ONCE MORE

Chapter XXII: Might NOT be in the Future

Great! Just great Win! I shouted deep in my thoughts. I'm sorry.

"But, it might not be in the future." He said as he stands up, what does he mean in the future. I ask my self standing froze beside him.

What?! As confusion hits me.

"Let's go now." He walks pass right through me as he sled his hands in his pocket.

"Huh? Are you trying to cut ties with me?!" I ask following him. Did he said not might be in the future is he going somewhere or is he....??

"Well, the future is hard to say. Cherish me Win" he said rolling up his sleeve to his arm

"Just what are you planning to do...?" I ask still following him

Ring------

Ring------

"Ah, it's my phone," I said while fishing out my phone

"Ah!" I reacted when something drops on the floor from my pocket.

"What's that? "Bright asks as he picks up the bag of candy and handed it to me

"Candies," I said accepting the bag, "JJ went to my Dad's place for a meal, and Light pleaded him to give these candies to me." Looking at the candy bag.

"Ah.... I see." I saw Bright smile, what was he thinking?

"Light likes candies, but his family worries about his teeth, so he was only given one candy per day. He actually did not eat the candies for a week, instead he collected them for me." I said as I looked at the candies on my hand. I am happy.

"He really likes you. If his mother was not that way, you might be able to see him often." Bright said as he taps my shoulder with comfort

"That person was not so detestable from the beginning. At first, she treated me 'nice' too." I felt comfort from his words and warmth.

"Then, why?" He asks in a soft tone

"Because I ruined the thing she looked forward the most," I said and puff an air and stop.. "her wedding," I said sadly

I read the message.

Dad-----

Win, it's been a long time since you came home.

Come home on the third week of October your older brother is back too, let's have a family dinner.

Bright's POV

He likes me I can feel it... but, to think that he said I am only a friend........

I should start from the beginning...

I always like you Win, and always want to see you smile and your  warmth. Your joyful self, being a smart one..and your very handsome yet innocent face is a big big bonus.

Everything about you is very precious to me....

I like to have you.

FOR NOW as you said...you like me as a friend, but I want us to be more than a friend....

"What's the matter?" I ask worriedly as I saw his face changed and forrowed brows

"...Nothing, my brother is back. They want me to go back for a family gathering, just dinner." As he put back his phone in his pocket

'I remember that he used to live with her Aunt during high school' as far as I can remember

"I see...when do you plan to go back?" I ask him

"I don't see any reason to go back, I don't need to. That's not my home anyways." He said as he lowers his head..

A week had passed we were all so busy at work. Win has his practicum and me having an assessment activity.

I was checking the assessment test I gave to my students yesterday. When......

Knock knock knock knock-----

I heard a loud knock from the other door. I think it's Win's....

"Win! Are you in there?" as I walked towards my entrance and as I open the door

"JJ?" oh! Two? Twins? I looked at them, the other one has a smile on his face thats JJ, the other one has a serious and smuggy face. They were identical...

"Ah, Bright! Is Win home?" JJ asked as he walks towards me

"I didn't think so....what's the matter?" I ask looking at the man at his back

"Win has disappeared!," JJ said worriedly

"What?!"

To be continued....
