@hrxdorian continuation from here!
   the lunar new years was one of dorianâs favorite days in the calendar year. the rest of the month wasnât exactly his favorite. a week and a half following celebrations was a national holiday back when he lived in the states. raised overseas, thinking of this month as âthe month of loveâ was a guaranteed assumption. the air is still brisk but spring is bound to come soon enough. though with all that still, how fast the month ran by made dorian dread it just the slightest. on top of that, some ghost lingered as his mom took her life in the second week of february.
   international girls were delusional by valentineâs day, even as kids or teenagers. so as much as dorian today could forgive the holiday, he didnât favor it. he thought to himself, does he feel colder at soojinâs sudden claim because itâs the start of february? the bit of warmth it comes with counters with a tinge of bitterness. he knew soojin as his ex-girlfriend and best friend at the same time. and despite being caught off guard, he responds appropriately, to his definition.
   âyeah? i loved you too.â
her emotions towards dorian was probably a mess. they had broken up a while ago but they still hung out with each other as best friends. honestly, she wasnât sure how she felt towards dorian. if someone asks her to be honest on how she felt towards him, she would respond that she felt safe and happy around him. if she had a second chance, she would date him again. however, she really didnât know what to expect, or more so why she had blurted out that she loves him. maybe it was to mask the fact that she did love him, not as a friend but more than that.Â
for some odd reason, she really wasnât expecting that as an answer. maybe she was expecting something else, like âi love you too.â maybe it would have been better if the word he used wasnât past tense. oh how she wished that he didnât used that word as a past tense. now she felt a bit awkward for saying that she loves him. she clears her throat quietly, laughing nervously afterwards. âoh.. well... i guess youâre right...â
she tries her best to not sound sad or upset. however, she knew that it would be a lie but it might be better for her to just say it too as well. âi loved you too... i guess..â
