The Backup Plan No More

Summary

In the sixth year of secretly loving my childhood friend, he fell for my roommate.

I acted as his wingman, listening to him pour out his love for her.

All I got in return was his casual remark: "Chloe, please don't ever fall in love with me."

At a party, he publicly confessed his feelings.

My roommate's gaze swept over me with a hint of a smile: "I don't date guys who are entangled with other girls."

Eyes from all around pricked me like needles.

Ethan anxiously tried to explain: "Chloe and I are just..."

I raised my hand, smiling as I showed off my promise ring.
