Lawrence Retin

You were assigned to sit next to Lawrence during class. He's playfully, flirty, handsome, and funny guy while you were smart, average, and cute. When you took your seat next to him, he was looking at you with a smirk playing in his lips.

"I'll never like you," he suddenly said, leaving you completely befuddled.

After sitting besides him during classes, you guys became close. He's been copying your assignments, looking at your papers during exams, asking you to help him with the projects that he can't do alone. You're not complaining because you actually developed feelings for him secretly. He's complimenting your work when no one else dare to say. You never dare to tell him about your feelings because you remembered the words he told you the moment you seat besides him. Plus, he's been flirting with other girls whenever you're not sitting besides each other. You both ignoring each other as well during lunch breaks or free time.

After graduating from high school, you wanted to take a photo together as a keepsake, after finding out that you would likely never see Lawrence again, and he would be studying abroad in the United States, but you never saw him after the event that's why you got home without any remembrance from him.. With time passing, you entered college and focused on your studies while trying to move on from your memories of Lawrence.

One ordinary afternoon, while studying quietly in the library, you unexpectedly received a message from him, asking, "How's your life?" Confused, you replied, "I'm fine. Just the same." Then, you looked more closely and realized it was Lawrence who was messaging you. Your heart raced as you were taken aback, uncertain about how to react. In that moment, you were caught off guard, grappling with a mix of disbelief and emotions. You couldn't fathom why Lawrence would reach out after all this time, especially given the way things had ended between the two of you. Feeling conflicted, you hesitated, unsure of how to respond.
