You stand in the midst of endless fields of various vibrant colors of already and perfectly bloomed carnation flowers, just like the exact scenario on very first time you had came to this contrive place.

Though the big, and very obvious difference this time right at this encounter, is that your most beloved and dearest male is nowhere to be seen.

'Where is he?' you thought to yourself as you scope your eyes around the area.

"Koushi-kun?" you called out in hope that someone will answer, E/C pools darting everywhere before you began to aimlessly walk around with no apparent destination like a lost child in the crowd searching for the presence and comfort of her parents.

"Where are you...?"

The gentle whiff of the wind blowing throughout the seemingly boundless scope of land where carnations blanketed over everything, made the flowers sway to the breeze.

"Koushi-kun..."

The silky, black linen long skirt that delicately reach your S/C toned ankles you wore, and H/C strands flutter to join along with the dance of the soft wind as well.

Under the basking sun's harsh glare where it resides on the heavens above in the middle of the vast blue skies, your eyes squinted at the amount of light it casted in the area.

But that fact was far from being an actual hinder in your search.

As you continue to go on roaming around for who knows how long you had been already doing it, panic and dread were slowly building up within you like bricks each minute that would came to pass.

In spite of not stopping to even take at least a short break to rest your sore feet from ceaselessly moving around towards who knows where it will lead you to, you still failed to see and find him.

Not even his mere shadow.

"K-Koushi-kun, where are you?!" the last string that keeps your composure finally snapped as you screamed out of desperation, overwhelming trepidation crawling through your system in fear of actually losing him.

'Please, please, please, Koushi-kun.'

'Answer me.'

'Please be here.'

'Please don't go.'

You keep pleading in your mind in hysteria, your once warm hands turning cold and sweaty from all the paranoic thoughts of hundred probable possibilities running through your head.

'Don't leave me, please.'

As if on cue that the God residing above the heavens heard your constant and frantic begging at last, a gentle but loud set of footsteps that seemed in a hurry resonated behind you.

"Y/N!!!"

That all too well soothing voice that your were very familiar of and unlikely to ever forget, reignited the measly sliver of dwindling hope within you back into to it's recent ablaze.

You turn on your heels faster than a millisecond, a relieved smile tugging on the brittleness of your soft lips upon seeing the boy you've been looking for a prolonged period of time.

However, the expression he have at the very moment heavily contrasted your happiness, sending you into a pit of confusion but your smile remained on it's current place as you tread closer towards him.

"K-Koushi-kun!" you beamed in joy. "You're finally here! I've been---"

"Y/N, what did you do?!" he brusquely cut in with a shout, taking you aback at the volume of the tone he never used once on you before. You took notice how ragged and deep his breathing process was, close to a person having a severe anxiety attack.
