Yarin’s POV:

‘I... Have fallen in love with Lily.’

After thinking this through, the emotions in my heart and my abnormal behavior when facing her were finally explained.

I placed my hand on my chest, and my heart was beating vigorously. For the first time, I noticed that my heart was cheering for Lily. Even if I was just thinking about her, it pumped very fast.

My cheeks were hot. I couldn’t help but lower my head and curl my fingers.

“Lily, I like her. I love her. n0vELUsb.c0m

“I don’t know when it started, I don’t know what I used as an opportunity, but for no special reason, 1 just fell in love with her.”

“Congratulations, buddy.” Heller shrugged.” You finally figured it out.”

“What?”

“Don’t you think you’ve made it obvious enough? Every day, you would talk about Lily and think of her no matter what you are doing. In the end, you would always talk about her. Bro, I’ve been so annoyed these past few days. Do you know why I always volunteered to buy food or patrol with Lily at the House of the Homeless?

“Because I’m fed up with the frequency at which you talk about Lily every minute and a half. To be honest, some of your guesses are reasonable. You’re sincere, but we’re not acting in a crime drama!”

“I was just... just reasonably worried! The House of the Homeless was not a good place. I’m afraid... afraid...”

“Alright, alright, whatever. I understand.” Heller waved his hand as he rolled his eyes ungracefully. “By the way, Lily was also very worried about you because you always stayed in the camp alone. Although she didn’t say anything, she always sped up when she went out to run errands to reduce the time she had to leave you behind.”

“Really? Hah, I knew Lily is a good person.”

“But don’t overthink it. According to my observations over the past few days, Lily’s worry for you is pure and unmixed with any other emotions, just like how she worries about her younger brother or child. If I had stayed in the camp, she would have been as worried about me as she was about you.”

He proudly shook his head. I pursed my lips and retorted, “No, she’ll be more worried about me. You always eat and sleep.”

“... Moon Goddess, are you really going to argue with me about this?” Heller stared at me speechlessly, “By the way, the obstacle between you two is this, Yarin.”

I didn’t understand. “What obstacles?”

“About you being too childish! Just as you are worried about, whether you admit it or not, we are just a little brat in Lily’s eyes. Maybe she likes us, but it’s like how she likes cute little brothers, kittens, and puppies. People’s first reaction when seeing children is always this; most don’t feel beyond this.”

“Did you just call yourself ‘cute’? Don’t deny it. I heard it!”

“... it’s like I’m talking to the air,” Heller said, almost speechless, as he turned over and buried himself in the blanket. “Do whatever you want. Please don’t disturb me. I’m going to sleep.”

I was only pulling his leg, but I supposed I went overboard. He was offended.

I gently poked the bulging blanket, but I didn’t get any reaction, so I whispered, “Well, I’m sorry, Heller. I shouldn’t have laughed at you. Are you tired? The doctor told me that you were supposed to sleep until tomorrow morning. I won’t disturb you anymore. Good night.”

I climbed into another single bed and buried myself in the soft bedding, but I tossed and turned, unable to sleep.

Lily... Lily...

Her frown and smile appeared in my mind again like a broken record. I closed my eyes and forced myself to fall asleep, but it was useless. Lily, Lily, Lily. I could only think of Lily if I opened or closed my eyes.

‘It is over.’ I thought.

Everything was over when I realized I was in love with Lily. I could no longer ignore this feeling or use any excuse to deceive myself that everything was an illusion.

I had only spent half a month with Lily, but she was like a lily swaying in the breeze, deeply rooted in my heart.

1 rolled over and wondered absentmindedly, ‘Will Lily forget me when I leave?’

When I looked up, a pair of resentful big eyes were looking at me.

“Heavens!”

I couldn’t control my movement this time as I waved my hand and threw the pillow over Heller’s head.

“I wanted to sleep but can’t because someone keeps tossing and turning.” He threw the pillow back to me and said faintly, “It looks like we have to talk about this tonight.”

I scratched my head and smiled embarrassedly. “I’m sorry. I swear I won’t make a peep again tonight. You can go back to sleep.”

Heller sat up, “No, thanks to someone, I’m not sleepy at all. Let’s continue to talk about your tragic first love.”

He gave an odd laugh, making me want to throw the pillow in his face again..
