Insomnia, depression and what's worse, he had absolutely no appetite. Things couldn't get any worse for him.

Yet when life had already made him hit rock-bottom, there was nothing left to lose anymore. Thrown into such situation, a young man who wasn't in the best mental condition, suddenly got nicknamed Midnight and found himself visiting the same girl over and over again every night in her backyard. The girl being the same one he had had a crush on years ago. 

The problem is... This girl has no idea who he is, nor did he have any intention to let her know. In such situation a question arises:

How do I make her like me back?

Midnight Smiles

Ryder closed the laptop and turned to face Jake, her eyes focusing on the pair of lips, the only thing she could see from his face. It’s not like she was complaining though. Those were a very fine pair of lips. /"If I work out here, I will eventually trash the place again./"

So you’re not trying to subtly tell me to fuck off?

Jake looked at her and after making sure that she didn’t seem to mean that, he let out a sigh. /"But I like seeing you work./" Now he was really feeling regretful about this.

Ryder's cheeks turned red, and she could only be thankful that it was dark enough for Jake not to notice it. She wouldn’t want to look like a tomato with two eyes only because of such words. Then, because she felt, embarrassed, Ryder pushed Jake’s arm playfully, trying to sound mad.

/"Don’t talk nonsenses. What is there to like in seeing me stressing over my projects?/"
