My friend, Shina, kept asking me why I still hadn't broke off this arrangement I involved myself in.

"Are you even sure about this?" she asked for what seemed like the hundredth time today.

"Just trust me with this one," I told her with a knowing look and the same pleading smile I always presented on my face.

She looked at me, and the pity on her expression did not go unnoticed. Then, she sighed in defeat.
