Chapter 14 - Stargazers

10 years ago…

Finally getting off work, I immediately went to the bathroom and showered. After that, I immediately went to my friend’s room that has a window overlooking the hot springs and pool.

I saw that Jeremy is there, basking under the sun as he reads a book on the lounge chair.

I can’t believe it, he reads! A massive turn-on.

As attracted as I am to him, I knew that this is the kind of man you pass by admiring but never able to actually interact with.

Besides, he would think I’m too young or unattractive.

I’m sated admiring him from afar.

Accepting that fact, I went to the break room to be with my other friends.

After we watch a couple of movies, Stella finally looked up from her phone and talk to me.

“So, have you tried making a move on that crush of yours?”

I immediately felt my cheeks getting warmer as I look away. “N-no! Besides, I’m not really sure what to do. It’s just a crush.”

“Oh come on! It’s not like there’s something for you to lose!”
