Feel Special

before you met her, you always made me feel special. the both of us would go to the park to get ice cream from the kind ice cream man after school. or we would go to the nearby malls and convenience stores to get some snacks or just shop.

but now that you found Aoki Himari, it was like I disappeared from your life.

it hurts to see you with her everyday, kissing her softly on the lips, cheek, forehead, and everywhere while whispering sweet nothings into her ear, the two of you giggling and laughing like it was just the two of you in the whole entire world.

it hurts to see the two of you, sitting side by side, during all of the classes. when all of our senseis would ask the class to get into partners, there was no hesitation in you to chose her. when before, it was me.

it hurts especially when you would take her to the places that we used to go to. I could see the ice cream man raise his eyebrow, curious why you were taking another girl now regularly to his stall. I could see the convenience store cashiers look at you with confusion every time you got Himari a mint chocolate ice cream cone from the freezer. I could see her eyes wince with disgust, but she masked it with a pretty smile.

she has taken over your whole life, but

when will you see me again, Miyaura Kento?

"she broke up with me."

you looked at Kento curiously, wondering why he would tell you when he practically ditched you for a whole three months, "I'm sorry about that, Kento."

the two of you looked up to see Himari with her new man, a new foreign student that had just transferred into the school, Takahashi Ran. he was two years younger than her, only in year 10 while the rest were in year 12.

"how can she find someone new already?" Kento whispered, his voice cracking with disbelief as he saw Himari brush her lips against Ran's while on her tippy toes because of how tall the new foreign student was.

"anything in life is replaceable," you hummed softly as you grabbed some more books from your locker, "don't beat yourself up to hard, there's always more fish in the sea."

"how about you?" Kento looked down at you.

"what me?" you asked with confusion laced in your voice. you were unsure of what he meant.

"when are you going to find a guy?" Kento questioned.

"I found someone before, but now I lost him," you remarked, "but it's fine. for now, I want to focus on my studies and getting into uni more."

"who is he?" Kento had a blank expression on his face.

"and why would you want to know?" you asked.

"because I was wondering if you would go on a date with me," Kento murmured quietly. but you heard his words.

you looked up at him with disbelief. words could not be formed in your mouth, you were sure that you looked like a gaping fish at that moment.

"Kento," you finally answered him with a sigh, "before, you always made me feel special, you made me feel like the luckiest girl in the world. but then you met Himari, and that made me doubt my feelings for you."

you could see his hopeful grin turn into a sad smile.

"I still like you," you confessed quietly, "but I don't want to be used as a rebound just because you broke up with Himari."

"I promise," Kento knelt down in front of you and clasped your hands in his, "that I will treat you right. Himari was just a small crush, but I realize that you were the one I needed all along."

you looked at the sincerity in his voice, the hope in his eyes, and you agreed with a small smile, hoping that it was worth it in the end.

and it was worth it.

Miyaura Kento made you the happiest girl in the world, and it felt like your lives before Himari was happening over again.

he would treat you to so many things and shower you with so much love.

"I love you so much, Y/Nnie," he always pecked you softly on your head due to your short height, "thank you for giving me a chance."

"I love you so much as well, Kenny," you replied back as you tip-toed to kiss him on the lips gently, "thank you for making me feel special."

inspired by TWICE's Feel Special ;) this was one of my favs, so hope you liked it <3

I guess irl, don't just date someone after their break-up because there's a 99% chance you are just a rebound. be there for them, but don't just start dating because you deserve so much more than just being the person your crush is forced to love.

your self-worth is always first, remember that <3
