Chapter 235: Delete Post, Delete Me
Micah’s eyes widened, his breath catching in his throat. His fingers tightened around his phone as if he could physically erase the post completely.
It meant everyone in his contacts had seen it. Everyone. Family. Friends. Classmates. Even Darcy himself.
His face flushed beet red, burning so hot it made his ears ring. He swayed slightly, overcome with a cold wave of horror. Darcy... what would he think when he saw it? The caption... he surely would tease him, saying he was so desperate to make Darcy his date or something...
His mind raced. Oh no...
Clyde...
Micah’s stomach dropped. Clyde didn’t even know it was his birthday. Micah hadn’t said a word. Not a single one. He had used the man like a cushion, relying on him when he was near collapsing, and now this... a cake photo, publicly shared, practically screaming ’I’m in a relationship...
What if he misunderstood like others? What if he got hurt by it? Thinking he wasn’t even considering him a friend to tell him something this important, like a birthday, or having someone in a romantic sense...
Micah’s breath came faster, panicked. His throat tightened.
The caption!
Micah closed his eyes. It was childish, cringy, and sounded like he was bragging about being loved. Like he was trying to show off.
Micah groaned inwardly. Please. Just someone end his life. He thought in dismay.
With every second that passed, Micah realised what a mess he had created. He wanted to turn back time. Smash his phone before he ever posted this stupid moment.
