Author
I had this account..
Author
I wrote the prequel....very nicely....
Author
I think I will continue...
On the same day....before the evening Yuki met Haru
Asahi
What are you so happy about ???
Asahi
Teenagers nowadays are pretty interesting and all over the place , i cannot make a random guess
Asahi
It would be very helpful if you just told me
Yuki
Today is something very special
Yuki
It is our first month anniversary
Asahi
'our' as in you and Ryuu ???
Yuki
I cannot wait to see if he remembers.
Yuki
He said that yesterday he had something special to do that is why he couldn't meet me after school. I think he prepared something for me
Asahi
(sighs) ok ok....hold your horses
Asahi
I am happy for you...but don't forget to pay attention in class , ok ???
Asahi
(smiles) we are here
Yuki
Thank you for dropping me again
Asahi
No problem...just take care , ok ??? If you need anything just call me , I will be at the company
Asahi
That boy....(sighs) I don't know what to do with him....(smiles)
Asahi
(starts the car and leaves)
Yuki
*I wonder where he is...*
[After looking around for a while , Yuki didn't find Ryuu. As it was almost time for the classes to start , he just went to his class]
Yuki
(goes and sits at his usual place) *he is not here as well. Maybe he is planning to surprise me....ofcourse!! Why did I not think of that ?? He must be preparing. That guy...he really likes to show off*
Yuki
*I cannot wait to see him* (smiles)
[after the classes ended]
Yuki
*I should call him* (dials his number)
unknown girl
Hey...why don't you just leave him ?? He really annoys me
unknown boy
Just a few days , babe.... I don't really like him...
unknown boy
He is just loaded like heck ! He has an entire company to his name !! I heard he was the heir
unknown girl
That sounds.....amazing. What are you planning to do ??
unknown boy
I will say that my parents are in dire need of money and ask him to send a couple million into my account. As soon the I get the notification...we are done...
unknown girl
Sounds amazing....
Yuki
*that voice.....am i imagining it ???* (gets near the corner of the building and tries to hear in on them)
unknown girl
You know....you look pretty good in that white shirt...
unknown boy
Oh really....what is inside is even more... amazing (says in a seductive voice)
(Yuki tries to peek in a little. As soon as he witnessed the scene...his eyes widen due to shock. He gets out from the corner and goes near them)
(they both turn to look at him)
Ryuu
What are you doing here ?!?
Yuki
I should ask the same from you !!!
Yuki
What do you think you are doing !?!
Yuki
(looks at the girl) do you have no shame !?! He is in a relationship with me !! How can you hoard someone when they are taken !?!
unknown girl
Oh yeah !! I didn't hoard him! He was never yours to being with !
unknown girl
(turns to Ryuu) I guess we have to execute your plan sooner
Yuki
Tell me you were lying.....
Yuki
You are not after my money....
Yuki
It was all a.........lie.....right ??
Yuki
This is all a prank...
Yuki
You are just trying to surprise me....
Yuki
(takes a step towards Ryuu)
Ryuu
(scoffs) you think ???
Ryuu
My love for you was a lie. Our relationship was a prank
Yuki
N-no way....you loved me...
Yuki
You said that you liked me with all your heart !!
Ryuu
Well , reality check ! It was all a lie
Ryuu
What do you take me for ??
Ryuu
I am not a disgusting homo!!
Ryuu
(laughs) if you were really in love with me , then you should've noticed how revolted I was when I was with you !!
Ryuu
Just because you have money...you think you are better than us ! All you have is money and looks
Ryuu
I am pretty sure you were cheating behind me this whole time !
Yuki
No !! I never cheated on you !! Cheating on you never even came to my mind !
Yuki
Don't say these things...
Ryuu
(goes to Yuki and grabs his face)
Ryuu
still blabbering i see
Ryuu
I don't trust this pretty little face of yours
Yuki
(eyes widen and tears start forming)
Ryuu
I am pretty sure you have lured many men into your bedroom with just a single word
Yuki
N-No.....I would never...
Ryuu
You think i don't know how you disgusting faggots work !?!
Ryuu
I know it better than anyone !! Since I have firsthand experience....(smirks)
unknown girl
How long do I have to wait , babe ??
unknown girl
It is getting pretty hot here....my makeup might melt off and being near this homo and breathing in the same air as him is making me kinda...sick...
Ryuu
I am almost done with him babe
Ryuu
go get your bag from the classroom
Ryuu
I will be done with him till you return
unknown girl
Sure !! (leaves)
Yuki
You don't have to worry....
Yuki
I know this is all.....just a prank..
Ryuu
you are still going about it ???
Ryuu
I guess you people don't understand when people tell you off !
Yuki
Why.....why did you treat me so well....if your just wanted to leave me !?!
Ryuu
I am a man. I also need to have my fun
Yuki
(tries his best not to cry or show any weakness)
Ryuu
Oh ! So you are trying to fight with your tears now !?
Ryuu
The audacity you have !!
Ryuu
You know what.....since I am throwing you away anyways....why not have a little fun while I am at it (smirks)
Yuki
(eyes widen as he looks into Ryuu's eyes)
Yuki
Don't.... don't you dare !! (takes a step back)
Ryuu
come on...babe.... don't be afraid
Ryuu
(takes a step towards Yuki)
Yuki
(tries to run away) stay away from me !!
Ryuu
(grabs Yuki's hand and pins him on the wall of the building)
Ryuu
Not so fast (says with a dark grin)
Ryuu
I don't remember the last time we kissed...I guess it would be a great choice to do that (smirk)
Ryuu
(goes closer to Yuki and kisses him on the lips)
[Yuki tried his best to push him away but to no avail. He forced himself onto Yuki even when Yuki was crying very hard. He didn't listen to a single word that left Yuki's mouth.]
unknown girl
(puts her hand around his arm)
unknown girl
I am so happy that you finally got rid of that faggot
[both walked out of the campus as if nothing ever happened. But what about Yuki , he cannot walk out of the campus looking like nothing ever happened. He lost the one who he considered his life.]
Yuki
(gets up from the ground , takes his bag and rushed towards the park that he and Ryuu always went to)
[after running for 20 minutes]
[it was already 6:48 pm. It was the day before Christmas. The day that Yuki thought would be all about him and.....Ryuu. But now...he is all alone...crying as the snow started to fall. It would be a White Christmas for everyone but for him.....What about him ?? He is left behind.]
Yuki
(goes and sits on the bench and started to cry again.)
unknown boy
(moves a pack of tissues in front of him)
Yuki
(he looks up as he heard the rustling)
Author
I really did forget about this story....i didn't know that people will actually read it.
Author
I am so happy that few people read this and showed their support.
Author
I will continue writing this story.
Author
I hope you all will love and support this story !!
02
[Asahi was very worried since Yuki hasn't shown up yet. He waited out Yuki's uni on the time when Yuki usually gets out but he didn't see him there. He didn't see that excuse-of a boyfriend either]
[He tried asking around , with teachers , students, staffs , the shopkeepers nearby. They all said the same thing that he was not standing there on his usual timing]
[Asahi was panicking at this point. All the possibilities running through his head. In the end he thought he should go home , maybe he might be there.]
[when he reached home he didn't see Yuki there. He tried calling him many times but...to no avail.]
unknown boy
(picks up) what happened??? Did the mighty Asahi Kobayashi finally remembered me ???
unknown boy
📱 why ?? What happened???
Asahi
📱Z-Zen....i cannot find Yuki
Zen
📱 wait there i am coming ! Kai must be getting off work as well....I will bring him as well
Asahi
Yuki....where are you...
Zen
I asked around a bit....I still cannot get any whereabouts....
Kai
Where is he ?? It is almost 11:30 pm...
Kai
Asahi...did Yuki plan something today ????
Asahi
No..he was just excited that it was his First month anniversary with that.....Ryan or whatever his name was...
Kai
Did you try calling Ryuu ??
Asahi
He didn't pick up...
(suddenly they hear a knock on the door. They all ran to the main door and opened it. It was snowing heavily and in the snow , Yuki was there on the door)
(His eyes red and swollen due to crying. His face as pale as the snow.)
Asahi
(grabs Yuki's hand and bring him in)
Asahi
WHAT WERE YOU THINKING !?!?!
Asahi
DO YOU KNOW HOW WORRIED I WAS !?! I-
Kai
(puts his hand in Asahi's shoulder)
Kai
Let him talk....first we should warm him up
Kai
It is very cold outside
Zen
I will go prepare the bath
(As soon as they turned around to go inside, Yuki fell on his knees. Due to the loud thud , they all turned around to see Yuki)
Asahi
(runs towards Yuki and kneels down beside him)
(Kai and Zen also comes near panicking)
Asahi
Yuki ! What happened?? Are you ok ??
Asahi
Yuki...what happened??
Asahi
I am here...tell me what happened..
Yuki
(sobs) he...he cheated on me..
Kai
Calm down....first hear him
Zen
(goes near Yuki and sits down beside him)
Yuki
He said that he never loved me..and was only after my money...
Yuki
He...he...forced himself onto me...(sobs)
Asahi
HE DID WHAT !?! (stands up)
Asahi
WHERE DOES HE LIVE!! Let me show him the consequences of his action !
Zen
Yuki needs us with him right now. It won't be a good decision to go right now
Kai
We can meet him tomorrow but right now Yuki needs us with him.
Asahi
(kneels down on Yuki's level again)
Asahi
Yuki...I am sorry...i shouldn't have yelled at you like that.
Yuki
Why did he do that.....??? (sobs) am I not good enough other than my face and money..??
Yuki
I loved him....very much...(sobs)
Asahi
It was not your fault.
Asahi
He is the one at fault.
Asahi
You shouldn't think like that.
Kai
Yes...Yuki.. don't beat yourself down for someone like him ! You will definitely find someone better
Kai
Someone who loves you...someone who loves Yuki. Not his face or money
Yuki
Even after all I did...even after all that...he still did that ??? (sobs) I don't know anymore..
Yuki
Am I not good enough ??
Zen
Don't say that Yuki. He is the one who is not good enough for you ! He is the one who is lacking.
Asahi
Let's go inside first....you might catch cold here
Zen
Yes...I will go get the bath ready (he runs to the bathroom and starts the water)
Kai
I will go make him something warm...Asahi , don't get angry.
Kai
Anger doesn't solve anything
Kai
listen to him right now. He needs a listener right now , not a fighter
Asahi
(picks Yuki up in bridal style and takes him to the fire place and sits him down)
Asahi
Stay here...I will bring you a blanket
Asahi
(hurries upstairs to get a blanket)
Yuki
Did i not pay enough attention to what he needed...
Yuki
did the gifts I gave not upto his taste....
Yuki
But..but he said that he liked them all...(sobs)...then why..?
Yuki
I don't understand anything....
Yuki
(brings his knees close him and hugs them) Mom...dad.....i don't understand anything
Yuki
You said that....I can get whatever I want...then why...
Asahi
(comes back and sees Yuki crying)
Asahi
(covers him with the blanket and sits beside him)
Yuki
(hugs him) what did i do wrong....(sobs)
Asahi
You didn't do anything wrong.
Asahi
Now don't think about him. Didn't you say you believed in Fate and Destiny and all that fantasy stuff
Asahi
If he was the one for you , then this all wouldn't have happened. Let's say that....in one of those novels you read , your favourite character's boyfriend cheated on him. Will you like it if he was beating himself down about that cheater and crying his eyes out ??
Asahi
So....why are you crying...
Yuki
But I am not a novel character...I have feelings....I smile when I am happy and cry when I am sad..
Asahi
You know what is similar in you and your favourite novel character...that you both have people who have your back , people who will rub your back when you are crying
Asahi
People who are ready to do anything to make you stop crying...
Asahi
Just because they live between pages and you live in the real world doesn't mean that the feelings aren't similar
Yuki
You think that I am as good as my favorite novel characters ???
Asahi
I think that you are better than them !!
Asahi
(ruffles his hair and smiles)
Asahi
Now don't put yourself down due to some minor causality
Asahi
You have better things to do than cry for some lowlife monkey
Kai
See ! I made your favourite chicken soup !!
Kai
(brings the bowl on a tray and puts it near Yuki)
Kai
Taste it and tell me how it is !!
Kai
I poured my heart and soul into it !!
Kai
You know I learnt it recently as well !
Kai
(looks at Yuki with stars in his eyes)
Yuki
(takes a sip) *it is so....warm* i... love it...
Zen
Are you all partying alone ?? Without me ??
Zen
AND hogging Yuki all to yourselves
Asahi
Were you filling up the tub or digging a hot spring ??
Zen
Why do you have to say it like that !?!
Kai
You all sit here..I will bring some soup all of us as well
Kai
(goes to the kitchen and brings 3 more bowls of soup)
Asahi
(takes one of the bowls) thanks
Kai
Did the mighty Asahi Kobayashi just say one of the 3 magic words !!?!
Kai
Z-Zen...hold me...I think I am dreaming...
Zen
I agree with Kai on this
Zen
Why are you being such a softie all of a sudden ??
Asahi
I am not acting like a softie ! It is how I am !!
Kai
Sure sure.... convince yourself first
Zen
Seems like Yuki stopped crying as well
Yuki
Sorry for being out so long.
Yuki
I should've atleast sent a text about where i was
Yuki
I am sorry for making you all worry about me
Kai
Don't say sorry. We don't mind worrying about you at all.
Kai
You are like our little brother !
[they all spent the night laughing and chatting. They didn't leave Yuki alone for even a second. All of them together , in the living room , near the fire place. Spending the Christmas eve together. Planning what to do in the morning.]
[Snowman , snow fight , warm food , going outside , having fun , spend the day together with your loved ones]
[And forgetting the feelings of a broken first love........]
[or maybe...witnessing the beginning of a first love]
