I was shocked. I'found it hard to believe.
But now that | thought about it, he pampered and spoiled me. He cared for and protected me. He even risked his life to fight Shawn. He did everything he could for me. All of this was hinting atthat he liked me.

Was | that oblivious? My brain had trouble processing the shocking revelation.
While Colin was right, | found it rather awkward to regard one of my best friends as a boyfriend.
| panicked. The hands on my sides fumbled for reassurance.
“Lulu, do you think I'm not as good as Felix? Is that why you want to rejectnow?” Colin lamented.
“No, not at all.” This was too much forto handle. | didn’t expect him to confess toall of a sudden.
| had once fantasized about the scene where a guy confessed his love to me. | just didn’t know the person would be Colin. [x] Then be my girlfriend. I'll spoil you like a princess now and forever. | won't let you cry. Okay, Lulu?” | blinked. | wanted to say no, but no words could escape my mouth.
His eyes bewitched me; the mole at the corner of his eyes hypnotized me.
Inside my mind, there was a war. The part ofthat wanted to say yes fought against the part ofthat wanted to say no.
I loved Colin. Other than Dad, he was the second nicest guy to me. We had been friends for
more than 20 years. | could count on him; | could laugh and cry with him; I could take out my frustrations and anger on him.
And he wouldn't make a fuss. He never gavethe cold shoulder and was always patient with me. | believed he would remain as sweet as he was now no matter who | became.
But | had always regarded him as a friend. If he becmy boyfriend, would | be able to hang out with him like | did before? Having a friend, whom | regarded as my older brother, turn into a boyfriend did not sit right with me.

“Say yes, Lulu. Lettake care of you forever, please.” Colin whispered again. There was so much love in the eyes. No one could resist a confession from someone like him.
