This story is fake! Everything is part of author's imagination!

The kid who once turned on the school's alarm for no reason he only did that and left the school's grounds when everybody was running out the school building afraid it was something serious.

The kid who did whatever he want during science class. One time in a chemical project he was in my team. He wasn't supposed to mixed any chemicals that the teacher hasn't told us to use. But Leo didn't listen and mixed chemicals and more chemicals together creating an explosion in the middle of the table. "Uugh....it didn't explode the way I wanted it..." he puffed and frowned. "Idiot" I thought.

The kid that steal peoples food whenever he liked.

Who once was the most trouble maker in high school and gave almost everyone a hard time...including me.

I remember how this wasn't the Leo I knew back in elementary school and middle school. Leo and I were close friends. Leo was kind, sweet, helpful, teacher's favorite student, and people love him.....but when his parents die in a car crash...he changed. Well....if I remember correctly after his parents death he only had one person to take care of him. That was his uncle.

Leo once told me how he didn't like him because his uncle was a drunk. His uncle has two younger sons and has a new wife but his new wife does not treat the two kids well.

After the tragedy happened, he started to live with his uncle and that's when the "new" and "mean" Leo was born. I even started to hate him during those 4 years.

Now we're out of school. Probably everyone has a job, doing their dream job, are studying a career in college, probably meeting their first real love. I'm studying to be a veterinarian because of my love for animals and I'm also working in a cafe shop near my home.

But let me tell....one day......I saw him. Lee Leo.

He walked in hand in hand with a beautiful girl. She was so pretty that you could even mistake her of being a popular social media influencer. That day I had a black mask on because of COVID rules but no matter how much I hate to wear it I was glad to have it on because there could be a chance that Leo wouldn't recognize me immediately.

They walk towards the ordering desk were I was taking the orders. " I want a americano and chocolate cake" she said as she look at the list of deserts that was in front of me. Leo step forward and order " I want a latte and chocolate cake as well" he smiled lightly. I was shocked to see him smiling even a little bit. I remember him being so angry. I stared at him for a few seconds before typing the his order in the computer. "Okay it's 12.50...." I said as I got their credit card.

I watched them sit together. Leo was sitting on the opposite side of her. He held her hand across the table but she aggressively pulled her hand away. " I saw the way that ugly cashier looked at you" I heard her say and of course I felt uncomfortable hearing that. I think I should've been more careful.

Leo chuckled quietly. " she was? I didn't even notice it..." he said not showing any care. " yeah right! That's what you always say to any girl....anyway I'm not gonna get jealous today .....Leo~ I want the shoes I saw yesterday at the mall...can you buy them for me?" She cooed. She caressed his cheek softly. " of course babe, anything for you" he said as he kiss the knuckles of her hand.

I literally stand there pretending I was doing something on the computer as I watched them. Honestly I wasn't sure why I was interested to know what they were doing at that time knowing the piece of shit he was in high school. Although I don't know that young woman, for what I'm seeing, Leo seems to be so in love with her but.....she looks like she isn't....just there for the money.

" YN, I need you in the coffee area!" A co worker called me. I didn't want to leave but I had to do my tasks.

...

Then we all heard the sound of yelling and stuff been thrown down. We all run to the front desk to see what was going on.

Leo's girlfriend threw her cup of coffee to the floor and it shattered. " why you gotta be like this!" She screamed...literally screamed. She looked so angry that she suddenly took Leo's hot coffee and threw on him. "What the fuck Mirae! It's not that deep!" Leo step backwards as he look at his wet clothes. " you're the worst boyfriend! Why am I even dating you if you can't make me happy! I shouldn't have saved you when you were about to-" she immediately stop herself from saying what I think she was going to say out loud. Leo's frowned turned into a sad look. " get... the fuck...out of here...." He whispered as he sat down back in the chair in a such a tiredly and defeated way.

When I saw him looking defeated and sad I just realized that the good boy I've known before is still there....but he's broken.

"Leo! I know you went through a lot and you still are, let me help you....please..." I crouch down to be able to see his face. I put my hand on his arm. Leo slowly look at me. "YN?..." he whispered with a questionable look. " I work here....but let me take you home......you're hurting from inside ...." I said quietly looking at his eyes. "Why?....You and I stopped being friends....a long long time ago..." he said dryly as he look way from me.

But I know the Leo I always known is still there....

" we'll talk once you're clean..." I smiled as I put my hand out to him....and he took it.

...

" Do you want to eat something? Drink anything? You ask and I'll get it for you...." He slightly smirked. It was a kind and sweet smirk. He sat on a stool next to me. He changed his white shirt to a gray one and his pants too. He had his hair down instead of wearing that red cap on he had earlier. He looked approachable specially with the sweet smile he gave me.

" thank you for the offer but I ate lunch and I'm very fulled" I rubbed my belly as I laughed. He chuckled and didn't stop staring at me. " I'm sorry for being a piece of shit to you in high school..." he said in a serious voice. He licked his bottom lip and rubbed his own hands together. " I've gone through a lot of horrible shit with my uncle and....I've shouldn't have used those reasons to treat others like shit....I regret everything I did in the past...." He pressed his lips together and look down. He was crying.

I felt like crying too. He went through a lot and as the good friend I used to be to him I never gave him a chance to talk to me about his struggles. Everyone would say "" instead of asking " And I was one of them. I felt horrible.

I got off of the stool and hugged him tightly. " hey it's in the pass, I should have been there for you even if you changed, even if you bully me, I should have been by your side before judging you like the rest did....I feel at fault too...and I'm sorry for that, im really sorr-" Leo turn to look at me. His hands touching the sides of my face.

He was too close. " don't apologize, but I hope you can forgive me..." he mumbled. I smiled and nodded. " of course! Like I said it's in the pass and now we're adults living our own life....we can restart our friendship again " I put my hands on his hands that were still on my face. I grab them and pull them off my face so I can hold his hands with mine properly.

He let out a tiny laugh. "Okay...of course..." he said getting off the stool. He wrapped his arms around my neck as I wrapped my hands around his torso. " should we go out to dinner together?" You asked in a question voice. "Yes. Then I can talk to you about how I met her...Mirae..." he said sounding sad. I nodded and grabbed his hands. "Alright! We have a lot time to catch up" I smiled at him and so he did as we both shared a laugh together.
