Ryan sat at the corner table, a perfect vantage point where he could observe the scene unfold. His eyes followed Ymir as he approached Andrea's table, a bouquet of wildflowers in hand. Ryan couldn't help but admire Ymir's courage, knowing full well the girl was already seeing someone else. "Andrea, can we talk?" Ymir asked, his voice steady yet hopeful. Andrea looked up, surprised but curious. "Sure, Ymir. What's up?"

Ymir took a deep breath. "I've liked you for a while now, Andrea. I know you're with someone, but I needed to tell you how I feel." Andrea blinked, her cheeks flushing slightly. "Ymir... I had no idea. I appreciate your honesty, but..." she trailed off, glancing away. Ryan felt a pang of empathy for Ymir, knowing too well the pain of unreciprocated feelings.

Eli, another patron, sat alone at a nearby table, sketching absentmindedly in his diary. His thoughts wandered to Mark, the man who had unknowingly captured his heart. Eli sighed, flipping through pages filled with drawings that would never see the light of day. "Why is it so hard to let go?" Eli whispered to himself, his pencil pausing mid-sketch.

Ryan watched as Ymir and Andrea shared a bittersweet smile, a silent understanding passing between them. It was a moment of acceptance, a realization that not all feelings could be returned. Eli caught sight of them and felt a spark of inspiration. He began to draw with renewed fervor, capturing the essence of unspoken words and unfulfilled desires.

Ryan gathered his things, ready to leave but feeling a sense of peace. He knew his own journey of unrequited love was far from over, but watching Ymir's bravery had given him hope. Eli closed his diary, a small smile playing on his lips. He might never share his sketches with Mark, but through art, he had found a way to express what words could not.

Ryan glanced at Eli, offering a nod of understanding. "Maybe one day, we'll find what we're looking for," he said. Eli nodded back, his eyes reflecting the hope in Ryan's words. "Until then, we'll just keep moving forward." Together, they walked into the night, each carrying the weight of their unspoken stories but also the promise of new beginnings.
