“Yes, I've decided to treat you like a normal friend in the future. Although our hearts don't beat as one, you don't need to estrange yourself from me. It'd be best if we can maintain a friendly relationship.”
Jonas was left dazed by Megan's words. The cameraman, too, was dumbstruck while holding the camera. There's really something going on between them! But, it seems like Jonas' love is unrequited.
Seeing Megan's resoluteness, Jonas looked away from her and let out a bitter smile. Her answer was within his expectation since he was rejected many times.
The feeling of heartbreak was replaced by numbness as he had gotten used to her rejection. He knew Megan was trying to let go of
the past between them with a hug.
If it were in the past, Jonas would emphasize his love and tell her that he was the right choice for her. Now, all he did was gaze at her calmly.
After all, he shouldn't be pining for someone who couldn't return his love.
Jonas curled his lips into a smile, feeling relieved. As he opened his arms wide, his eyes were the way they were during their first encounter, bright and clear.
“Sure. Come on then, let's end this with a hug.”
Seeing that, mixed emotions surged within Megan's heart. In the end, they all morphed into a pleasant smile on her face. She stepped forward and wrapped her arms around Jonas' waist.
“Jonas, I'm happy to be your friend. And I hope that one day, there will be a woman who will find it happy to be your girlfriend.”
After a while, Jonas loosened his hold. As he pulled away from Megan, the warmth of the embrace that he wished could last forever soon disappeared, leaving only an empty void behind.
Nodding his head, he uttered, “Well, I hope you made the right choice.”
The two exchanged a smile as both knew it was time for them to make a fresh start.
Unbeknownst to anyone, Jonas' heart was grieving. The poor guy still needed time to heal his broken heart.
Looking at the two in the camera, the cameraman sighed. It was such a dramatic scene where the two confessed their true feelings.
Unfortunately, they couldn't broadcast it since it
