Swapped Vol 2: The Unrequited Story

Chapter Extra

The story of blue and gold

Present life – Bangkok, Thailand

"Babe- Babe!" Off startled when his arm got smacked, bringing him back to the present. His girlfriend was looking at him in annoyance.

"You're spacing out again." She said in sarcasm.

Off scratched his hair and felt bad. "I'm sorry, Yuu."

Yuu sighed. "You know, that word became the only words in your dictionary ever since we started to date." Yuu stared at him. "Am I forcing you to be here?"

"What? No. It's not like that. Look, I'm so-" Off paused. Yuu exhaled.

"P'Off." Yuu stared at Off. "I admit I like you and very happy when you come to ask me out. I believe that you like me too, that time. But now, I don't know anymore P'. You're not the same. Do you found me unlikeable after going out?"

Yuu let out her worries. It had been in her mind ever since she noticed Off often spaced out every time they're on date. Even though he never declined to go out or arrived late, he wasn't really there when they're together. Yuu felt sad and questioned herself each time.

Off stared at her. "I... It's me. None of this is your fault. Yuu, you're a great person, very lovable and anyone who have you is the luckiest. I like you and I'm serious when I ask you out." Off paused.

"But?" Yuu added when Off didn't continue. Off clenched his fist and looked down.

"I don't know... I don't know." Off muttered.

"I'm not the one then, obviously. I understand." Yuu smiled bitterly. "Whoever in your mind when you're spacing out is the one, P'."

Off stiffened to those words. Yuu didn't noticed that and continued talking. "Maybe we're not meant to be even when we like each other. Hm, yeah. It's just like, not even love. Maybe you like me like a fling. I- I can't exactly say at what point I like you but I get tired too. If you have no interest to stay with me, why should I hold on you, P'? Let's just break up for our own good."

"Yuu..."

"Don't say sorry anymore. I had enough from you." Off looked at her guiltily. Yuu raised her brow. "I'm not mad or heart broken. I will be fine. It happened sometimes."

"You're amazing, Yuu. Please know that. I'm the bad one, I hope you will meet the right person who treat you better."

"Yeah, of course, P'." Yuu just gave a little smile. They stayed in silent before suddenly Yuu asked.

"So, who did you think while spacing out?" Off stiffened to this question. This time Yuu noticed. "You won't tell? Oh, come on. I just want to know who had my ex's heart. No hard feeling." Yuu said in teasing tone. Off turned to her staring for a while.

"I... I... It's confusing."

"Huh? How so?"

"I'm just at times wondering... about Gun."

Yuu blinked. "Gun? P'Gun Atp?" Off nodded. Yuu formed an O before chuckled. "Oh, of course... of course. This one I could never beat."

"What do you mean?" Off looked puzzle. Yuu looked at him and chuckled.

"From the way you react and talk, you must not realize your feeling." Off frowned.

"Yuu, you're really saying I-"

"What else I can say? P', sometimes our mind is in sync with our heart unknowingly. Our heart always win, you know. It can do anything to ourselves. And it can control our subconscious mind. Spacing out is mostly related to our subconscious. And people do say, you will always be thinking about the person you love. So, did you ever think about me?"
