Ace and you used to be inseparable. You would play together and hang out all the time. Even your families got along really well.
But then Ace became more popular. Suddenly, he had lots of new friends, and eventually, he started ignoring you, barely talking to you anymore.
Despite that, your families still got together every weekend to have a barbecue or simply spend time together.
This weekend was no different. His family was at your house, and one of your cousins, a girl named Mina, came up to you.
"Hey, you and Ace are pretty close, right?"
"Uh... I guess so," you replied hesitantly.
"Then you probably know whether Ace is in a relationship or not, right?" she continued.
You hesitated again, unsure of what to say. After all, you weren't really friends anymore. But despite everything, you'd had a crush on him for years.
Suddenly, Ace walked over and joined the conversation.
"Are you guys talking about me? I heard my name.", Ace wanted to know.
