There's this guys, who have been single since birth, that fell in love to his female officemate. He actually wanted to find a girlfriend so bad that time, but he is too hesitant to do it since he still wanted to enjoy the perks of having a regular job and getting paid. Basically, the struggle of deciding whether to remain single or to finally hook up with someone. However, everything changed since this girl came to his life.
He has been working for the company where he is right now for years already and it's been awesome. However, despite the good things that happened to his life, he felt "empty". One day, he met this new-hire and everything felt different since then. He became more alive every time that he sees this girl everyday he came to work. Finally, he got the determination to pursue the girl. He started to talk with the girl and everything seems to be going well. They go out from the office together everyday, eat lunch, watch movies, etc. Basically, he is still not confessing his feelings to the girl, but the actions felt like he's courting the girl already. She's feeling it, too.
On a very ordinary day, the girl told him that she already has a boyfriend. She told this because their closeness is making her boyfriend so jealous. In other words, she's been telling her boyfriend about what they do every time they are together. Obviously, the office guy became disappointed, but he didn't tell the girl so he just said "I understand". Since then, everything changed, but he remained his closeness with the girl. It's like, torturing yourself in exchange of temporary happiness.
Good thing, the girl resigned from the company where he is working so they parted ways already. The guy became sad, but he realised that it will benefit him in a long run because the torture will go away. It did went away, but left scars that will not heal instantly.
