I crouched outside the fence, crying while thoughts ran through my mind. I really needed to get rid of this eavesdropping habit.

I thought I had shielded myself enough, but the moment I heard Felix say that he would never like me romantically and that he only wanted to marry Lilac, my tears fell uncontrollably.
