Gently grabbing her hand as I gave her a little smile, "I forgive you."

"I'm sorry too, I should've understood what you meant rather than just blowing off like that like a big meanie." I hate myself for shouting at you, for shouting those words to you, I feel so horrible.

you didn't deserve it.

"I forgive you, too."

Hearing those words from her felt like home to me, it was so real. So pure. The feeling of being forgiven is just as pure as loving, especially if it's from a person you cherish.

After crying my eyes out as I told her what happened between me and Kenji back there, it was like that assho- he, it was like he left a hole in my heart that I'll forever endure. If only things weren't like this, if it only didn't turned out like this, we could've been more than just frenemies,

We could've been friends, best friends jf we ever have another life.

And who would've thought, Kenji liked me too. That idiot, no wonder he never stopped bugging me. I wish we could've just laughed everything off, and be best buds. Because even if I wanted to, I'm in love with Sae. I'm literally head over heals with the girl beside me, how the hell am I going to give Kenji a chance? And to think, that he actually likes Sae too makes it even more complicated as I'm also in love with her.

it's like we were those love triangles in books but on crack, it's all confusing and you don't know who to root for.

god, why did I even went this far with Kenji telling me he likes me?

Well, sorry Kenji. I'm in love with the girl you also like...

a player suddenly stood up, player 69.

until it hit me.

"oh my god..."

his partner... was his wife.

oh fuck.

"L-let, let's just stop all this. I can't keep doing this, I can't." he was nearly crawling on the ground, who the hell could even blame him?

he and his wife looked like a very lovely couple who's just unlucky with cash.

"the majority must agree. Well, come on, let's get out. Half of us, that's all we need to end this right now."

As much as I wanted to... "I can't leave now... K-kenji.." There's no turning back and I can't let Kenji's sacrifice be put into waste. I can't do that even to you, Kenji.

"don't any of you want to leave this horrible place? Anyone who wants to go, stand up. Let's get out of here."

Silence.

the entire room was quiet as his voice was the only one heard roaring,

I can't take it anymore. I closed my eyes as I tightly curled up my fist.
