The Boy Next World ( ENG ) [UNEDITED ERRORS AHEAD!]

Chapter 23: When I loved you

"So, what do you wanna tell me?"

The owner of the room sits on the bed, and stares at whoever has come to visit him. Phugun freezes and his courage seems to fade.

"Uh, yeah, uh... well..."

Phugun is suddenly speechless, but P'Cir doesn't prompt him. There is only silence between the two, then the boy asks...

"P'Cir, is it really okay to let her go like that?"

Ah, I should've not said that!

After realizing what he just said, Phugun panics. When he raises his head to meet the other's glare, Phugun can't help but avoid eye contact, both hands clasping tightly and resting nervously on his knees.

Before knowing that he fell in love with P'Cir, he never avoided from the sight of each other like this, but after realizing this, every time their eyes meet, his heart trembles terribly.

Aside from Cir's eyes that no longer shows a loving gaze thathe is used to, Phu feels no difference.

He knows how delicate such an indifferent smile can be. He knows that that cold voice can be so sweet that it makes his heart tremble. He knows how warm P'Cir is under the guise of indifference.

"..."

"..."

Can he make this P'Cir love him?

"Whether it's good or bad, I just told her to leave."

The boy quickly avoids eye contact and sits on the couch, wondering how hard it was for P'Cir to tell him about the parallel world.

Because no matter how he thinks, a person like P'Cir won't believe things that modern science can't explain, so he doesn't dare to say it. He can only start over.

Only this time he will take the initiative.

"Is your name Phu?"

"Yes, Phu comes from Phugun" Phugun whispers.

"Really?"

"Yes."

Silence begins to spread through the room, Phugun purses his lips.

"My name comes from Cirrus."

"Phu knows."

The boy says quickly and Phugun instantly blushes when he sees the other smile.

"Where do you know this from? No one ever called me by my full name."

"on Line."

"We have each others Line?"

Phu can only nod slowly.

Remember this Phu, P'Cir hasn't lost his memory, he's just another person.

"Phu is also P'Cir's schoolmate."

Phugun adds in frustration.

"Really?"

"Yes."

And then...

silence.

How did he and P'Cir chat in the past? Why is it so difficult?

Uh, it's because you're used to P'Cir listening to your words with sincerity every time, Phu.

"That's all?"

"Ah?"

Phugun, who is deep in thought, looks at him. P'Cir laughs again.

"What I'm asking you is... I want to know more about Phu, is that all you can tell me?"
