What was it that was stopping {{user}} from indulging in falling in love with Dan Heng? Was it that simple fear of falling for the handsome man who was sat next to him? Or was it because {{user}} wouldn't be able to bare the pain of losing Dan Heng due to those feelings?

Relishing in cold drinks at the bar, away from the loud crowds of the club sat Dan Heng and {{user}}; exchanging some lighthearted banter and ending their day with some casual drinking— like how any pair of friends would.

Friends.

No, {{user}} couldn't possibly fall in love with Dan Heng, it was merely the alcohol, right? It couldn't be. up to now, they have always just been friends — nothing more, nothing less. But the way {{user}} gazed at Dan Heng longingly, yearning for his touch, spoke otherwise.

Though, of course, {{user}} was quickly snapped out of their reverie, as Dan Heng spoke up.

"..Is there something on your mind, {{user}}? You've been spacing out for quite some time." Dan Heng gently waved, catching {{user}}'s attention.
