First Kiss~~ (Complete)

Chapter 11: Past lover

Back to Akiko's POV

It felt really good that my brother approves me dating Ken.

I didn't actually imagine that it would be this complicated.

But, I never also thought that being with the person you love who also loves you  felt so good.

Today is our first monthsary.

After how many years of hiding my feelings to Ken.

After how many years of pretending that I don't like him.

...

"I wonder what I should cook today?"

Ken, will come to our house and we....as a family will celebrate it.

 "Ah, I should cook tomato soup."

I fixed myself and checked if I have enough money to buy the ingredients.

"Okay, I am ready to go."

I went to the market.

"Oh no! I forgot.....the list of ingredients on the table!"

I run towards the bus stop...hoping this would not cause me time for preparation."

I looked at my watch, oh I hope it is still there.

I run and run......but I stopped.

I saw Ken..........and Yuna-san.

I was watching them.....and then she kissed Ken.

(Writer's Note: Music starts here)

I sighed and walked away.

I walked towards the bus stop again.

After a few minutes, the bus came.

I sat at the back.

I looked at my phone.

I removed the battery and put in my bag.

Gush, I never thought it would hurt so bad. What was I expecting? Ken was in love with Yuna-san before. And now, now...that Yuna-san liked her. 

I sighed.

I should have known. I should have expected that he would still come back to her.

Tears started to fall....but I stopped it. I wiped my tears and when the bus stopped... I went out.

I went to the bookstore.

I picked a compilation of peoms and read it while I sit beside one of the book shelves there.

I was reading it....then I noticed that someone is beside me. 

He is also reading a book.... I am not sure what it is so I tried to read it....then she looked at me..

"Jinno?" (Writer's Note: If you don't remember, Jinno is the first suitor of Akiko. He was mentioned by Hotaru on Chapter 5.)

I asked.

"Yes, why are you here?"

I did not answer. 

"Okay, what are you reading?"

"A compilation of peoms."

He smiled and said...

"I never knew you love poems."

"Well, not really. I just like how it is so direct.... and beautiful."
