Can't Get Out

People say your first love is something you eventually outgrow.

Yes, I believed them. I believed that time would erase the boy who once made my heart race with a single smile. I believed that after all these years, he would become nothing more than another name buried in my memories.

But I was wrong, because the moment I saw Sebastian Keisuke Kurosawa again after more than a decade, every wall I had built around my heart collapsed like it had never existed.

The worst part? I already have someone.

Theo Laurent Alcantara, the man who stayed when everyone else walked away. The man who loved me long before I learned how to love myself. The man who never asked me to be perfect, only honest.

He deserves my whole heart. But how can I give him something that still belongs to yesterday?

Now I'm trapped between the man I never stopped loving... and the man who never stopped loving me.

Maybe this story isn't about choosing between two people. Maybe it's about learning whether love is meant to be held onto... or finally let go.

Because sometimes, the hardest person to leave behind isn't the one who left you, it's the one who never truly left your heart.
