"Jae Kim," the boy had called her as soon as the other came to the spot where she'd begged him to meet her in his note. 

She looked at him with love in her eyes, and yet, the other's countenance crushed her heart as he held out his hand to give her back the small black button she was too silly to send him earlier, with his answer.
