Three Encounters, Falling Thrice in Deep Love (9)

More than a month ago, he had mistreated her without acknowledging how much it must have hurt her; he had slept with her when he was drunk because of little troublemaker.

Looking back, he now realized that she had always been deeply in love with him, but he had only used her love to hurt her.

He had fallen in love three times, and it had always been with the same girl, and this is the girl he loves now. He wanted her to spend the rest of her life with him.

Similar to how some things happen in ways that could make people laugh or cry, so too he had only come to appreciate these things about her after she was gone.

Things didn't work out just like eight years ago, when she had asked him out for a movie for the first time, but that day he had been hospitalized after getting involved in his parents' fighting. If he had gone out with her that day, he might have stayed with her and given up his dream.
