Chapter 3

Indeed, he had never asked me to wait.

It was me who always followed behind him.

When he was in a relationship, I would stay away.

When he broke up and needed me, I was always there.

Even his friends couldn't stand it anymore.

"Haze, even a backup plan isn't as pathetic as you. Is it worth it?"

"He's just using you for entertainment, to fill the void between relationships."

But I acted as if I had never been hurt.

Never thought about giving up.

So now when I seriously said I wouldn't wait for him anymore,

Not a single person believed me.

Aiden ruffled my hair.

"Haze," he called me like he used to when we were just friends.

"It's about time."

"Being so blindly devoted to one person is scary, you know?"

Aiden smiled, his deep eyes filled with the charm of spring blossoms.

At that moment, I suddenly understood.

The opposite of gentleness is actually the most heartless promiscuity.

"While you're still young, go date more people."

"You're not ugly, why hang onto one tree?"

I thought for a moment, then smiled and nodded, "Alright, I'll give it a try."

He probably didn't expect me to agree so readily.

He was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "Good luck, try a few."
