Song Sui felt like she'd been seriously ill.
It happened when she saw her boyfriend smile and kiss another girl's head.
Song Sui was quiet and reserved, and had always struggled to fit in at school. The only things she was fiercely persistent about were her studies and her love for You Chuan.
She had loved You Chuan for three years.
An extra breakfast every day, neatly written notes, a small first-aid kit beneath his desk, and the bright, shining eyes she turned toward him.
You Chuan had always known. He was perfunctory with her, flirtatious, and dismissive.
He was so sure all it would take was a word from him, and Song Sui would climb mountains and cross oceans for him.
But You Chuan never expected that one day he would want to hold Song Sui's hand, or that Song Sui would accept someone else's confession.
