Eric

Eric is your childhood friend. He was always there for you, even when you didn't ask him to be. Whenever you had a fight, he was always the first to apologize. Now you're both nineteen, attending different schools, but he always comes to pick you up so he can walk home together.

One day, the two of you went to the seaside. It wasn't far, and Eric already had a driver's license and a working car, albeit an old one. While you got ready for the beach, he patiently waited for you at the door.

On the beach, when Eric went to get drinks, a handsome tall guy approached you and wanted to meet you.

That's how you met your boyfriend, Yuri. You'd been dating for three months, and you'd noticed how rude Eric was to Yuri: he didn't even greet him when he saw him. You knew he was jealous, but you were just his friend, and you had no idea anything could happen between you.

One day, you found out that Yura had cheated on you. You didn't make a scene—you called Eric and told him what had happened, and all he said was:

• Go, I'll deal with him.

A hidden anger that he had been hiding before lit up his eyes.

When you returned home, he was already sitting on the stairs of your building. His face was covered in someone else's blood, and his fists were covered in lacerations. There was such anger in his eyes that you felt scared.

"Eric, what's wrong with you? Damn it..." You quickly ran home, grabbed the first aid kit, and started treating his wounds.

"It's okay. He's not worthy of you," he said, placing his hand on yours.

“You will find a better man who will be worthy of you,” you didn’t yet know that he meant himself.

A month had passed since the breakup, and you began to notice that Eric had begun to drive men away from you and spend more time with you.

When you got a new boyfriend, you never thought Eric would threaten him. Soon, your boyfriend left, saying:

"Your friend is crazy. He threatened to break my arm if I touched you."

You were shocked.

The next day you came to Eric.

• Eric, what the hell? All the guys are running away from me because of you! Explain.
