The Day I Kissed An Older Man

As the nurses wheeled Thalia away for further examination, Lucas remained alone in the corridor, feeling overwhelmed by recent happenings. He could not shake the headache that had plagued him since everything began.

Memories of Claudia flooded his mind. After a long while, Lucas sighed, feeling mentally exhausted. Thoughts of Melody then crossed his mind. Despite her immersion in the entertainment industry, she never forgot her original intentions. In this chaotic world, she never once thought of harming others and diligently focused on her acting career.

Lucas' heart ached at the thought of Melody's predicament amidst the public uproar. He blamed himself for this situation. If he firmly believed in Melody, their relationship would not be as strained as it was. He knew that his impulsive words had hurt Melody deeply. However, seeing Thalia lying on the ground reminded him of the helpless feeling he experienced when Claudia was kidnapped because of him. He could not control his emotions. He never expected that the lie, which stemmed from Thalia, would ultimately be exposed by herself.

Lucas gazed up at the hospital ceiling, lost in thought. It was the first time he truly believed that his grandmother was right. Perhaps things would not have escalated to this point if he had clarified his relationship with Thalia earlier.

'Maybe things wouldn't have turned out like this if I had noticed Thalia's feelings for me sooner and had been honest with her,' thought Lucas.
