It's been roughly two days since we arrived at the destination of the wedding, and it had also been roughly two days of me dismissing the idea of being with Bright. For two days, he had been trying to find his way to talk to me, and probably hate me at the same time for spending most of my time with Luke. The guy had been careful enough not to step into Bright's fury because he was merely focused on work, and for that I am thankful and grateful. And tonight will be our last night here in the resort before we all settle everything with the details of the wedding tomorrow. The worst thing that happened in my two days here was the fact that I can really see the amount of effort and attention that Bright and Gun are putting for the ceremony. And for them to show me how much they actually love and care for each other, that Bright couldn't actually even leave the guy behind.

Not that I am expecting anything from him, in fact, I don't and I have decided that I wouldn't be swayed by him anymore these days that's why I have been avoiding him. Only talk to him about the details of the wedding, no more, and definitely no less while Gun clings unto him. I would be lying if I say that it didn't hurt, it does, actually, and I am pitying myself even more about thinking that one way or another - Bright still wants me and needs me in his life. Once again, I have proven myself wrong over and over again when it comes to Bright and Gun.

They've been together in college, made plans with their future probably, and made some great efforts to be with each other until Gun decided to cheat on him with Off. Now that I think about it really carefully, Bright was happy back then when they were still together - and when they broke up, he was devastated and even almost drank himself to death. So it isn't a surprise anymore that they found each other again when Bright and I broke up years ago. And it just so happened that I was there when it occurred, and things led to this and that - and now, they are back again while I watch them showing off their affection to each other.

Was it painful to see them together after not seeing Bright for two years? It was, and it still hurts me to the core but I don't want them to notice me being crushed into millions of pieces every time I see them together.

So why was he begging for me to come back to him when we first met at the shop? That, I will never know the answer for, or maybe I do, but I still want to deny everything since that day. Bright never really wanted me out of his life because I am his best friend for many years since that Music Festival happened in college.

If I have the ability to turn back time, I would rather that I didn't contact him that day and ask him to sing for the club so we could gather more members. I wouldn't even sing with him if that was the case, and would rather find some else to substitute for him - anyone but me. Or maybe, I could have just ignored his existence the very first time that I saw him when we were in our second year of college - and maybe, just maybe, I would have spared myself from all the pains and troubles that I am currently in right now.

Or perhaps, I wouldn't be sitting all alone here by the shore with a bottle of beer in one hand - and a phone on the other. It's funny how I am still thinking of giving him up for real this time while patiently hoping and waiting for him to call me tonight - and talk to him. Also, I have finally decided that today will be the last day that I would be handling everything and anything about their wedding and let my friend, Gigi, do the rest of the preparations. It's not because I am not that professional enough to handle everything without allowing my private matters to resurface. I just want to be free. I don't want to subject myself to any more pain of seeing them together, and perhaps - I could finally move on from Bright, from the man that I have been loving for a long time.

I suppose that it's time for this unrequited love to end.

"Win?" A man's voice echoes inside my ears and I turn around to meet Luke's smile which I reciprocate with a slight nod.
