I broke the eye contact at last and stared at my own cold metal pistol in my hands, the barrel was loaded and I had a faster reaction time than him but I didn't do it. I didn't shoot him because why would I?

 

 

He kept a cautious gaze between me and my gun, his own gun was still pointing at me without the slightest of hesitation. Finger on trigger, ready to pull.

 

 

Once again, I directed my gaze back to his eyes and I smiled.

 

 

"I wanted to say thank you…"

 

 

"for what? I'm about to kill you and you thank me!? Have you gone nuts?"

 

 

I ignored his statement.

 

 

"I want to thank you for… approaching me. For coming into my life."

 

 

Let's be friends!

 

 

"For making me smile and for making me laugh."

 

 

I swear I am going to die from how retarded you look right now! ahahaha

 

 

"For letting me be a normal kid for once…"

 

 

Hey! Stop splashing me! I am getting my revenge!!

 

 

"For being yourself and sharing your feelings"

 

 

I just… miss her so much…

 

 

"For giving me a name"

 

 

Whaat!? You have no name? well, I'll name you Ara!

 

 

"For being my friend…"

 

 

What are friends for!

 

 

"And being my first love…"

 

 

Don't go falling for me just cause I saved your one time!

 

 

I let my first ever tear fall down.

 

 

And my last.

 

 

"For being the key that released me and let me cry"

 

 

I smiled softly at him and he remained speechless.

 

 

"And for letting me say goodbye."

 

 

Before he had the time to react, to even realised what I meant.

 

 

I pulled my gun to my head and felt the cold metal for only a moment before a loud bang! Could be heard.

 

 

My body dropped over the stream and darkness overwhelmed every corner of me.

 

 

The life had drained out of me before I could see our untainted sanctuary be tainted by the very person that found it.

 

 

I could no longer hear him scream out the name he gave me.

 

 

I could no longer see him running over to me and holding my body with shock.

 

 

I could no longer feel the tears the drenched my cold face as he cried and cried.

 

 

"no…" he sobbed "Don't go… Don't leave me…" He held on to me hoping that I would just wake up and say it was just a prank. "Why… I… love you." He had sat there with my body as the stream began flowing with my blood.

 

 

I could no longer comfort him or laugh with him.

 

 

I knew he wouldn't have been able to kill me, but he needed to. To save his sister. I knew he would end up not doing it.

I already knew… because when I looked at someone in the eye, I could see their past, present and future.

 

 

Since the first time we met… I already knew…

 

 

***

We were both lying down on the grass looking up to the starry night.

 

 

'I'm 18 now and he's 19.' I thought.

 

 

"Hyuk…"

 

 

"yea?"

 

 

"Promise me… that you'll be happy."

 

 

He looked to me strangely not understanding why I said that.

 

 

"what are you on about Ara?"

 

 

"I just want you to promise me that you won't lose your smile, your laugh and your trust in the future"

 

 

"okay then…"

 

 

"I won't be here forever, think about it. This world is corrupted, anything can happen"

 

 

"But don't worry! I'll protect you like a man!"

 

 

I laughed "well just promise me you won't change when I'm not around"

 

 

"only if you do the same"

 

 

"okay then it’s a promise"

 

 

We linked our pinkies together and touched each other's thumb.

 

 

"But I'm sure we'll both live a long life!" he said

 

 

"Yea… maybe."

 

 

"it's nearly time…" I muttered to myself, he didn't hear.

 

 

'next year. One month until next year…' I thought to myself.

 

 

'goodbye… Hyuk…'

***

 

 

Maybe in another life… We could have been happy.

 

 

Maybe in another world… We could have met normally.

 

 

Maybe in another form… We could have been together.

 

 

But in this life, world, form. We can never be.
