You ✧ SoraMafu ✧ MAJOR EDITING

t h i r t y - t w o

The next day, Soraru woke up and checked his phone. He opened his Twitter and saw a message from Mafu.

It's unusual of Mafu to message Soraru through Twitter. It'd usually be LINE or through text.

He clicked it and read,

"Sora-chan, let's break up."

Soraru felt his heart sink. It was 7AM and he can feel himself destroyed.

I should've replied last night, Soraru thought as he exited Twitter and clicked LINE.

He called Mafu and waited.

It rang. But no one picked up.

It wasn't even months since Mafu left Japan. In fact, it was just yesterday.

Soraru was already panicking and he seemed to have lost his mind the moment he heard someone knocking in the door.

He was startled yet he didn't even bother to open it.

This is not Mafu... definitely not, Soraru thought as tears filled his eyes. DEFINITELY NOT.

"Soraru-san!"

Soraru didn't mind who was calling from outside and just let the tears fall.

"Oi, Soraru-san!"

Soraru got even more annoyed and decided to head to the front door. "What?!" Soraru asked furiously.

He looked down and saw Lon.

"S-sorry... was I too early?" Lon asked as she looked at Soraru. "Were you... crying?"

"It's none of your business!" Soraru shouted as he closed the door but Lon stopped him from doing so.

"I'm not here for the request last night," Lon said.

"Then... what?"

"This," Lon said as she showed a message to Soraru that was from Mafu. Soraru's eyes widened as it said,

"Lon-san... I'm breaking up with Sora-chan."

Tears streamed down Soraru's face as the short girl hid her phone. "It's... okay..." Lon said as she patted Soraru's shoulder. "Just go get ready for school... I'm sure he'll message later."

Soraru allowed Lon to enter and gave her a cup of tea before complying to what Lon said earlier.

After that, Soraru and Lon headed to school together.

As soon as Soraru entered the classroom, he immediately shoved his head down.

"Good morning!" Sou greeted as he entered as well.

"Morning," Lon greeted back as she patted Soraru's head.

"What's wrong?" Sou asked.

"Ah... nothing..."

"Where's Mafu-san, by the way?"

"You think he's here?!" Soraru asked furiously. "Can you see that he's not with me, right?!"

"Soraru-san, chill," Lon said.

"How can I chill when-"

"Can you just stop first?! How do you think I felt when you rejected me?!" Lon asked.

"S-sorry..." Soraru mumbled before shoving his head back on the table.

"Just... don't mind him," Lon said. "Don't think or talk about Mafu-san as well."

"Why?" Sou asked.

"Just... don't..."

Sou pouted and ignored them.

-- time skip --

After school, Soraru was walking home alone, wishing Mafu would message.

He checked his phone and didn't see a single reply from the albino.

Why would he want to break up? Didn't he promise that he'd never find someone new? That he'd still be mine?

Questions kept bursting to Soraru's mind as he arrived in his house.

He pushed the door opened and slammed his fist against the wall.

Why would he tell Lon?

He dropped his bag and decided to message Amatsuki in LINE.

"Amatsuki, where's Mafu?"

He walked around his living room, waiting for a response. Immediately, a message came.

"Sorry, I'm not with him. I'm pretty sure he's still in the hotel he's staying or something."

Soraru frowned and decided to call.

"Hello?" Amatsuki answered.

"Where's Mafu?!" Soraru asked immediately.

"W-what's wrong? What are you doing?"

Soraru thought for a moment and realized that his voice was quite hoarse.

"J-just where is he?! Have you been talking to him?! Is he okay?!"

"Chill, Soraru-san. Mafu-kun is fine. What the heck are you even asking?"

"C-can I talk to him?!"

"He's not with me. How many times do I have to repeat that? And plus, he hasn't been messaging me or anything."

"A-also you?!"

"What do you mean?"

"Listen... Mafu wants to break up... and I want to talk to him..."

"B-break up?! What?!"

"I... I'm not joking..."

"He never told me anything when I left last night. After you left the call, we just played and watched TV. I'm pretty sure he texted you, right?"

"He did."

"And he actually got a bit sad when you didn't reply. But I said that you might reply the next day. His expression became happy then he said he'd come over here today."

"B-but..."

"I'm not sure if he's really coming. I messaged him earlier but he didn't reply."

"W-what's going on with Mafu?" Soraru asked, getting a bit more worried.

"I'm not sure... ("Amatsuki!") h-hold on, Soraru-san. ("Your delivery is here!") I'll be back. I'll just message you, okay? Bye."

Amatsuki immediately ended the call as Soraru went to his room and trashed everything.

Can Soraru really live like this-

"By the way, Soraru-san, last night, before I left, Mafu-kun said that he'll come back next year."

-A year without Mafu?
