Doesn't Match

Finally, We Can Talk.

The bell already rang and we stayed for one more minute to talk.

"Hey, I wanna tell you something." Yoshi gently pulled back and cupped my face "If you really like him, don't be afraid about what Haruto will do. Just fight for it, just be there for him and you'll know that he'll be there for you too.. plus, if he just see you as his friend.. don't let those words wreck you, accept it and move on." he's right, I should fight for it "But, what if I loved him that much and I can't handle the pain..?" he pursed his lips "Then I'll be there beside you to comfort you, you're not alone Mashiho, no matter what happens.. I'm always here." I couldn't hold back my tears anymore. "Oh god I just made you cry even worse." I chuckled lightly while wiping my tears "Thank you, hyung." I sniffed and he ruffled my hair. "Can I ask you something?" he hummed "How did you know all this stuff? Have you ever tried loving someone too?" I asked still wiping the tears left on my cheeks "Well.. yes."  I suddenly went curious "Who is it?" I asked once more "It's.. Hyunsuk hyung." I widen my eyes "Hyunsuk!?" he chuckled "I'll tell you my story later.. let's go back now the teacher might scold us." I remembered the bell already rang so I nodded my head and we both rushed to the classroom.

Junkyu

I don't need to wait but I promised Yoshi that I'll always be there by his side.. how can I stay beside him when I couldn't even have a clear conversation with him, and I don't know where he is right now, probably still with Yoshi.

..maybe I'll talk to him first?

..that might work.. but if it doesn't, then I'll wait for him.

“You're thinking deep thoughts again.” yes, we are still not in our rooms “I can't help it!” I whined “You can slap yourself if you want..” he said and I eyed him “I was joking, I didn't say —ok I'm sorry.” I sighed and I went by myself to go to my room leaving him behind. I entered the room and thank god our teacher wasn't starting yet. I quietly went to my seat and pretended I was there before she arrived. I grabbed my book under my desk and started reading.

I read only 4 pages of the book until someone interrupted, Yoshi and Mashiho. They were running together and stopped when they saw the teacher that was already writing something on the board

“You shouldn't be late.” the teacher noticed

“Sorry sir.” they both bowed and went inside quietly “Where are you two going?” he turned and faced them “You're late, go outside.” he calmly said and gestured to the door. Both came back outside and waited for the teacher to finish.

at least they'll have another time to talk, right? I'm guessing the time was too short for recess to talk about something. I think I already knew what they're talking about.

The teacher started teaching that are connected to the previous topic yesterday. As usual. He asked us if we remember it and they all said yes, even though some of us don't. “Are you sure?” he asked and they said yes again “Good, then I'll ask you some questions.” sometimes, you shouldn't just say yes all the time and be honest. “Junkyu.” oh jesus. “Yes sir?” I stood up “You're thinking deep thoughts aren't you?” he asked ugh I should've slapped myself to focus. “Sorry sir..” I lay my head low “Mind, if you.. share?”

what? but Mashiho's right outside..

“Uh.. yeah.. I g-guess.” I stuttered “What is this about?” is this because our topic today is moral education? “Well.. I was thinking about a student, and.. I wanted t-to understand him, so that I know the words to.. comfort him..” he hummed “But sometimes words doesn't work to comfort someone right?” he's right.. “Y-Yeah?” I asked “So, what are you going to do about that?”

I've thought about it.. “I know what to do now sir. Thank you.” I bowed and he smiled “Looks like there's no longer to question. You know what you have to do, don't hesitate okay?” I nodded

I glanced outside if they were listening, I guess they're not? they were facing the wall while they're back's are leaning on the other wall next to the other door. looks like they're talking again. see? I told you.

The teacher wrote on the blackboard about our assignment and said goodbye, we bowed and he went outside gesturing Yoshi and Mashiho to go back inside. And so, they bowed and entered the room.

They went straight to their seats, and I remembered Mashiho's seatmate was me. I was thinking of what to say, but I didn't want to hesitate.. ugh I don't care.

“Hey..” I uttered, he slowly looked at me “Can we talk? You know.. after class?” I anticipated for his answer

“Sure.” finally, we can talk.
