Forever and a Day - A K-Project Fan Fiction

Like the stone face of your lover, just before she says goodbye

I bit my nail as I went through my inbox waiting for anything interesting to happen. Like maybe, the anime Tegami Bachi finally returns. I mean, how come all the cute people go missing. Like Gauche Suede. Totsuka slapped my hand as I looked at the inbox any further. Yata suddenly went in the bar sending everyone in shock. He grabbed my hand and pulled me to the back. By the look on his face, he found something that he didn’t like.

“Why did you just pull me out here?”

“Masafumi confessed to you?”

“How’d you know?”

He lifted his head up and turned his gaze towards me. There was still the same look in his eyes that he found something that is far from what he wanted.

“Don’t answer with a question”

“He did, you have a problem with that? You confessed to me as well, right?”

Masafumi’s confession was like Yata’s confession. It was almost the biggest problem in Homra. I bit my nail as I went back inside the bar. Izumo was looking at me in shock as I sat down in front of the counter. Izumo was kind’a like the only guy that never knew Yata’s confession.

“Hana, remove your feet from my counter!”

He pushed off my feet as I looked at my inbox in my phone.

I watched Izumo pack his bags while I sit by the bed with the smoke going out of the edge of his cigarette. When he was done packing, he went in the bathroom holding a new set of clothes.

“Izumo, please tell me where you’re going”

“I can’t tell you, it’s a family thing. I’m not supposed to tell anyone that I’m not related to. Only people who know and understand her will get to know”

“Who the heck are you talking about? I thought the funeral was next week”

“My niece Sylvette”

Those three words suddenly shook me. There was soon silence in the air. He didn’t make a sound in the bathroom. I felt a small tear roll down my cheeks. What happened to Sylvette? He never told me what happened to her. When he got out of the bathroom, he was still wiping his hair with a towel. I just froze at the bathroom door not believing what I just heard come out of his mouth. He grabbed his passport from the drawer and started combing his hair.

“Izumo, what… happened… to Sylvette?”

I almost choked while letting out the words from my mouth. He looked at the clock on the wall before sitting back down on the couch.

“Sylvette was born ill, and she spent her whole life in the hospital. They all tried their best to treat her disease but it was no use. One day, my cousin which is Sylvette’s father came and saw her body lifeless. The doctors did their best to let her live again but it was told that she’s been dead for a few hours. They had no choice anymore, and she died”

He looked at me with the look on his face saying that he doesn’t wanna talk about it anymore. He went back to packing his things and handed me the keys.

“If you don’t want to leave my condo, you can lock it yourself when you leave”

He soon picked up his bags and left the condo. I stood up from my seat and ran towards him before he could go down the stairs. I embraced his in a hug and kissed his cheek.

“Good luck, Izumo”

“I’ll be back next week, don’t worry”

I broke the hug before he could go down the stairs. So, I have to go through a whole week without the closest person in the clan. Well, expect for everyone else. My phone suddenly vibrated showing a new message from Yata saying:
