See You Again

Chapter 41: #Truth

Theen's POV:

Today will be the last day that we'll be together. That we'll be this close to each other. While watching him sleeping peacefully, I can't help it but to feel pain.

It's as if, someone is actually cutting my heart into two pieces while stabbing it continuously. My heart is bleeding heavily because of this pain deep inside of it.

" I love you... I love you, more than how I love myself. Y-you are the reason why I believe in love. And you are the reason why I am still holding onto it tightly... Yet, I have to let you go because of it too. I don't want to hurt you, to put you in such pain."

Then he begins to move his body, that's why I decided to leave him already as I went inside the bathroom to take a bath.

After having our dinner together, and coming to school together. I contacted Kenneth. I wanted to meet him, but I can't reach him.

But I was able to learn his new address because of June. He skipped his second subject just to go to Kenneth and meet him secretly. So I secretly followed him.

I'll admit it, it hurts me. It hurts more than how this physical pain hurts.

As I saw them hugging each other, it breaks my heart. Seeing them like this.

After all, I'm just a human.

...

I've waited for June to finally left, and when he finally left, I came quickly to see Kenneth before he can go inside his apartment. As he was about to close the door, I was quick enough to stop him.

"T-Theen...?"-he asked with his soft voice.

I hate him.

I hate him because, even though he does things which hurts me still I can't bring myself to do anything against him or to hurt him in return.

I hate his voice that sounds truthful, yet he is a big liar...

He lied when he said that he is not after June... Because he is after him. He is trying to get him back.

"W-what are you doing h-here?"

"What are you doing here?"- I asked in return.

"I---Uhhh... I..."

"Why is June with you? Did you two---"

"It's not... What you think."

Silence

I don't know what to say at this moment. The pain is just too much, I don't think I can do it.

I want to be mad at them both, but I would only appear as a pathetic guy.

I bite my lower lips trying to console myself.

"I... I came here to ask one thing. D-don't worry, I won't cause any trouble."- I stated softly.

He remained silent.

"Are you sick?"

He nodded his head.

"But it's not terminal right?... Umm. You will live longer right? I mean, I don't mean to become a mean person for you, for asking this kind of question. I--- I was just..."

"It's not. It's not that severe. The doctor said that I'll just need to take proper medication."

"Great."

"Are you here because of that or there's another reason? Aren't you going to ask me about June? On why he is here with me? And if, we have been meeting behind your back?"
