Michelle lay on the bed and turned on the bedside lamp. She held her phone and messaged her roommates, telling them she had said something wrong.
Her roommates soon responded in their group chat.
Lydia replied, "Really? Leon said that?"
Michelle said, "Yes."
Debra asked, "So Leon knows that you have a crush on someone and have already kissed him, and yet he doesn't know that you're talking about him?"
Michelle typed, "Yes."
Rainy suggested, "Just tell him the truth!"
Debra didn't agree. "We still don't know how Leon really feels about Michelle. If he only thinks of her as his sister, won't he feel weird?"
Lydia echoed, "Not only that, but he may also stay away from Michelle because of it.
The most important thing is to find out Leon's feelings for Michelle."
Rainy typed, "You're right. Michelle, how did Leon react when he found that you like someone?"
Debra agreed. "Yes. How did he react?
What was his reaction?" Michelle recalled Leon's reaction. "Nothing special."
Lydia asked, "Did he look happy?"
"Not really."
Lydia asked, "Was he unhappy?"
"Neither."
Lydia sighed and replied, "Then I have no idea what he was thinking."
Debra asked, "Did you notice any slight changes on his face? A frown? Or anything that indicates that he was upset?"
Michelle replied, "I don't know how to look for subtle clues like that. Only Nini can analyze something like that."
Rainy typed, "I guess you didn't notice. You must've been very nervous."
Lydia said, "Poor Michelle. Don't give up! Leon's very gentle and good to you, different from how he treats others. I feel like the way he smiles is different when you're around."
Debra echoed, "I also feel the same way, though I don't know if I'm only feeling that because I know Michelle likes Leon."
Rainy wrote, "It's so frustrating to have a secret crush on someone."
Lydia asked, "And then? Did he say anything else?"
Michelle replied, "Yes. He said I was still too young to date someone. He also told me I shouldn't kiss someone until I've established a relationship with him."
Debra asked, "You? Young? You just look young, but you'll be 22 after midnight!"
Lydia wrote, "I think Leon likes you but he just doesn't know it yet."
Rainy echoed, "I have the same feeling."
"Really? Is he the same as me? I've had a crush on him for so long but didn't know it until recently. Got it! I know now what I should do. Thank you. I'm so happy." Michelle was thrilled.
Debra was stunned. "What?" Lydia asked, "What are you going to do?"
Rainy wrote, "I also want to know."
As she held her phone, Michelle's face lit up.
