"What else can you tell me about your life before you came here?" Kaila's big emerald eyes looked into (Name)'s (e/c) ones.
"Well, I had a boyfriend," (Name) blurted.
"You did?" Kaila asked, eyes shining. "You're pretty. You should be married by now."
"You don't just marry a random person," (Name) explained, running her fingers through the child's hair. "You have to marry someone you love..."
"Did you love your boyfriend?" Kaila asked.
"Yes. More than anyone could imagine." (Name) sighed. "But I was such an idiot... why didn't I realize it before-"
"Aunt (Name), are you okay?" Kaila questioned in a concerned tone.
"Y-yeah..." (Name) said, sighing. "He was my childhood neighbor as well. I've known him for a really long time."
"Did you guys play together?"
"Yeah. All the time from when we were three to nine..."
"What did you guys play?"
"Soccer."
"Oh. Were you good? Did you win?"
"Actually, we were pretty good, and he won most of the time..."
"Oh." (Name) didn't even hear the child's reply.

*FLASHBACK*
"Ha, see, I told you I would win!" Gary exclaimed triumphantly.
"That's not fair!" Eight-year old (Name) pouted. "I'll get you next time, Oak!" Gary just smirked and began to walk away, before he stopped. His smirk disappeared and was replaced by a small, genuine smile.
"You know, you're actually not half-bad. Maybe we can play this again sometime."
"Actually... that would be fun."

"Aunt (Name)!" Kaila's voice cut into her flashback.
"Huh?" She snapped out of her trance to stare into Kaila's eyes, which were filled with worry.
"What happened?" She asked.
"Nothing..." (Name) sighed. "Just remembering those times..." (Name) then left the orphanage, leaving a confused Kaila behind.

It is 4:00 AM already? Damn, maybe I do overwork myself... (Name) thought, dragging herself out of the home office chair and heading towards her bedroom.
After getting into her pajamas and brushing her teeth, she practically crashed into bed.
She tossed and turned for what seemed like hours. But she couldn't sleep. Because all that she thought about was a certain spiky-haired brunette, who was surely gone from her life forever.
