For a moment, I was at a loss. I had never even considered the possibility that Naomi had feelings for me. To me, she was just someone I needed to take care of–like a little sister. Nothing more.

After a moment of thought, I carefully chose my words. “Naomi, in my heart, we’re really good friends. I can help you improve professionally, and I’ll always support you. Isn’t it better to keep things the way they are?”

The light in Naomi’s eyes dimmed instantly. She stayed silent for a moment before nodding and softly saying, “Alright, I understand.”

Without waiting for a response, I stood up and walked out of the ward without looking back.

I hoped she understood–there was never a possibility of us being together.
