"Let's say there are two people, Person Y, and Person Z," Ru went on languidly as his eating movements didn't pause at all.
"Are we looking for X?" asked Hyson playfully.
Ru looked up at him and said, "No, we aren't."
"Okay," he responded and put a finger on his lips to indicate that he won't interrupt anymore. In fact, he didn't mean to do it earlier but he just couldn't stop himself from speaking up.
"So, where was I?" Ru ignored him and got back to the topic. "In the first scenario, Person Y confessed her feelings to Person Z. Person Z didn't have any feelings for her, so he rejected her coldly so as not to leave a doubt that if she tried harder, she'd be able to get him. But a week later when he was busy in his life feeling content, he heard that Person Y died since she was terminally ill."
"What?" Hyson was shocked to hear this end of it.
