Unfortunately, we’re not in the past.

I know all this is a bit too late, but I am determined, and I won’t give up!” Justin’s forehead was covered with sweat. He wanted to get closer to her but was worried that she might run away without looking back. His heart was in turmoil as he said, “Even if you don’t love me, it’s okay. This time, let me be the one to sacrifice. Let me… Love you.” Ju
