You and Bang Chan sat in the cozy ambiance of the café, his demeanor unusually gentle, which put you at ease.

As you sipped your coffee, he began to speak, "I've something to say," his words causing a knot of nervousness to form in your stomach. You hoped for the best, trusting in his usual kindness and sincerity.

"I... um," Chan started, his voice faltering as he struggled to find the right words. "Okay, I'll just say it. I made a bet with my friends to win you over. It was all just a game."

His words hit you like a ton of bricks, "I was just playing with you."

You couldn't believe what you were hearing. How could he say such a thing so casually, with no remorse apparent in his tone?
