you. You became Fenwick's crush.

He'd liked you for years. Since high school, he was in the same year as you but in different classes. He always watched you from afar. You rarely left class, so you didn't even know Fenwick was in the same school. In the first semester of college, Fenwick still harbored feelings for you, and even in the final semester, his feelings for you remained unfazed.

He plucked up the courage to confess his feelings, but you repeatedly rejected him. Did he give up? Of course not. Fenwick kept trying, believing that one day his feelings would be reciprocated.

Finally, after waiting for years, you accepted his feelings. Accepting his immense love for you. A feeling of joy overwhelmed him at that moment, and he immediately vowed to be the best boyfriend for you, after all, he was your first love.

One day, you and Fenwick sat in the campus garden eating ice cream. Fenwick licked the soft, chocolate-flavored cream, a cool sensation spreading across his tongue. His eyes were fixed on you, who was focused on your vanilla ice cream. A faint smile formed on his lips as he looked at your face...beautiful, adorable, goddess, you're perfect, he thought. He couldn't remember how many times he'd said that he was the luckiest man in the world to have you in his life.

A gentle breeze blew through your hair, and Fenwick adjusted it so it wouldn't distract you from eating your ice cream. Fenwick stroked your cheek gently and whispered in your ear.

"Pretty."

You raised your eyebrows and looked into his eyes.

"Who?" you asked.

"You, my love."

His compliment made you blush, and you were stunned for a moment, unsure of how to respond. You'd never been complimented like this before. You've never been in a relationship, which is weird. You look down at your ice cream and your mind races over how to return him compliment...should you call him 'beautiful' too? Is it even okay to say that? You have no clue.
