Maxine's P.O.V.


"Well done...We'll make sure to let you know once we've decided who will be chosen for the role. You may now go"

I was staring at the floor for too long

I have to go home

what if Yamato needs me?

"Maxine? Are you alright?"

I suddenly came back to my senses

"W-what?"

"Is there something wrong? Your audition is already done. You may leave"

"S-sorry" I immediately went out

As I stepped out, several people were clapping their hands at me 

"You did great!"

They were all cheering for me but I didn't pay that much attention to them

I was so distracted by my own thoughts

I was drowning from the sadness I was feeling

"That was definitely nothing. Tsk. Don't be too confident yourself"

I ignored Courtney and walked passed her

"What the hell?" She got furious when I ignored her but it didn't matter to me

I immediately went to the narrow passage in between of two buildings

I hid there and sat

I couldn't stop my tears from falling 

Why is this happening

What the hell is happening? 

What is happening to you, Yamato?

Where the hell are you?

Just one word from you

Please...Just tell me that you're okay


"Are you okay, miss?"

A beggar saw me crying

I stood up and wiped off my tears

"Y-yes...Yes I'm alright"

"Why are you crying? Is it because your audition failed?"

"No, it's nothing"

"No person in this world could be crying for no reason. Did you lose someone important to you?"

"Not merely but...I guess so"

"Let me guess, it's about love?"

I stayed silent not knowing what to say. I felt like if I spoke another word I would burst out crying again

"Did he break up with you? Or should I say she? Sorry about that I shouldn't always assume that it's a man"

"No, its alright. He...He's a guy"

"So, what happened between you two?"

"Few months ago I spent the happiest days with him. We were always bonding in secret. We did a lot of fun things which made my heart feel so warm. Not until I had to leave the country for some reasons"

"Then what are you crying about?"

"He hasn't sent me any messages since then. No letters or texts. I asked all of his friends but none of them were answering"
