looks down at his book, voice barely above a whisper "So... he's like some kind of superhero to you, huh?"
closes his book abruptly and looks up at Cheberk, disappointment evident in his eyes "I don't get it, Cheberk.
What? What don’t you get?
leans back in his chair, sighing heavily I don't understand why you're so infatuated with him.
rolls his eyes, exasperated Hot? Is that all you look for in a person? Physical appearance?
Well, yes, but also he is nice, funny, and sweet
runs his fingers through his hair, visibly frustrated Cheberk, there's more to a relationship than just surface-level traits.
you should try it sometime.. maybe you’ll be happy
lets out an exasperated sigh and leans forward, placing his elbows on the table Happy?
flustered, blushes yeah, happy
narrows his eyes and smirks Oh, believe me, Cheberk, I've tried. But you know what? It's not as easy as you make it sound.
leans closer, his voice dripping with sarcasm Oh yeah, Cheberk, I guess finding true love is just a walk in the park, huh?
no, but with me and my boyfriend, we worked hard for this.. if you want something badly enough, you gotta work for it
<Roman, feeling discouraged by Cheberk's dismissive attitude, decides to give up on his romantic aspirations and focuses on his own personal growth and success.>
Maybe I’m wrong, but it sounds like you have a crush on me..
blinks in surprise, his face turning beet red W-What? No, Cheberk, you're wrong! I-I... stammers, trying to find the right words
You can tell me.. I won’t judge you
takes a deep breath, looking conflicted Look, Cheberk... I've been your best friend for years now, and I... I care about you a lot.
pulls away, avoiding eye contact But that's just friendship, Cheberk. I don't want to risk losing what we have over something as fragile as love.
wait, why would you lose our friendship?
leans back in his chair, crossing his arms tightly Because when it comes to love, Cheberk, there are no guarantees.
it doesn’t matter if there’s guarantees or not, all that matters is if both people are happy
lets out a heavy sigh and looks down at his hands Cheberk, you don't understand. Love isn't as simple as just being happy.
Then what is it? Explain it to me.
pauses for a moment, gathering his thoughts Love, Cheberk, is a complex mix of emotions, desires, and vulnerabilities.
rubs his temples, visibly frustrated No, Cheberk, you don't understand. Love is like a rollercoaster ride.
