On the fifin day, she was making a meal in the kitchen while wearing an apron. The kitchen hoodwhirred.

“Nothing, I just wanted to hug you.” Ethan simply couldn’t step away from her for a second.
Olivia was rendered speechless, wondering, “Did I add something weird to the food? He’s acting weirdthese days.”
He hugged her from the beg, acting cute like a little kid. “I’m just regretting how I didn’t appreciate youwhen you’re such a lovely person.”
She snorted angrily.
“Yes, I had this coming. This is my punishment.”
“Enough, wash your hands. Let’s eat.”
Their time together was coming to an end. The number of meals she would make for him could becounted with two hands.
Still, Ethan didn’t release her. “Don’t move. Let me hug you for a while longer.”
Dead silence filled the room. The steam rose from the meat that was fried a moment ago.
There was a snowfall. The snowflakes sneaked into the window and landed on the back of her hand.
It felt cold, but the world appeared wholesome for some reason.
The door opened to reveal Krystal running over with dinner. “Sova, look what I bought you! It’s-”
Words failed her as she watched the scene.
The man she loved for so long was hugging another woman, and she had never once seen that gentleexpression he was wearing before this
So he did have such a gentle side to him. It was just that it wasn’t for Krystal.
He frowned. ‘How many times do I have to tell you to knock before you come in?”
She was covered in snowflakes and sweat. “Sova, I especially went to the grilled chicken restaurantyou love It’s still hot. J-”
Ethan released Olivia.
He thought he had made himself clear a few days ago, but Krystal didn’t give up.
“Krystal, I made myself clear a few days ago that I have no feelings for you. You don’t have to do thiskind of thing anymore. This is nothing but your one-man show.”
Sad, she wiped her tears away. “B-But I just wanna treat you better.”
“Relationships are supposed to be mutual. When only one party is putting in effort, it is called a one-sided relationship. I won’t reciprocate your feelings.”
Krystal pointed at Olivia. “What about her? She doesn’t love you either. Aren’t you involved in a one-sided relationship, too?”
“This is my freedom of choice. Instead of wasting your time on me, why don’t you chase after yourfreedom again? I can’t give you anything.
“Meals are something someone makes for their lovers. You’re not that person to do it for me.” Ethanput it more cruelly.
Once again, Krystal cried and ran away.novelbin
Olivia filled the plate with rice while commenting, “You can bring yourself to do that, huh?”
“If you give hope to someone you don’t have feelings for, that is hurting them. Krystal is simply astraightforward person. She’s spoiled by her family.”
The duo sat down. She filled his plate with his favorite dishes.
“Don’t you like this kind of innocent woman?”
He chuckled softly. “You’re wrong, Liv. I don’t like innocent women. I like you.”
He pinched her cheek. “I’m sorry about her slapping your face.”
“Who are you to apologize in her stead? I’ll return the favor sooner or later.”
She moved his hand away. “Let’s eat. The food is getting cold.”
He silently watched her. The determination in her gaze appeared different from the past.
