In our lives, besides my friends, only the colleagues have a chance as your boyfriend. I know some guys like me in my company, but only one guy as my boyfriend 3 months ago, but we broke up. I made a mistake, I want to challenge myself, but I screw it. We became colleagues, everything go back.

I’m a little bit sorry for us, we are match each other, but the timing is wrong, the place is wrong, so everything is wrong. If you break with some guys, it means they have some problems, so why we are go back.
