Chapter 2

I really couldn't understand it. Even though I was poor, I hadn't done anything to provoke them. Where did all these hostilities come from?

Lina was still shouting downstairs. It was loud enough for the entire dorm building to hear.

Zack snickered. "You might as well go down. What's the point in hiding?"

Louis took it a step further, yanking the door open and calling out to the crowd in the hallway. "William is right here in the dorm, acting like a coward and too scared to come down!"

Laughter echoed through the hallway, and I forced myself to act like I didn't care at all. With their mocking eyes on me, I walked downstairs, step by step, until I stood before Lina.

I stood still and hadn't looked up. Then, a plastic bag hit me hard.

"William, this is all the junk you gave me. I'm returning it to you! Don't bother me again, got it?"

I looked down at the pile on the ground. Not all the gifts I'd given her were there. The expensive things like necklaces, phones, shoes, and bags remained with her.

The only things tossed back at me were the ones I had made for her myself. Among them was the moon lamp, which I spent an entire month creating.

I tried to stay calm, but when I looked up, my vision blurred for a second.

I couldn't accept it.

"Fine, if we're breaking up, that's the conclusion. But Lina, just tell me one thing, you stop loving me, or did you never love me at all?"
