Five more minutes, please.... my name is Tae. I've never wondered what it felt like to be loved by anyone until I met Keji, I fell in love with him at first sight. Keji was a quiet and serious boy, he would always sit by himself and didn't talk to anyone who spoke to him. I thought it would be impossible to become close to him, but I didn't want to give up before I even tried. I would leave him a chocolate on his desk everday, he didn't know it was me until one day he caught me putting it there, I froze thinking he would be angry..."thank you" he said as he sat down, it gave me hope that he would talk to me, but he ignored me the next day. I would sit and talk while he would sit in silence listening. I started walking him home on my own accord but he didn't seem to mind. This continued until he asked me "why do you concern yourself with me, all I do is ignore you" and I simply replied "i wanna be closer" he had a sad expression "whatever". From that day he would sometimes talk to me but In little responses but even just that made me the happiest person in the world. This situation continued for a while before he asked me to hang out with him after school one day, I agreed of course. We went bowling and got something to eat after, I had fun but it doesn't seem like keji is happy, "am I a bother to you" I asked.... "not really, you make my day better most of the times"...my heart started to beat fast...."so why do you always look so down around me" I asked....."im sorry, I'm not good at showing affection, but I like when you talk to me, even if I don't reply"..."oh ok that's good to hear" I let out a breathe of relief...."well goodnight" he said as he walked off... "KEJI" I yelled, "hmm?" he replied...."i-...nvm I'll tell you tommorow I promise!, get home safe!"....he gave me a barely noticable smile and walked away. The next morning when I came to class keji wasn't there...."goodmoring class, I have some terrible news" my teacher alerted us that our classmate had passed away due to a hit and run accident, my heart dropped to the floor as she said Keji's name, I couldn't breathe and everything was spining.... I never got to keep my promise to keji, "why" I asked myself... if we just had 5 more minute.... just 5..please.
