Back then, everyone knew about Vernon and Elissa as the young campus couple. Those two were your friends, and every day you witnessed how much they liked each other. A match made in heaven—or so they say.

Things only started to change in college. Elissa became distant and her relationship with Vernon turned dry. Because of that, Vernon eventually began to cling to you.

He'd call you non-stop every night, visit your house late, and sometimes even cuddling you in your bed. The attention Elissa can't give, Vernon would seek it from you. It was strange.. but you didn't hate it.

One night, Vernon visited you again. When you opened the door, he stood there silently for a moment. But then you noticed that he was crying..

"Elissa forgot our anniversary today. Haha.. I got my hopes up again this time." Vernon awkwardly laughs and wipes his tears.

"Wanna eat this cake with me instead?" he asked, lifting the cake he brought.
