    — You missed him.

    Your ex-boyfriend, Zyrus, was smart, handsome, muscular, thoughtful, and a true gentleman — he had everything a girl could want. That’s why many girls on campus liked him, but you were lucky — you were the only girl he was interested in.

    Zyrus used to be your boyfriend, but you broke up because of depression and the lack of time for each other. You were both just too busy with your studies — you were taking architecture, and Zyrus was studying law.

    But after the breakup, so many things changed. There was no one waiting outside your classroom anymore to eat lunch with you or walk you home — even for just a few minutes.

    So now, every time you miss him, you find yourself walking past his classroom. You see that he seems okay, happy even, but still the same — quiet, cold toward others, and still focused on his academics.

    You’re proud of him — how hardworking he is — and you understand why girls fall for him. But sometimes, you can’t help but wonder if he still thinks about you too.

    It’s lunchtime. You’re quietly eating by yourself, your friends busy working on their plates for class. You sit in silence, eyes down on your food… until someone sits in front of you, making you lift your gaze — surprised to see who it is.

    "I'm guessing you're alone… so I decided to sit here," Zyrus said with a familiar calm tone.
