Aster: I. I don't know what to say

Ellie: you don't have to say something.

Aster: sorry. I. I better go home now.

Ellie: I'm sorry about what I said

Aster: that's fine. I'll see you tomorrow.

Aster took her bag and quickly ran out of the door. Ellie was stuck. She didn't know how to react, but after a few seconds, Aster went back .and grabbed and kissed her.

It was a romantic kiss.

Aster: ( Exhale)

Ellie: ( exhale)

Aster: I'll go now.

Ellie; ( nod )

Aster: bye

Ellie: ill go with you,

They stood outside for a few minutes, not talking and just smiling at each other.

Aster: We were down to our last two days

Ellie: yes. Do you want to go somewhere tomorrow? Or do something.

Aster: I think. I want to visit here again and stay in your room the whole day. Can I?

Ellie: ( nod and smile)

Aster: and prepare a song for me. I want to hear you sing tomorrow 😊

Goodnight, Ellie chu.

Day 6 of 7

Aster arrived without messaging Ellie.

She was taking a shower. And aster wait to her room

When she finished taking a shower, she was surprised to see Aster. Like her eyes went wide.

Aster: morning😊

Ellie: Woah! How did you get here?

Aster: your dad?

Ellie: oh

Aster: I want to give this to you

Ellie: it's your drawing. I thought this is for Paul

Aster: remember our last encounter in Paul's room that morning? You look at that and tell your insights about my drawing. You said it seems so sad.

Ellie: I said that?

Aster: you did! And that moment. I told myself, I think something is wrong. I already doubt that it was Paul I'm talking with on ghost messenger.so I ask you if I can go with you.

And that day, I realized it was you.

Ellie: I'm sorry, Aster

Aster: I guess I have to say sorry too

Ellie: ( confused)

Aster: I'm sorry because I've been insensitive.

I never thought that it was you the whole time. i thought I was falling for Paul. But the truth is, It was you I'm falling.

Ellie: ( speechless)

Aster: I know this won't change anything.

I mean, I am still going to marry trig, but at least I've been faithful to myself, even just for today.

Ellie ran to Aster and embraced her.

After that emotional hug, they both were sitting at the end of the bed.

Ellie took her guitar and sing for Aster,

Ellie: ( strumming) (singing Elvis Presley song)

"Wise men say only fools rush in

But I can't help falling in love with you

Oh, shall I stay? Would it be a sin

Oh, if I can't help falling in love with you?

Like a river flows, surely to the sea.

Darling, so it goes, some things are meant to be"

Aster:

"Take my hand, take my whole life too

Oh, for I can't help falling in love with you."
