"Fifth Brother, if you had said this to me two days ago, I would have been moved to tears. But now, it's too late. Because we are already over." Connie gave a self-deprecating smile. "Actually, it's not even over, because we never even started. It was all just my wishful thinking. These past few days, I must've caused you a lot of trouble. I'm here to apologize to you."
"Connie, saying this is worse than killing me." Tong Aino pursed his lips tightly as he looked at Connie. After a long pause, he said, "What do you mean it was your wishful thinking? I was part of it, too, alright?! I admit, at the start, I didn't have the depth of feelings you did, but now I'm in too deep. This isn't something you can just end as you please."
Connie turned her head away, avoiding his gaze. In truth, as she said these words, her heart was bleeding. But if she didn't make a clean break, her heart would only suffer deeper wounds.
