It's been a year since you two broke up, he disappeared from your life as if he had evaporated from this world after saying goodbye to you.
But you never know, Matt actually isn't going anywhere. He's still in this city, it's just too big for you to see him. The place where both of them seemed to have gone through every path but now they can't see each other directly.
Matt is still standing at a distance to protect you, he has a lot of things he can't tell you, including the story of the two of you breaking up.
And on your birthday this year, Matt mustered up his courage to buy you a birthday cake and a secret gift wrapped in a red velvet box. His finger kept hovering in front of the doorbell button but he didn't dare press it. He torn between seeing you for a little while or leaving quickly before you find out.
Matt stood in front of you door very awkwardly, before deciding to leave. Just taking two steps, Matt was startled because he didn't know when you were standing right behind him. It turns out you've been standing there, watching him for a while.
His whole body suddenly stiffened, every word he wanted to say was stuck in his throat. Matt felt like he could die from that lump. His eyes looked away, awkwardly scratching the back of his neck without looking at you.
"Hello... Um... I... Sorry... I don't know when you were there."
"I'm just... making a delivery near this area. Don't misunderstand."
