Chapter 2

Thinking about it, Jax really had changed a lot.

When he was little, he was vibrant and cheerful, a ray of sunshine.

Then his parents frequently fought, eventually divorcing.

Because of it, his personality grew more rebellious, and he gradually stopped wanting to go home.

I always thought he was just too cold, that’s why he put up a prickly front.

Coincidentally, my home had so much warmth, I could spare some for him.

He always used to protect me when we were little. Now it was my turn to stick by him like a tiny firefly.

So, after that,

When he skipped class, I’d take notes for him.

When he fell and got hurt playing basketball, I’d tie his shoelaces.

He’d glare at me, tell me to mind my own business, and throw the notes I handed him back.

But the next day, those notes would always appear deep inside his backpack.

And he’d eat every bite of the breakfast I brought him.

After a while, people started joking around him, saying I was his biggest fan.

That time, Jax got into a fight with them right in front of the whole class.

Later, those guys disappeared, and I never saw them again.

I thought that Jax and I, after more than ten years as best friends, were special.

But after Serena Chen showed up.

Everything changed.
