Rose
It's a gentle breeze around the park. Today is Valentine's Day, and everywhere is a couple with flowers in their hands. But no one is holding a flower in their hands. Rose feels romantic every time she sees a rose or a flower in someone's hand. If she sees a girl holding a red rose, she feels true love. If she sees girls holding white flowers, she gets genuinely happy vibes.
Oh, Lizan has appeared with roses. He said I love you, babe. Then handed the flowers to Rose. But Rose didn't feel loved, she felt hurt by the thorns of the rose. The whole surroundings were making her feel empty, the breeze seemed cold and hurting.

Rose came back to her senses. Oh, at least she has a guy around her in this day, saving herself from her empty, deserted life. But Lizan seems too small to her compared to the world.

Lizan is a cute nice guy. Rose feels comfortable talking with him. He is a calm, gentle, and typical boyfriend. A typical boyfriend does everything a boyfriend should do. But they generally don't have the sense to put efforts according to their girlfriend's needs. They are happy like this.

Rose is an overly needy girl who wants to be surrounded by love all the time. She wants her lover to desperately pay attention to her everything. Her lover should be saving herself from all the pain, if she gets hurt, it should mean the end of the world to him.

Lizan is a sweet-spoken guy. Hi, Rose, how are you, I am doing my stuff, I love you, hope you are doing well, take care of yourself, etc is his conversation style. Rose doesn't think if she disappears from his life, it will make any difference to someone peaceful like him. She doesn't like this kind of guy who she can't make any impact.

She's been in a relationship, but she doesn't feel her existence matters to anyone. However, everything looks good and gentle from the outside.

It's March. It has been three days, Rose has cut off all contact with Lizan. Her phone is ringing. Lizan's call. She felt a little bit valued at first, but then everything felt empty again. Picking up his calls will feel like a thorn attacking her now.

Rose ended things with him and silently moved on. Now, she feels like it's way better if she put ointment on every wound. She feels peace and happiness from moment to moment despite carrying her burdens.
