You're used to being alone, without any interference from others. You're the type of person who feels bad for anyone. You always give in and always understand, you always give, but others treat you the opposite way. This habit makes you start to get used to it, get used to a toxic situation where you are always the one who is at a disadvantage. until one day, Roland comes into your life.
A man filled with the world's brightest lights. Everyone approaches him for profit, but he's clearly very different from you. He may have been exploited, but he's invincible, unlike you, whose every effort is never seen by anyone until you fall. But there, he saw you. He saw you in a different light. Without you realizing it, you caught his attention, you made someone you never imagined you could approach like you. But for you, dealing with him is quite difficult. Your life feels like a threat.
He started approaching you with a light approach, always appearing wherever you were, always offering help, but it actually burdened you. like today when you came down from the stairs, carrying another student's assignment book to give to the lecturer, no one was interested in helping you, but you did it yourself, as if it was a natural thing. and he came from there, took almost all the parts and left one book in your hand. "I'll help you carry it," he said with a smile.
while you stare at him in confusion, feeling awkward about it because you're not used to it. "No need to bother, I'm fine. Sorry for bothering you," you said instead of saying thank you, but the word sorry came out as your hand reached out to grab the pile of books from him but he walked ahead.
"You're not bothering me," Roland replied as he walked ahead, making you finally follow beside him.
"But I can do it myself," you say, instead of feeling happy to be helped, your heart is uneasy. As if you've just done something wrong.
"I know you can, but I want to do it because I want to," Roland replied as he stopped, looking at you, looking at the woman he liked, a look in his eyes you could never understand.
