WHY DON'T YOU… DATE ME?

A variety of emotions dominated his mind as a result of his thoughts and memories of the past. 'Are you doing well? Are you fine without me? Do you ever remember me?' Hayden pondered as he continued to stare at his former phone, lost in sadness. He lacks the courage to pick up the phone in case he receives another letdown, which he can't afford at this point.

Hayden's hand reached for the camera button he had turned into a fortune necklace he now wore on his neck, and he couldn't help but pull at it, unaware.

Mia fixed her gaze on Hayden, who was sitting in the garden, distracted while playing with his catchy necklace. He was lost in his thoughts so much that he didn't hear her approach, unlike other times, and it made her heart ache at the sight of his pitiful expression.

The reason Mia decided to stay at Grail State is because of Hayden - even though he never knew. He had helped her back when she was a stranger to him, and she would also do her best to help him.
