Nanon, the son of the richest clan in Oregon had been living his life in the past for 17 years. Patiently waiting for that little boy who captured his heart. When he felt like destiny wasn't in his favor anymore, he finally gave up waiting until tha...

"I'll ask Miller to bring you back to your apartment," Nanon's voice echoes against my ears and I want nothing else but to reach out to him - and yet I am trembling, so much.
Frankly, I'm not entirely sure if I am still dreaming or if it is the reality that I am in right now and yet everything about the whole ordeal made me scared. I do want to understand the things that occurred just earlier, and process everything, and yet my mind has been completely blank. Nothing is making sense any longer, and I don't have enough confidence to actually try and perceive Nanon becoming a werewolf. I watch his back against me and cover my mouth with my hand for I don't want him to hear me cry - what right do I have to cry if I am the one that backed away when he tried to reach out earlier?
"You can go now," he adds and by now, my heart sinks into my stomach making it twist and turn but I am pulled back to the present as the coldness of the winter wind hits every part of me. Clenching my hand into a tight fist, I purse my lip into a tight line and though reluctant - I turn around and look up to see both Bright and Win watching us from afar.
Slowly, I start walking and reach where they are while they look at me with a small smile on their faces - and yet I can perfectly tell that they are broken for Win's eyes are already filled with so many tears. Bright brings Win closer to him by the shoulder and stares at me with soulful eyes.
"Sorry," I mumble with my eyes on the ground. "I'm...sorry..." I look up once more and Bright just nods in understanding.
Nanon's voice echoes in the background and Win sobs on Bright's shoulder who then coaxes him closer while I run away from them. I can't take it anymore, and I cannot seem to face them anymore after what happened.
This is not what I imagined us to be. Truthfully, I have made some dreams with Nanon in it, may it be just graduating together and finding a job, or just simply laying around during a lovely afternoon. Perhaps, a small picnic date by the lake with the meals that he prepared - I have imagined about those things with him. I wanted to have this perfect and yet attainable kind of relationship with him, a kind of relationship that I can call mine - and his. I have always wanted us to have a happy ending - not this. Not me running away from Nanon with Miller standing by the car who then puts a coat over me once I near him, and opens the door for the backseat. I pause and try to turn around but Miller places his hand on my shoulder making me lookup.
"Make sure that if you look back..." he smiles a sad one and squeezes my shoulder a bit tighter. "You will never leave his side," Miller adds and another tear runs down on my cheeks.
"But if not...then it is time for you to leave."
As agonizingly slow as it may seem, I take the backseat whilst sobbing and clutching unto the coat that was draped over me - finally realizing that it was Nanon's, and I cry even more. Miller starts the engine and true enough, I never once turned around to look at Nanon because I am not sure of what I want as of the moment. Yes, I perfectly have an idea of how much he wants me to grasp everything, but it's not as easy as it is for I am not aware that creatures such as them coexist with humans. We're in the modern world, a universe that is highly digitalized and is ruled by technology - who would have thought that they still exist?
