II - Why

heartbeat.

his heart was pumping fast. he thought it would explode any time soon, as his mind goes blank.

your arms loosened as you felt him not returning your hug. does he know that you're you?

fixing your posture, you stepped back a little. oh god his eyes were so mesmerising yet so empty.

it had always been empty though. you could see the moon's reflection on his honey-like orbs, oh such beauty.

"do you... perhaps remember me?" you asked, fidgeting your fingers as anxiety eats you slowly.

"..."

just like you thought, he forgot about you. the last time you two met was about 12 years ago.

"I can't wait for us to get married! I'm gonna protect you from everything evil!" he said with a cheery smile planted on his face

a bright smile appeared on your lips whilst taking his hand in yours as you both skip through the garden.

"I'll protect you too!"

silence,

"I'm sorry, i should have not done that. its just that uh-" you paused, looking away while scratching your the back of your neck

"you remind me of someone, heh..." giving him an awkward smile

but you weren't wrong. that man IS Kazutora Hanemiya. Your childhood friend, also known as your past lover

he do look different from before but of course, its been years since you two last met

his long black hair with blonde streaks at the front were really eye catching.

he looked sweet yet intimidating

looking down at the sand you smiled to yourself, "sorry, im gonna go now. goodbye i guess"

you didnt know why, but your heart kept on telling you to stay with him, and ask him to answer those unanswered questions you had ever since you were young

walking away with your head hung low, you felt empty. the same feeling you've been feeling for the past 10 years with a stinging pain in your chest

meanwhile, he just stood there watching you walk away.

why though?

why didnt he come running to you?

the reason why he came here was to confront you and apologise, but there he stood, watching you leave from afar

he was scared.

he knew what he did back then was wrong, he regreted every bit of it.

not even a single day in prison he stopped thinking about what he did to you.

you continued walking your way home, a small laugh leaving your lips

"i just embarrassed myself in front of someone" that thought made you laugh

of course it wasn't funny, you literally almost had a breakdown in front of him.

you were about 5 minutes away from your apartment when you heard footsteps coming your way once again.

"Y/n"

your name left the stranger's mouth. that voice again, it brings you so much nostalgia.

the way your name left his lips, its sounded as beautiful as ever

why did he follow me? you wondered.

you stopped walking as you turn around to take a look at him

he was panting, hands on his knees while crouching a little.

"oh, i guess it is you then huh" a nervous laugh left your lips as you look at him

he regained his composure as you awkwardly smile at him

"so-", "im sorry."

the silence was intense, yet u could still feel ur heart pace fasten. you were fighting your tears, not wanting to cry infront of him once again.

"i should be the one telling you that." still looking down at your shoes

"the moon is beautiful, isn't it?" Kazutora whispered as he continued gazing at the bright moon. the way his honey-like orb shines. addictive.
