The guy I've been crushing on can't stand me.
Description
I confessed to my college crush, but he completely shot me down. We promised to stay friends after that, but... one night when we're drinking together, he just breaks down crying. "Why do you have to like me... huh? Just... don't like me, okay?" Turns out he's been head over heels for my best friend this whole time. The kicker? My friend rejected him because he didn't want to hurt me. Now I'm stuck wondering if I should help fix this mess and support them both, or keep things messy and fight for what I want.
