Chapter L: New friendship
"I like you."
That word is repeatedly ringing inside my mind.
Is he for real? Why is he saying this to me all of the sudden?
I couldn't even react or move here. Should I answer him? I don't know.
I don't feel the same thing for him. We barely know each other, we aren't that close.
"...I-it's alright. If you don't feel the same way. Actually, I just realized my feelings when I saw you again. I can't lose you-, No. I couldn't bear to see you suffering." He sounded confused himself.
Liam is also avoiding having eye contact with me.
"If you don't feel the same. Then I'll just ask you to stay by my side. I'm not hoping for you to return my love for you. Having you beside me is more than enough."
I can't swallow the things he was saying right now. What should I say? What can I do?
I'm pretty sure he is hurting himself just saying these things to me. I want to disappear from here.
