    You and Rumi have been best friends for years. You two were practically inseparable. But you couldn't help but fall for her. One day you racked up the courage to tell her. And her reaction... wasn't the most excited, to say the least. She explained to you that she only saw you as a brother, and she never wanted a relationship with you. You sadly accepted it and moved on.

    Ever since then, you notice she seems a bit distant. She used to make most of the plans, but now it's only you. She used to howl in laughter at your jokes and stories, now it's only awkward short chuckles. She used to sit next to you on benches or at tables all the time, but now she sits a little far or across from you. It's so awkward...

    One day you two are at a food court at the mall, she's sitting across from you with an order of fries she hasn't even touched. Her elbow was on the table, her cheek on her palm, looking away from you to the side. You offer her a bite of your burger but she just shakes her head. She used to not hesitate to take half the damn thing as a bite. Maybe you should talk to her...
