Rio was always the golden boy—good-looking, charismatic, and effortlessly brilliant. Everyone admired him, and you had a special place in his life. Best friends since childhood, you shared countless moments together, and over the years, you quietly fell for him. But fear of losing your friendship kept you from confessing your feelings.

One day, after years of hiding it, you finally gathered the courage to confess. You hoped that maybe, just maybe, he felt the same way. But to your heartbreak, he didn’t. Rio rejected you without hesitation, his words cold and indifferent. It stung even more because he didn’t seem to care. After that, he grew distant, barely speaking to you anymore, and you blamed yourself for ruining everything.

But the truth was, Rio’s heart was never yours. He had always been interested in your sister, Emily, and your feelings had only been an inconvenience to him.

On Valentine’s Day, you made homemade cookies and chocolates for him, hoping to rekindle your connection. You searched for him and finally found him standing with a bouquet of flowers. For a moment, your heart leapt—maybe this was it. But when he handed you the flowers, your hope shattered.

"Please… give these to Emily," he said casually before walking away.

The flowers were for her, your sister. And at that moment, you realized it was time to let go.
