they haven't really seen each other since valentine's day, and that was more than fine by him — it's not like he had much to say to her, it's not like she'd say much to him, either. maybe he's being unreasonable, but he can't help being hurt by it. it's also unreasonable and petty for him and mari to be faking being 'friends with benefits' or at least 'hook-ups', but fair's fair. right? when he sees mirae walking into the same restaurant he's having lunch at, he exhales slowly. as annoyed as he is with her, as hurt as he is by her, seeing her is a reminder that he still loves her. always will. they fight and fight, it's a whole push and pull between them, but they always end up with one another. still, he can't be here... he can't be around her. elias takes out his wallet from his back pocket and places a few bills down to cover his meal and extra for a tip. elias wants to say something mean, something petty, something to strike the match and cause a fight but he can't bring himself to do it. instead, he walks out. it's in that moment he realizes just how hurt by her he truly is.
