Chapter 20

He tossed my phone back at me, and I caught it neatly. I managed to catch a glimpse of frustration on his grumpy face.

My head started hurting. All of a sudden, I didn’t know how I was supposed to spend the rest of my winter break with him around.

If I got close to him, he would feel disgusted and get sick of me. But if I kept my distance from him, he then said that I was a killjoy who didn’t know how to take a joke.

Whatever I did, he would always find a way to criticize me.

After getting my phone back, I wasn’t in the mood to continue watching the movie anymore. Instead, I found myself over–analyzing the words he told me just now.

“You girls are all the same overthinking species.”

He used the plural form of “girl“, which meant he was referring to me and at least someone else. But then again, it wasn’t hard to guess who else he was referring to.

First of all, he used to be quite anti–social since he was young and hated talking to females. I was the only exception. As of now, the only other female he was talking to was Lilac.

He had never once belonged to me. Everything I did or felt for him was just wishful thinking on my part.

After thinking it through, I opened up the photo gallery on my phone. I then deleted each and every photo of him that I’d carefully collected and cherished over the years.

Deleting his photos had been a lot harder than I thought. It felt as if I was ripping ctparts of my sanity with each deleted photo. It was painful yet calming at the same time.

All of his photos were soon gone from my phone. From then on, I no longer had any e
