Unrequited [Prologue] - 유키 님

Oh it had been so long.

I finally saw him.

This person... That makes my heart skip a beat every time we meet.

And I just couldn't help it.

I couldn't help it. It's been so long...

And so I ran... I ran to him.

And I hugged him.

And he hugged me back.

My arms draped around him, my head buried in his neck.

And he did the same.

Suffocated by the faint smell of cigarette on him, yet I endured it.

For he is in my arms, and I am in his.

For who knows how much time could have passed.

And I didn't care.

For I am in his hold, and he is in mine.

And then he breathed on my neck.

"I missed you."

Yet this is not love.

For there is only one heart that loves.

For it is only I that loves, yet he does not.

I am suffocated.

No, not by the faint smell of cigarette lingering on him, but with the pain that only I can feel.

The pain that stabs me every time we touched.

The pain of an unrequited love.
