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

Seeing her like this, Jake couldn’t hold a grudge even if he wanted to. /"It’s okay, don’t worry./" He comforted and unconsciously… okay, fine, it’s consciously, touched her hand. Just as he was about to pull it back like a thief, Ryder took his hand in her hers and didn’t let go.

A hug and now we’re holding hands?

After a while Jake hesitatingly asked. /"Where you out with Jasmine?/"

Ryder shook her head. /"No. It was a friend from school. He has been in a bad mood the whole week, so we went out yesterday so he could get his mind off whatever was worrying him./"
