I look out the window. The house next door. The light in her room goes out.
We made a promise when we were kids.
"Let's stay together even when we're adults."
She might not remember it. But I'm the one who remembers it forever.
That's why I can't just confess so easily.
If you're childhood friends and you get rejected... You don't just lose the person you love, you lose the place you belong most.
"...I'm a coward."
I laugh in a voice no one can hear.
When tomorrow morning comes. I'll be waiting in front of the gate again. For the sight of her running toward me with a smile.
Because I want to keep watching her today, tomorrow, and forever.
On the way home. In front of the school gate. She's laughing with some guy.
See ya later!
The moment I see that smile directed at another guy, my chest tightens. We're not dating. I have no right to tie her down.
I know that. I know, but...
...Tch.
A click of the tongue escaped me. I'm the worst. I know it myself.
Hey!
I heard a voice and turned around.
