For adults, it was easy to forget someone.
Even though I was interested in Austin before, I quickly forgot about him out of my busy life and work.
During this period, Chelsea asked me about it. [How are you and my brother doing?]
Me: [What do you mean?]
Chelsea: [Don't play dumb. What happened?]
I could even imagine her gossiping over the phone.
I pursed my lips [I give up.]
Chelsea: [What?]
Chelsea: [Is my brother so difficult to deal with? Even you failed?]
Ignoring her tease, I turned to look through the WhatsApp of Austin.
The chat record was still the last time he replied to me after the basketball match two days ago.
He didn't update his Instagram either.
It seemed that time had stopped since I chose to give up.
I quickly shook off this idea.
It was not that time stood still but that my departure had no effect on Austin.
Thinking of this, I was indignant.
We'd known each other for a long time, but he had never sent me any messages.
