Claire Victoria POV

I quickly opened my eyes and turned to face the person speaking. I open my eyes to disobedience and suddenly plunge into AJ.

"Hanna, what are you doing here?" I asked, trembling. Abominable! Embarrassing! Hannah actually saw me hugging AJ.

"Yeah," he said excitedly. No matter how you look at it, this girl is terrible.

"You have no sympathy. You are there with her fellow losers." She appeared to be a menstruating woman. he is ugly And then you suddenly think his behavior has returned. Very bad! ! It hurts when I speak. It's better that he was kind before. Perhaps the potion he drank expired. lost! His kindness disappeared like a bubble.

I turned to Hannah, who was frowning. She pouted as if she felt something.

"Oh, what's wrong?" he said, honestly wishing he'd paid more attention. Because my body doesn't want it anymore. Maybe I'm used to this guy's behavior. I've grown accustomed to his bad behavior.

"Um... so... Eh, because…” It was like a child. I don't know if I should feel sorry for him or what. From what I've seen in his art, it looks like a kid trying to steal candy from his waving and laughing grandpa. I'm sorry my friend, when I'm rich, I'll take Hannah to a psychiatrist to find out why she's behaving the way she does. We know, yes there is a child trapped in his body.

"Well, for what?" I asked him, slightly annoyed. Who does not get angry when faced with such a person?

"Shi .. Papa Rafael because ... he called me a loser. I am not a loser Clare and you know that." He continued to cry. Hope I don't get infected by him. I just hugged her and comforted her.

"Shh. Just ignore him. He's just a mean, selfish, arrogant creature. That's okay. You'll get over it" I never imagined myself like this. That's when I imagined, this is the scene when someone fights with my son, it looks like the world's turned upside down. I'm hugging my best friend right now and I'm comforting her just like in my dreams.

Mark Adrian's POV

I left quietly as I continued to wipe my tears. I hope he didn't see me. If only he knew how much I regret everything. If only I had a choice, we would not have ended up in this situation.

"Let me guess. You're still not over her?" I immediately turned to the woman who spoke. He just crossed his arms and looked directly.

I just continued walking and ignored him. But I know he won't just stand there because he followed me. He even accompanied me for a walk.

"Tell me, Adrian. How long? How long will I endure this?" she's almost screaming.

I faced him and bit my lip.

"As the time comes that I'm completely moved on," I promised him hesitantly. I don't want to yell at him because I know we're going through the same thing. Anyway, I don't hit on women.

"How long? How long did it take Adrian? When he had a grandchild? Or when he was about to die? ---" I suddenly slapped him. I didn't expect to be able to do that. Even I was shocked by what I did.

Meanwhile, he was stunned by the absence and his tears seemed to start falling.

"I-I'm sorry Zoe. I'm sorry" he ignored me and ran. I washed my face. What's the wheel I got into?

I hurt not only Clare but also Zoe.

Clare Victoria's POV

After I comforted Hannah, the world seemed to return to its previous shape. Because Hannah has returned to her normal self. Hopefully, his childish side won't come out because it's irritating.

"Girls .. " Hannah and I turned around when we heard Lance call us. We are just here on the bench hanging out because we have 2 hours vacant.

"Oh?" I asked Lance as he approached us and he sat in the empty seat near me.

"Guess what! There's an audition for the college prom night," Lance said happily. I turned to Hannah who now couldn't take her eyes off the young man. already know.

"College prom night? Is there such a thing?" I immediately shifted my gaze to Lance.

"Of course. Of course. Anyway, this year they're going to hold auditions for who will lead the prom night?"

"For what?" I frowned when I asked.

I heard Hannah laugh so I turned to her. "Clare, seriously. You don't know about this thing?"

I just shook my head. "I'm sorry. I don't know. You know"

It seems that when I said that, they realized that they said "Yes, of course" at the same time.

I just went. Speaking of that college prom night, the past comes back to my memory.

"College Prom Night?" I raised my eyebrows while asking Mark. I saw him smile and kiss me on the forehead.

"Yes, but don't understand that. The important thing is that we are together" he said with a smile. So I hugged him tighter.

"I love you so much" I raised my head when he said that. I saw his face was serious but after a few seconds, he returned to his playful aura.

"You too. I love you so much" and he hugged me tightly.

Dismissal. I'm ready because I'm going home. I also ignored what I read on the bulletin board earlier about the college prom night. What will happen if I read that, right? Can it change the fact that Mark broke my heart? Will this change the fact that everything Mark told me that he loves me so much is a lie?

No. I won't ever change a thing. Even a dot in history cannot be changed. Yes. It's bitter if it's bitter. Then I had a contract boyfriend, where is he? It also disappeared like a bubble, didn't it? I signed a paper that he said was a contract promising to help me forget but where is that promise now? Did it come true?

I violently wiped away the tears that started to fall. What the hell, I'm starting to cry again. I'm starting to hurt again. I really hate this feeling. I hate the feeling that inside me is crying because it knows that it's losing. Losing to pain.

"Don't cry. It's just pain. You can overcome that too. I know you will overcome it" I motivated myself. I can do this. But why is it that, why if I need to make a way to strengthen myself, my heart doesn't believe that I can overcome this pain?

"C'mon Clare. Don't cry" I ordered to myself but my heart really won more so I let go of my bag. I just covered my mouth and my tears continued to fall.

Why is that, I thought I was okay. Why do I feel like I've moved on but why is this? Why until now I only remember the past I'm crying again. Why do I still love Mark?

"That's right, don't cry" I was just shocked because someone suddenly hugged me. He hugged me tightly. I couldn't see his face because he did a back hug but with the hug, he gave me he made me feel that I was important to him.

"Shh! I'm here" I felt I had the courage because of what he said so I suddenly faced him to somehow thank him because he was there, but when I faced him I didn't expect what I would see.

"Marked?" I tremble when I pronounce his name. I don't know what I will feel. Will I be happy or hurt, will I cry or laugh?

"Why are you here? Are you here to hurt me again?" I want to be angry with him. I want to scold him because my heart doesn't want to allow me to keep loving him.

"No. Of course not. I'm here to comfort you," he said. He was about to come closer to me, but I walked away.

"No. Just go away. I already have a boyfriend and besides, you have your girlfriend, why not go to her now instead of wasting your time here" I turned my back on him and picked up my dropped bag, and was about to put it on my shoulder He suddenly kissed me on the lips and then hugged me tightly.

I was stunned because of what happened.

"Hey, did you steal a kiss from me?" I said to him and then I hit him on the shoulder. I saw him laughing and then flicking his forehead and then he ran while saying. "Chase me first" and then he laughs.

I chased him. And when I caught up with him, he hugged me tightly.

"Clare, I love you...forever" I came back to reality when I heard her voice. And without anything, my tears fell again.

"Let go of me" I struggled with him. At first, he didn't want to let me go but I continued to insist so he let me go too. When he let go of me, I saw the sadness in his eyes.

"Mark, what's going on? If you're fooling me again, please stop. I have a heart Mark, and you hurt that heart" I cried. My tears don't want to stop falling, so I'm going to pour them out. I'm going to release everything because maybe by doing this, the pain of the past may be removed.

"Clare, please let me explain." he's begging. I can see that there are tears forming in the corner of his eyes.

But I have to fight it. I have to fight myself.

"No need to explain. I already know. I accept it." I said and violently wiped my tears.

"No Clare, you don't understand. You don't know the whole story so please let me explain" she begged. I teared up even more because I saw that she was crying too. I don't know if I will believe what I see or if I will harden my heart even more. I don't want to be hurt like that.

"Mark, please..." I was interrupted because someone suddenly interjected. And what I didn't expect, he suddenly grabbed my hand so I turned to him.

"If a woman doesn't want you anymore, don't force it"

My eyes widened, why is he here?
