Can’t Win Me Back

Jasper's pupils trembled uncontrollably.

Suddenly, the pain deep within his brain intensified, as if someone was punching his skull from the inside, trying to break free.

"Lyse." From the depths of his mind, he could vaguely hear himself calling that name.

"Jasper. Jasper, are you okay? You look awful," Justin asked in a concerned voice.

Jasper ran his tongue across his teeth and blinked hard, his eyes already red.

"T'm fine," he answered.

Justin continued, "I'm telling you this because I don't want you to feel uncomfortable when I start officially pursuing Ms. Alyssa.

Even though you two have broken up, you were once truly in love." 1 He smiled slightly.

"I don't want you to feel like I'm stealing the woman you loved.

I just hope I can pursue the person I fancy without being influenced by anyone." Jasper's headache worsened, causing dizziness.

Afraid that Justin might notice, he ended the conversation quickly.

"I've already broken up with her.

Whatever you do is none of my business." He turned to leave but froze after two steps.

He couldn't help but ask, "Justin, when did you start having feelings for her?" Justin, his back turned, squinted at the sky, pleased.

"I can't remember exactly.

Maybe it was when I first started envying you— envying the pure romance you had.

It wasn't until I saw Ms. Alyssa crying earlier that I knew I wanted to treat her well.

I can't bear to see her cry." After leaving the rooftop, Jasper dragged himself toward the parking lot.

The cold air he inhaled felt like sharp icicles piercing his lungs, an agony beyond words.

His headache was unbearable, and he struggled to keep moving.
