Speaker A
I was the most popular guy at school, but I was miserable because every admirer I had was male. At graduation, everyone kept snatching buttons from my uniform as souvenirs, but I refused to give up the last one. I had saved it for
Speaker A
the girl I had secretly loved for three years, but in the end, she confessed her feelings to my best friend. Watching him turn her down broke my heart, too. I confronted my friend for hurting her. He could have at least given her a button,
Speaker A
but every button on his uniform had already been taken by other girls. Without hesitation, I handed him my last button so he could use it to comfort her. When [music] I saw her smile again, I finally felt relieved. But by that
Speaker A
evening, I started doubting myself. Maybe looks really did matter that much to people. When the new semester began, my friend and I walked to school together. Halfway there, we spotted a child drowning and calling for help. I jumped into the water without hesitation
Speaker A
and fought to pull the child to safety, but the people nearby had no idea what happened. They thought I was trying to take the child away. Some were even ready to call the police. Then my friend rushed over and explained everything.
Speaker A
Because he was handsome, the mother immediately believed him and kept thanking him. While I was the one who saved her child, I could only stand aside and wring out my clothes. My friend and I had been inseparable since
Speaker A
childhood. Wherever we went, I always attracted the attention of guys, and he always got the attention of every girl.
Speaker A
I had almost given up on romance until that day. I saw a strange man harassing a girl on the street. I rushed over and slammed him against the wall. The impact shook the entire building. He ran off in
Speaker A
fear, but the girl started crying, too, because I had scared her as well. I had been through this too many times, so I quickly explained that I was not a bad person. Then I walked away. I thought it
Speaker A
was just another ordinary day, but as I kept walking, someone suddenly grabbed my shirt from behind. I turned around, [music] and it was the same girl.
Speaker A
That moment warmed my heart. [screaming] The next day, she came to thank me in person and brought a homemade cake. We sat down together, and I learned that she attended [music] the school next door. What I did not know was that she
Speaker A
had already fallen for me the day before. She had come all the way there just to confess her feelings, [music] but she was too shy. She could only lower her head and stare at me and quietly ask whether I had a girlfriend.
Speaker A
[music] I automatically assumed she only wanted to get close to my friend through me. I ran to the side in despair and poured cold water over my head. I really did like her, but for my friend's [music] happiness, I answered the question for
Speaker A
him. My answer made her incredibly happy and before long, she finally confessed her feelings to me.
Speaker A
[music] Sucker!
