OWNED Trilogy no. 02
GHOST OF YOU

"Why do you give a fuck anyway?! I'm just your sugar daddy, right? It was your choice to fall for me!" he screamed while pointing his finger at her, "and you, you are just her replacement!"

She looked at him with pure disbelief in her eyes. If she knew months ago it would all come down to this, honestly, she would have stayed her lane. She would have kept her distance to avoid being in this situation

But it's too late, because as she is standing in front of him, she finally realized who she really is for him,

just a ghost of the past he can't fully let go of.

"You should have told me you have no space in your heart to love someone else," she whispered, "so I wouldn't fall for you hard."

Kokonoi was taken aback with what she said. He is hurt, too. But he must stand his ground in order to keep things as it is. For him, this may not be the right thing to do but it is the closest to the word right. Hurting her ain't right, but if it means saving her heart from further heartbreak he might cause, then so be it.

"I loved you, Koko."

She turned her back and walked away from all their agreements. Well to be fair, she didn't know she would fall either but she just found herself getting hurt whenever he mumbles her name instead of hers.

"I tried," he said. What a lie, he already fell, "I really tried, Aki. God, I really wanted to learn how to love you."

"But you can't, because I'm not Akane," she gently said and looked back at him, she then flashed a smile at him, "hey Koko, it's fine. It's not your fault that you can't fully let her go but.. I hope you won't use another girl after me to replace her because this shit hurts."

"I'm sorry," he said but she only smiled, oh her angelic smile that calmed his guilt even when he doesn't deserve it.

"Thank you for everything, Kokonoi."

She then walked away from him with a heavy heart

"Guess it's time to go back to where I came from," she whispered as she got in the cab

God, Japan really drained her out.
