"new year's eve is close and i just wanted to use this as a way of like, letting you know- i can't bear the thought of losing you moon. we don't talk anymore at school or after school and we never hung out this year at all and i'm just, listen- if you wanna break the friendship with me, please talk with me, moon. what did i do? why did you suddenly stop talking with me? apologies for too much questions but i really wanna know why everything just stopped between the two of us. okay, have a good year, moon."

just,
iven
yeah.

...

"hey iven, i'm really sorry for just fully uh, absent in your life for a year and i didn't tell you anything or like just anything. i just, you know how the art teacher at our school told us about a painting like it was bright pink color with a touch of dark color on the middle? she said to like come up with each unique perception on it and remember how you said it's just bright colors and a big black hole on it like the mole in your forehead? (that was really funny by the way) okay back to the point, remember how i told you that painting reminded me of someone being around a person or a group of people that makes them happy and such and only thing that's been troubling the someone is because they're hiding something like lying or like having a secret which can ruin the happy colors and so the black hole is just existing in her mind?"

...

"...yes?"

"and like remember how you told me if there's anything like a secret or one of us is hiding something, you'll respect it and won't force me into letting it out it etc?"

"moon, that was like a year and a half ago, i don't remember all of the classes i took, especially art."

...

"please try to remember or like, please tell me you get this, iven."

...

"..."

...

"?"

...

"okay, moon. and your point is..?"

...

"my point is, i'm having the painting moment with you. and i don't know how and when and if i will be able to tell you this. i never lied to you about anything and you deserve full honesty, iven and i distanced myself from you because of this one reason. but after that email you wrote to me, i couldn't bring myself to ignore it to the point where it completely shatters you. shatters our friendship, so i decided to let you know, that- i'm hiding something from you and i hope you can respect that, iven."

...

"i, i have no words moon."

...

"does that mean, this uh, this is the end of our friendship?"

...

"no."

...

"oh."

...

"i'm just, i'm really mad at you for completely ignoring me through out the year. i missed talking with you about comics, about physics and listening to you talking about art and stuff and i missed you a lot, moon. for you to completely distanced yourself from me because you believed i deserve honesty is just, no, moon. the only thing that i wish on deserving is your presence and i'm mad at you after years of our friendship, you didn't get that."

"but that doesn't mean i wanna end the friendship. that is, if- you are okay with being friends again."

...

"oh, yeah. yeah of course and i'll be friends with you as long as you're okay with the fact that i'm hiding something from you."

...

"you can lie and hide about anything you want, moon just don't leave me again, please."

...

"i won't, i promise you that i won't."

...

"thank you."

...

"so are we..."

...
