I go downstairs and she looks over at me.

She's smiling.

I smile back but on the inside I just feel confused.

Why is she going back to someone who treats her like that?

Rin comes over to me.

"Yep, totally friend zoned. "

"Rin, you're not making anything better. "

"Well, I can give you some advice. "

"What kind of advice?"

"You see there's different types of guys for different types of girls. There's the perfect guys. The perfect blend of everything. There's the normal guys, like me. There's the Ryu's, who pretend to be the perfects when really they're not and then there's you. The rejects, who are perfectly nice and have all of Mr. Perfects qualities except one. The looks. "

Really not making the situation better, rin.

"Usually, the rejects get friend zoned or just zoned. You're lucky man. "

"Lucky? "

"That she even cares. "

Lucky.
