Kent turned to look at Janet's delicate face.
She wasn't the most beautiful woman he had ever seen, but there was something about her eyes that made her stand out.
What was it about her that obsessed him?
Janet saw Kent looking at her steadily, as though he was thinking about something.
She couldn't understand what that look meant, but she couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable, what with Kent's eyes being glued to her. Unable to hold his gaze any longer, she raised her voice and asked awkwardly, "Did you hear me?"
Her question brought Kent back to his senses. He felt as though he was going insane.
Recently, he hadn't been himself. He wasn't exactly sick, but he had been feeling listless until he saw Janet.
He didn't know how long it had been since he had last been with a woman.
Ever since he met Janet, he hadn't even looked at another woman.
At first, he thought it was because he couldn't get Janet to fall in love with him that he felt drawn to her, prohibiting him from moving on to the next woman.
He didn't want things to be like this. Wasn't it better to keep playing the game than to commit to one woman who didn't even like him?
Wanting to go back to his old self, he started going to all kinds of clubs and bars, but something felt different.
Kent hadn't noticed it at first until one of his friends made a casual comment about it.
"So, Kent, when did you change your type?"
"What do you mean?" Kent looked at him in confusion.
