The class that Rose had to attend today was all over. The girl walked out of her faculty building.
"Rose, is your class over?" Asked a girl who had suddenly been walking beside him.
"Nana? Ah— is done. How's yours?"
"Just like you." Answer Nana.
"That's it."
"Do you want to come home with us?" Nana asked as she pointed at someone who had been following them from behind.
Rose turned her head back, following the direction of Nana's finger pointing at a man, the man turned out to be Yuan.
"Ah no thanks, sorry I had to refuse it. Because I have to go to my part-time job." Said Rose.
"We can drive you." Nana.
"No— is unnecessary. I don't want to bother him anymore." Rose said, Rose's intention is, he doesn't want to trouble Yuan anymore.
Right now, Rose was struggling to forget about Yuan. That was what he had promised Yana, but whether he could or not, Rose was trying.
Therefore, unwilling to be in close proximity to Yuan, Rose had to keep his distance, and as far as possible, reduce the intensity of their encounters, both intentionally and unintentionally.
"I don't feel bothered, after all just think of this as a reply for you because it helped—"
"Eh! Looks like the bus is almost coming, I have to hurry, otherwise, I can be left behind the bus later. I'll go first, see you." Sela Rose, the girl then just ran over, leaving thousands of questions in Nana and Yuan's head that saw her strange demeanor.
"What's wrong with her?" Ask Nana.
Yuan was silent, his gaze fixed on Rose who had already run away from them.
"Did you tell him to stay away from you?!"
"No." Answer Yuan briefly.
"Don't lie Yuan! You don't know thank you, do you? He's been helping you, but now you're acting like that to him."
"I told you, I didn't tell him to stay away or anything. Whether you believe it or not, I don't have time to argue with you. You want to come home with me or not, if you hurry." Yuan said as he walked ahead of Nana who was grieving at him.
They made their way to the parking area, got into Yuan's sports car, before long, the car drove away from the campus area.
When crossing the bus stop that he used to sit often to wait for the bus to come. Seen by Yuan the figure who was with him a few weeks ago.
Rose seemed to be sitting alone there, Yuan knew that just now, Rose was lying about being left behind by the bus. Because Yuan already memorized the bus schedule that the girl was going to ride.
"What do you see?" Ask Nana.
"Nothing." Yuan replied, the man stepped on the gas pedal and further accelerated the speed of the car, moving away from the bus stop.

A few minutes' drive, Yuan and Nana arrive at Gavin's house. Two cousins broke into the house after parking the car into the garage.
"I'm home." Said Yuan who was already his habit.
"Oh Nana, you're coming home Yuan huh. You haven't been here in a long time." Said Calista's grandmother, he had intended to welcome Yuan, but when his gaze caught Nana's figure, a sense of pleasure that was so obvious enveloped him.
"Hello grandma, how are you?" Sapa Nana's.
"As you can see, it's getting older." Answer grandma Calista.
"But after all, grandma still looks youthful." Sanjung Nana's.
"Ah you could have. Oh yeah, you guys haven't had lunch, have you? Let's have lunch first."
"Yuan hasn't been hungry grandma." Yuan.
"Mom's home?" Ask Yuan.
"It wasn't long ago to go back to the restaurant." Answer grandma Calista.
"Try you forced Rose to drive her, you could also meet Ana's aunt there." Nana.
"Rose? Who's that?" Ask grandma Calista.
"Luan's girlfriend's grandmother." Answer Nana origin.
"What did you say? Don't just talk. Grandma don't listen to Nana's words, she's lying." Yuan.
"Ck, don't be sorry if he belongs to someone else." Nana.
"You think he's an item that can claim ownership? Never mind, I want to rest." Yuan said to Nana.
"Yuan went to the room to rest huh grandma." Yuan was polite to his grandmother.
Grandma Calista nodded with her smile.
"Yes, if you're hungry later, ask the butler to prepare the food that your mommy made ya."
"Yes grandma." Yuan replied, the man then walked up the stairs to his room.
"That kid, doesn't understand his feelings yet." Nana Mumbles.
"Come on Nana, we'll eat." Take grandma Calista.
"Yes my grandma." Nana replied while taking her eyes off Yuan who was still climbing the stairs.

Rose walked down the sidewalk of that highway. His feet kept stepping under the scorching sun.
He is not heading to the restaurant where he works, because today he is actually getting his weekly holiday.
He lies to Yuan and Nana because he really has to start his fight to stop loving Yuan.
In any case, he was not comparable to Yuan. Rose thought, he would never be able to be with Yuan. Therefore, he must stop loving the man from now on, before it is too late, which causes the wound in his heart to open wide.
Rose stopped his steps when his feet reached the end of the sidewalk, in front of him was seen an asphalt road that looks like a climb.
An overpass or flyover was right in front of his eyes. A simple but very meaningful place for him, a place that until now continues to reside in his memory.
Sweet memories that have been able to change the mindset and life that happened in this place.
Rose began walking, moving her feet toward the flyover, and continued walking on the side of the bridge until her feet rested on the spot where it all began.
The place where Rose was standing right now was a starting place for her meeting with the man.
Although the man had forgotten that day, Rose still remembered it very clearly.
Rose smiled in memory of a memory that had passed over these six years.
The girl then took out a candy that looked worn and must have expired from inside her bag.
For a long time he looked at the candy, even if blinking was not a necessity, then Rose probably would not blink at this time, because it was too focused on the candy in his grasp.
At the blink of an eye the umpteenth time, Rose seemed to be blown away in memories six years ago.
Roll the film as if it was playing in his head. Slowly, that memory brought him back six years ago.
At the time, she was standing as a sixteen-year-old girl, a high school girl who was betting on her life.
