"Alright," I smiled to myself as I dusted the chopsticks together before I stood up and grabbed my lunchbox from the bench with the chopsticks on top of it. It's recess and instead of eating in the cafeteria, I've decided to have home cooked ramen with Riki.
Not to mention, I cooked it myself, in a japanese style which took me hours!
When I reached Riki's classroom, class B, I tried to search for him while looking through the windows. And the next thing that I saw, nearly shattered my heart into pieces.
He was talking and laughing with Yena, the girl he told me he loves. The sound of his laughter ringing louder than they usually do. I love it when he laughs, but I love it more when I'm the one he's laughing with.
Why did he lie to me? He told me it wasn't easy for him to approach her but he's here, talking and laughing with her as if it never was a big deal.
I hugged the lunchbox closer to my chest and lowered my head as I began to walk back to my classroom. I was only a bridge for Riki to reach Yena and now that he's able to get close to her, I don't think he'll need me anymore. He'll leave me behind like everyone else.
I sat heavily on my desk as I pushed the lunchbox away from me. My efforts, all in vain as always.
"The guy from my class. You love him, don't you?" I flinched when a voice echoed in the empty classroom. Kim Jun?! What the heck is he doing here and... how does he know?
I immediately rose from the bench but he casually took a seat beside me. "What the hell? Get lost, right now!"
He sighed, "I'm sorry about the way I behaved that day. I didn't know I'd make you that uncomfortable."
I surprisingly remained silent as I watched him pick up the chopsticks. He wrapped the ramen around them and stuffed it inside his mouth. "Um, the noodles have become a bit soggy. But sho tashty!" His voice was muffled as he spoke, showing me a thumbs up.
"It's not for you." I muttered but didn't try to snatch the ramen from him, I let him eat.
"I know." He responded, "it's for that boy, Riki. How long have you a had a crush on him?"
"4 years." I admitted without thinking further. I don't care about exposing myself in front him, it's not like I'm afraid of him or anything.
"Same as me."
My eyes widened, "you also have a crush on him?! Man, you're into boys?"
He looked back at me in disgust, his mouth full of ramen. He quickly swallowed everything at once and spoke in a hurried manner, "Not him! It's a girl, I like girls!"
"If you like another girl, why did you agree to marry me?" I never thought I could be comfortable enough to talk to him like this but you see, here I am.
He fell into silence and I could tell by his face that he was debating with himself to whether stay silent or speak.
"Because..." He finally spoke, "it's not another girl, it's you... who I'm in love with." Huh? I audibly gasped, widening my eyes. "I was also against the marriage but when I got to know that it's you, the girl I've loved for years, I couldn't find myself to refuse."
He stared in my eyes and faintly smiled, "but now that I know you love someone as hard as I love you, I don't think I'll find it difficult to refuse. I'll tell my father that I'm not ready to marry someone yet."
He stuffed the last remaining coil of noodles inside his mouth. "You don't have to pity me, I just hope he also loves you back. One-sided love's heartbreaking, dude." He sniffed as he got up, trying to hide the way tears built up in his eyes.
"I'm sorry..." Those were the last and only words that I could manage to utter as I saw him struggle to put a smile on his face before he disappeared, leaving me to fall into regret all alone.

I grasped the straps of my bag tighter as I walked towards the school exit. I acted so stupidly when Kim Jun confessed to me. I didn't try to comfort him or ask questions about why and how he fell for me. He must have felt even more heartbroken to see how uninterested I seemed towards his feelings.
Ah, I messed up everything toady!
"Woohoo! where have you been all day?" A hand was thrown on my shoulder as the boy pulled me closer, causing my body to collide with his. I gasped and my breath hitched, knowing that it was him, Riki Nishimura. "I missed you."
I ignored my pounding heart as I pushed his hands off me and continued to walk silently but he quickly catched up to me, "Ay, are you mad?"
"No." Yes, I am. But I would rather make you realize that yourself than say it, boy.
"Yes, you are. I'm sorry for whatever it is. Forgive me fast cause I want to take you out tomorrow." I immediately froze in my tracks as I made eye contact with my crush who was smirking.
"I'm busy." I resumed my steps, knowing damn well that his stupid smirk has faltered now.
"Not for me." He held my hand, turning me to face him. Oh, boy looks mad.
"Especially for you. I've got more important things to do than go out with you just to help you with your silly crush."
He sighed in frustration, "No, it's because I want to spend more time with you. Why do you always think everything's about Yena?"
I pulled my hand back from his grip and glared at him, even though I was literally melting from inside with his words. "At the end of the day, everything's all about only her."
I'm not jealous, I'm just sincerely hurt. I can't always let myself get fooled by his lies and flirty remarks when I know I'm not the girl he wants by his side.
