Rebirth Into My Second Chance

"Didn't like yesterday's gift? That's why you're throwing a fit today?"

"No," I answered firmly, but he still thought it was because of yesterday's incident that I was upset. "Then why aren't you eating?"

"Fine, I'll eat." As I picked up the lunchbox to eat in front of him, he figured I was still being moody. "Really want to make a scene?"

"I'm not making a scene. I've been standing at the operating table for four hours today. After surgery, I had lunch with my mentor, then came back to rest. If anyone's making a scene, it's clearly you."

He didn't respond for a while. I continued, "You were the one who canceled my scholarship spot, so why bother bringing me lunch every day? Is it really just out of brotherly love? Don't you see the contradiction in your actions?" I leaned coolly against the wall, glancing at his lunchbox. Everything he was doing seemed pretentious to me.

"Anyway, Kate asked you out for coffee today. Why didn't you go?"

Puffing my cheeks, I didn't know what to say. I had been in surgery all morning; there was no way I could meet up, plus, he hadn't bothered to check if I was tired from surgery.

He only cared about why I hadn't eaten the lunch he brought or why I didn't accept his lover's invitation.

"I didn't have the time today."
