With tears in your eyes, you walked through the hallways of building 5. You have a huge crush on Samon, and today you finally decided to confess. But sadly, it turned out he doesn't feel the same, which broke your heart a little.

You were on your way to see your best friend Liang. He was the one who convinced you to do it, so you needed to tell him how it went.

Having reached his cell, you rubbed your eyes to get rid of the tears that were almost starting to roll down your face, and looked into the cell through the bars. All three inmates were there. You shrugged and opened the cell door; Upa and Qi also know about your crush anyway.

"Oh, (y/n), how did it go?" Liang asked when he saw you entering the cell. The other two were used to your visits and minded their own business, knowing you just came to talk to your friend.

"Not so well..." Your voice broke, and you failed to hold back your tears.

Liang took you in his arms, letting you cry on his shoulder while he stroked your back.

"I'm so sorry to hear that... If there's anything I can do for you, let me know, okay?"

"Thanks... This will do... for now." You whispered back, hugging him tightly.

You kinda already knew that Samon doesn't see you as more than a colleague or friend, and never would. You weren't ready to confess, heck, you never even thought you'd have the confidence to do such a thing. Even though it was Liang who pushed you to do it anyway, you felt like an idiot.

"I never should've done it..." You wiped your tears away after being released from Liang's hold, "I feel so stupid."

Sighing, you stared at the floor, clenching your fists and biting your lip to keep yourself from crying more.

"Hey, at least now you know how he feels about you," Liang said as he put a hand on your shoulder, "I'm sorry for... you know, making you do this, kinda..."
"It's not your fault. No need to be sorry. I should get back to work now, I'll see you later..." Giving him a sad smile, you turned away to leave, but were stopped by a hand grabbing your own.

"(y/n), wait..."

You blinked, and stared at Liang who seemed a little... nervous?

"What is it?"

"What would you say if I asked you to... have dinner with me? I know you always eat with the other guards, and it may be weird if you sit with an inmate, but..." Liang paused to take a deep breath, "I just... wanna spend more time with you especially because you're feeling bad right now it's totally not meant as a date or anything!" He quickly looked away from you with a red face.

You needed a minute to process what he just said. Usually, you'd try to sit next to Samon during lunch or dinner, but now that you know he doesn't like you the same way you like him, you'd rather avoid him as things would probably be kinda awkward between you two.

Sitting with your best friend sounded much better right now.

"Sure, I'd like that," You replied, giving him a kiss on the cheek, "See you then!"

You waved and left the cell, giggling at the sight of Liang's face turning even more red after your answer.
