Three months ago, Sean changed drastically when his secret crush, Evelyn, became a counselor at their college. Someone who was reserved and inexpressive like him would joke and banter with Evelyn.
Sean, who spent most of his time and concentration on his research, had also taken a week off to go stargazing with Evelyn because that was her request. Someone who was usually inattentive like him even got Evelyn an imported scarf with the latest design when he noticed the weather was getting colder.
On my birthday, I told Sean that I wanted to have some cake. Yet, he said that I was not a child anymore and that there was no need for us to celebrate my birthday.
However, Sean bought Evelyn a three-tiered strawberry cake for her birthday and even brought her to the amusement park.
When I questioned him about it, Sean said that it was only right for him to take care of Evelyn, who was younger and came to a new city all by herself.
Yet, Evelyn and her parents were simply living in different cities, whereas I had truly lost my parents a long time ago.
Sean was the only family I had left in this world.
