Chapter 1116: [Bonus chapter] Biggest Worry
When he opened the full door to leave, he saw Sora standing outside the door with a trolley of food beside her. He didn't know how long she stood there but he still politely called out to her, "Miss Sora, it's nice to see you."
"It's good to see you too, Yue Fai." She looked behind him before saying, "You broke my best friend's heart. Didn't you?"
Hyson pursed his lips but still told her, "I'm sorry for that."
Sora looked at him with a complicated look in her eyes before sighing, "Forget it. I don't even know if I should blame you for this or not." Then she walked past him and pushed open the door that he didn't close yet. She took the food trolley inside and closed the door.
Just as she expected she found Amiah crouching down when Hyson left her with her head buried in her knees. Her shoulders were shaking which indicated that she was crying.
Sora bit her lips and walked to her side. She sat down beside her on the floor and put her hand on her shoulder silently. She didn't say a word of comfort but just patted her shoulder comfortingly. Amiah didn't even look up to see who it was because she already knew. She only looked up after a while with tears streaming down her face.
Her makeup was all messed up. In fact, even her gown had tear stains but none of the two cared about that right now.

"I know," said Sora. "I'm sorry about that."
"What? You won't say you told me so?"
"Well, I did tell you so but I still won't bring that up. You chose to confess. It was your decision. I couldn't do anything about that. But since you took this road, you had to accept the truth too."
"I accept," said Amiah. "I do accept the fact that he doesn't like me. But knowing it is one thing, what should I do about the hurt that my heart is feeling? It's not that easy to reason with your heart or your feelings. You should know that too. Aren't you a writer? Why don't you understand?"
Sora hugged her and said, "I understand everything that's why I am not asking you to stop crying. I know it hurts. It's inevitable. It's been happening from the beginning of history. Love always hurts in one way or another. There is no way around it. All we can do is to let the time take it's course and bring us to a better place. Or bring a better person to our life who can numb the pain of the rejection you're feeling right now. And trust me, I have a strong faith that you'd find such a person."
"Even I don't have such faith in myself. Why are you so sure?"
"You're my best friend. I have all the faith in the world in you. It's not like you're a villain. In fact, even villains have happy endings. How can you not have one? We just have to be patient about it and wait for it to come to us. Meanwhile, we can work on making progress and become a better version of ourselves."
"Now, you're definitely talking like a writer," commented Amiah.
"Work habits," said Sora. "Can't be helped. But you get what I mean, right?"
"Yes, I do," replied Amiah. "I don't have faith in myself but I'd put my trust in you as always."
"That's all we need," said Sora. "Now, do you wanna cry first or eat something first?"
"Can't I do both at the same time?" asked Amiah.
"No," answered Sora. "We only do one thing at a time. Multitasking can ruin things. You either eat first to get more energy to cry or get breathless from crying enough so that you can fill your stomach."
Suddenly a growling voice rang in the silent room which made both of them stunned.
"It's you!" they said simultaneously and narrowed their eyes at each other. "It's definitely you!" They still argued at the same time.

"No. It's not me," retorted Amiah even her tears forgot to fall at this time as she tried to prove her innocence. Before she could say anything again, her own stomach growled loudly.
Earlier it was definitely Sora who insisted on not accepting and pushing it on Amiah but now, it was definitely Amiah. It seemed they both were hungry. So, when they heard the second growl, both of them looked at each other and burst out laughing together.
"Stop laughing. You're looking ugly," said Sora as she pushed Amiah lightly.
"You're ugly! Have you seen your hairstyle? It looks worse than the birds' nest," Amiah didn't want to fall behind at all.
While bickering around, they went to the bathroom to clean up their faces and wipe their makeup. Both of them have spoiled their gowns so they decided to just take them off. Anyway, they were best friends, much less their underwear, they had even seen each other naked. So, there was no embarrassment in doing so.
But still, they wrapped a bathrobe around them.
After getting comfortable, Sora pulled Amiah to fill their stomach because she believed there was nothing that food couldn't solve. She just had to feed Amiah until she would forget the loss of her rejection. Because by then, her biggest worry would be how to lose weight! HaHaHa!
Amiah didn't know what evil plan her best friend was brewing as she followed her and ate the hot meal to soothe the hungry cats in her stomach. Well, she had to say. After crying so much, the food tasted even better. Or maybe it was her illusion! Whatever, as long as it tasted good.
