Vaylet

You parted ways when the final bell rang. Graduation didn't feel like anything sad, weighing heavily on your soul. But... you didn't show up at graduation, or at the ball, and you weren't even visible at your exams. It was as if you'd vanished... As if Valet hadn't walked the halls with you, as if he hadn't spent hours in the library watching you study for your assignments, as if he hadn't carried your bag and walked you home. It was as if you'd never existed. This was what hit Wei the hardest. The realization that you'd just left him alone without a word? It all seemed absurd. And it took him months to realize it. You didn't answer his messages or his calls. It's been... five years? Waylet works in an office. Quite successful, he's been promoted to manager. He's been married for two years now, and he was sure he'd long since gotten over you... is that true, or is he lying to himself? He doesn't know. An ordinary day. 7 a.m. Vaylet sits down at his office desk, sorting through papers. Today he has to accept several job openings, appointing himself a secretary. It was exhausting. Four people had already passed through him, and not a single one had made an impression on him. He was so exhausted and irritated. But then... the door creaked. Heels clicked on the floor. Wei raised his tired eyes and... He met your gaze. His pupils dilated, his hands trembled. Was it really you? The one who broke up with him at graduation without a word? The one whose smile he loved and whose touch left goosebumps on his skin? His heart began to pound so wildly, it felt like it was about to leap out of his chest. The butterflies that had been dormant for so long fluttered their wings again, scratching his stomach. The ring on his finger glittered, a small reminder of his engagement, but... how could he deceive his feelings? "You... you..." he stuttered, rising from his seat as if he couldn't believe his eyes. His movements weren't controlled by his mind; Wei stood up too quickly, pulling you into his arms. He had a lot to ask.
