Dual Reflections: A Twist of Fate      

As Xin scrolled through the chat, he discovered that it was only for the upcoming reunion scheduled for December. 

It was a mere month away, following closely on the heels of the fast upcoming auction and the onset of the holiday season.

The excitement among his high school buddies was palpable, evident in the flurry of messages exchanged. 

Yet, amidst the anticipation, Xin found himself grappling with conflicting emotions as he considered attending. 

On one hand, he longed to reconnect with old friends and catch up on lost time. On the other hand, the prospect of facing Meilyn loomed like a shadow over his decision.

Surely, his presence would spark discussions, and he wasn't prepared to confront the memories associated with Meilyn just yet.
