บท 323: The past and now Shui

In the restroom, Shui had locked herself in a stall, wiping her eyes. Seeing Jin ignore her so blatantly crushed her heart. 

"Shui?"

She heard Ai's voice and straightened up. "Oh, Ai. What happened?"

"I know you are crying inside. Will you please come out?"

Silence.

Ai waited for her outside. The door slowly opened, and Shui came out with slightly red eyes. Without saying anything, Ai took a step forward and gently hugged her. 

Shui couldn't hold her tears back and broke down silently. "I am sorry…"

"Why are you apologizing?"

"Because I thought I won't let Jin affect me anymore, but I always fail in the end. Heh, even now, I was happy that he sat opposite me. But when he took another plate, I realized it was so stupid to feel that way. He doesn't even want to touch anything that I have touched already."

She awkwardly said, "I wanted to ask Jin about his injury and if he was okay. I guess he doesn't need my concern."
