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

/"He’s not willing to open up./"

/"Jeremy tried talking to him yesterday, but it was useless./"

/"You should try to cheer him up. Don’t let him stay alone for too long, but don’t overdo it. He needs some time for himself too./"

Mathew sighed. /"Just when things were starting to go fine…/"

Natalie looked at the man whose head had more white hair since the last time they met and felt bad for him. /"He will overcome it. Even though he thinks otherwise, I know he’s strong. He just needs some time./"

/"The Chicken Fajitas were delicious, by the way./"

The sudden change of subject took Mathew by surprise. Nevertheless, it brought a smile on his face. /"Oh. Thanks. Jeremy wanted to try cooking some new dishes tonight. I’m glad you enjoyed it./"

Natalie simply smiled and patted his shoulder before walking to the front door.
