As Minhyung entered the room, something immediately felt off about him. He walked in with a sullen face, but the moment he looked into my eyes, it almost looked as though he pitied me. I tried to get a read on him, but it seems like he already blocked it from happening. He wasnt empty handed though, he came with the takoyaki i asked for and a bouquet of flowers.
The way it was arranged though, I immediately knew where he got them from. "What's up with the face Min?", I asked feeling a bit worried. He just shaked his head and smiled, "I got you this on the way there, i knew how much you loved flowers.". He told as he placed both the takoyaki and the bouquet on the bed. It seemed like whatever he saw or find out was something serious, he would always be the first to tell me his worries but now he's hiding it. Even blocking me from reading his mind.
"Yuta.." He called my name with a faint voice.
I nodded and sat closer towards him, putting one arm around his shoulder to give him comfort.
"Why do you like Ai..?" Minhyung turned to look at my face, while his expression was filled with grave. I wasn't that surprised when i heard his question, afterall this was never a small matter in the first place.. but to that, I couldn't find the answer either. I shrugged and sighed not knowing what to respond.
Truthfully speaking, the first time i saw her i hated her. She hurts me, i couldnt rest without thinking of her. Every hour, every minute, and every second it was just Kajiwara Ai. I didn't know why but i knew i had to stay. I felt as though this could've been my second chance to protect someone. The longer we talked on the phone, the more i felt the need to take care of her. I longed to see her every day even if it had just been an hour since the last meet.
I've never felt anything close to danger in my life since 974 years ago, My every day repeats the same old routine, Almost as if my time doesn't flow, stuck in this endless cycle of an emotionless roller coaster ride. Can i even call it a ride if it doesn't move though? I constantly asked myself. Now that im finally experiencing feelings again, i want to take care of this pain that i have, and learn to love it. For i know that I'll never get to experience this ever again. All i wished for then was that no one else to interfere as i learn more about her and find out the truth of why it has to be her, the cause of my death that seemed so beautiful, the girl who will be the most special in my long life.
"If you ever find the reason why, please tell me." Minhyung's eyes began to turn red before he held my hand and left the room.
"He knows something i don't." I thought to myself.

The sun was finally setting, i could finally go out again. I decided to eat dinner with Jaehyun as i knew i needed to tell him about my plans with Ai the following day. He was skeptical about the sudden invite to eat out with me, i felt a bit offended when he said, "You're only nice to me after you met a girl?" and laughed. I treat him like a brother all the time! Maybe that's why.
We went out to a nearby fine dining place, all the lights were shining beautifully. It was one of my favourite places in the city as the interior and decoration was very much my style. It truely captures the beauty of vintage luxury. Normally i would never bring Jaehyun or Minhyung to places like this, but i guessed it would've calmed Jaehyun down. I finally felt normal for once bringing someone with me here, I'd usually get stares for coming to a place like this alone.
As we took our seats, Jaehyun's expression quickly changed from excited to a smug. He scoffed as he took a glance at the menu, Jaehyun shifted his view to my face and once again, he laughed. "You messed up didn't you? What did you break this time.." Jaehyun sighed and shaked his head. I keep forgetting we've lived for hundreds of years together, he could obviously read me easily.
"I invited someone over, can you and Minhyung go out tomorrow? Just for a little bit. It won't be long." I answered honestly. The right corner of his lip perked up, he smirked and nods, "I knew it. To be honest with you Minhyung told me." Jaehyun replied making me choke on air. I tried to not make eye contact as i was too embarrassed to even look at him.
"I was going to order something for Minhyung too, i knew you'd take me out to a fancy dinner. How could i refuse." But the smirk on his face slowly faded into a soft smile, "You don't have to treat me to high end places to get me to say yes, I've known you for years. Its not like i could stop you. I just wish you'd realise how much you mean to us.".
"I'll go out with Minhyung tomorrow so you can see her, you're an adult afterall. You know what's wrong and what's right in our rules. But promise me, once it hurts to the point you can't take it, leave her. Or I'll get involved, and im being serious."
- J
I just nodded in response, but i know that promise wasn't for me to keep. He finally looked at peace again after seeing my answer, and as his smile grew wider, we finally placed our order.

My Dream
Seeing You Smile.
It was an intense battle against us in the game, i was surprisingly losing. And as both our health bars were both down to one life left, my hands were getting tired and my fingers slipped, making you hit the final blow and win the game. You smiled brightly as you jumped in excitement,
"I won! I finally won!" You cheered and laughed enthusiastically like a child. I clapped my hands congratulating you, it was a fair game afterall. "See Yuta, i told you i could beat you!".
That was the only thing you boasted about the entire day, i was glad to see you so happy, as the previous dreams I've had these past few days have been nothing but nightmares. I wanted to thank you, for finally coming to me and save me, although it was all just a dream.
