"The fuck? But if you keep picking me up like this every day, it's the same thing! What's the difference? Eventually, you might actually fall for me!" Aiden exclaimed, throwing his hands up in exasperation.

"Huh?!" Dhimas's eyes widened in shock.

"Yeah, exactly!" Aiden shot back, rolling his eyes.

"Oh... yeah, you're right... I just realized... okay, I'll go now..." Dhimas muttered, his excitement deflating as he realized the truth in Aiden's words. He turned to leave, sadness creeping into his voice.

Dhimas could only chuckle, amused by Aiden's bluntness.
