In the middle of a cold and dark place, there was a glimpse of light waking me from my slumber. My heartbeat is louder than the ticking sound of the clock.
I could barely breathe, and Yes, I survived. I'm here in Akira's room. I suddenly looked at the clock; it's three o'clock in the morning. "Shocks, Kira and I have a date later!" I looked away, and my sleep was shallow. "I'm so nervous and excited at the same time." - I murmured. So, I'll close my eyes, and I force myself to sleep.
Gin has now fallen asleep. At last, you can hear his snoring, which is a sign that he has a good sleep. A few hours later, Buzz... Buzz... Buzz... Buzz... - Gin's phone vibrates continuously. He woke up suddenly and searched his phone to see who was calling him.

Chapter 12 - Past(Inei’s pov) It's just an ordinary morning, and I am standing at my rooftop, staring at nowhere wandering around my mind. What exactly happened to me? " AHHHH!! I look stupid. " - I murmur while scratching my head.I am Inei Mizuki, twenty-six years old. A decade ago, I was deceived in love. Back in my high school days, I fell in love with a girl who was indeed my first love. She was my classmate. Every time I enter the classroom, she is immediately the first one I see; when our teacher was in class, I was just stunned behind her. I was lucky because she was sitting in front of me. That's why we became close.Her name is Hina; She is beautiful and refined and had short black hair that matched his gentle face. Her lips were re
Hina Sakamoto - Inei Mizuki's first love after almost 10 years of being separated from each other they meet again.What is the role of Hina in Inei Mizuki's life? will it make Inei's life better or make his love life more complicated? Let's find out. Hoping this will give a little twist to my story.NOTE: Let's take a break from Akira and Gin's story. In Chapter 12, Inei Mizuki reminiscing about his past and his first love named Hina Sakamoto. This story involves Inei's past on how his first love affected his past love to his daily life and became a playboy in love.
Chapter 13 - First LoveIt seems like the weather is now erratic, precisely like my feelings. I cannot even recognize why I am going back to my past. Yes, indeed, I was a Playboy back then. " Mizuki Inei! Damn you!" I said to myself. My mind is blank, and my vision is vague. I didn't realize that I had been soaking it in the bathtub for almost half an hour. I think of my restless thoughts.'So, it occurred to his mind that he had left the soaking, drained the water in the bathtub, took the towel to wipe, put on the bathrobe, and went to his room. When he entered his room, his phone suddenly buzzed, non-stop.'"Oh, It's strange why my phone received a lot of notifications. Wait, who is this?." - I immediately picked my phone, and I was surprised when I saw the name on my phone scree
Chapter 14 - Hina Sakamoto"I love you, Mizuki," - Those phrases keep playing in my mind, but I did not make it clear to her that I heard what she told me; after Hina hugged me, I pushed her away softly and whispered in her ear, "Calm down, Hina. Sit down first and then let's talk, okay?" and thank goodness she relaxes now and sits down. My nervousness towards Hina turns into compassion. I want to pat her head."Ahm, What do you want to order? Do you eat lunch?" - I keep asking her, but she is shy and quiet at the same time. I suddenly stood up and went to the counter and ordered her favorite chocolate parfait. Back then, also here in this cafe, we always hung out when we finished our class. Hina likes chocolate parfait, and it helps her to lift her mood when sh
Chapter 15 - Love and Hate"Shit, I didn't expect that Hina still loves me. After all those years, we separated without any communication. What the heck!." - I was restless as I talked to myself. I feel like the world has stopped spinning while I was stunned, my eyes dazed somewhere while staring in front of Hina.I made a way to change the mood of our atmosphere. I need to breathe literally. "Erm. Hold it, Hina. I know you are only confused right now. Let's go somewhere to brighten you up a little bit." As I told Hina, I helped her to stand up and held her hand. I could hardly walk straight because I was embarrassed by what happened inside the cafe.Finally, I calmed down a bit. The two of us got in the car. We were going to the amusement park, where we first dated, but Hina held my hand, and sh
Chapter 16 - My Girl, Yuki Yozora‘Yuki Yozora is my girlfriend, and I love her so much; she is my treasure and my everything (...).’I met her two years ago, I still remember the day and time of our first meeting, the Twenty-third of August, Three minutes before dusk, and she was fifteen years old back then, in a park near the school where I used to study. As far as I know, I was sitting on the bench as I reminisced about the filthy things I had done since Hina Sakamoto cheated on me; until that moment, the pain I was feeling still wouldn't go away, and it occurred to me that I should end my life.But just like a magic spell, My heart seemed to be caught by her, and Yuki's smile quickly dragged me as she rode the swing right in front of
Chapter 17 - Good-ByeWhen I reached my place, I saw Yuki standing next to my driveway, seemingly crying and anxious. "I am so dead. What will I do to face Yuki at this moment?"I was in the car for about ten minutes because I didn't know how to deal with Yuki at that time. But I dared to face her. I called her name, got inside the car, and sat in the passenger seat next to me. It looks like I'm on a trial court; I cannot speak like a dumb because of nervousness. The feeling that your soul will be separated from your earthly body feels different when you have done something wrong to your partner.'I cannot help it!'On the right side of my eyes, I could barely see the reflect
Chapter 18 - The Last Goodbye"I am Yuki Yozora, and I am no longer a girlfriend of Inei Mizuki, and he is part of my past now."I still remembered the day and time, Friday night, ten minutes before midnight, when I asked to break up with him. At that very moment, my heart was a prisoner that liked to evade Inei's shadow for a couple of years. I've to love Inei Mizuki with all my heart and soul; I am the one who is frequently waiting for him to change his way of life, but I am exhausted.I always see him with a woman, sometimes a man; I can see in their actions that they have more relationships than friends. At the same time, I'm like a fool who just followed him and pretended that I didn't know everything. He always has a reason when I want to see him. He was cold, and I didn't know him anymore
Eleven long years slipped away like sand through an hourglass, marking the passage of time since my senior year in high school. A destined encounter awaited me—I met him. A pretty twenty-six-year-old average man crossed my path, his unassuming demeanor concealing the unforeseen role he would play as my first-ever boyfriend. The memories linger vividly in my mind.Eleven years ago, At Ibaraki Prefecture High SchoolAkira Kaneko, a sixteen-year-old high school student, possessed a unique beauty with her short black hair, round gray eyes, and lovely brown complexion. With a sharp nose and standing at approximately 152 cm, her friends affectionately called her “Chibi,” a Japanese word for small. She was a hardworking student who cherished self-love but was delicate in matters of the heart.On a beautiful sunny day during lunch break, a warm breeze tenderly graced her face as she sat at her desk, gazing out the window. The spirited basketball team commanded the quadrangle, and the harmonio
Chapter 20 - Confession'Akira is like cherry blossoms on a spring day. She blooms beautifully andeye-catching, which captures my heart. A bright sun gives me warmth after a cold winter; she is like a breeze on the seaside that embraces me wherever I go. She touches me, kisses me, soothing my senses.' – those shallow words popped up in my head that I've never said.While Akira was still asleep beside me, I realized that I had been in love with her for half of my life. I revert to being a poet out of love. I wanted to protect her heart from those guys who tried to flirt and hurt Kira's heart, especially with Mr Inei Mizuki. A minute later, she finally woke up, and we were just about to arrive in Tokyo. "Oh, I'm sorry, I fell asleep," Akira said. At last! We arrived safe and sound. I suddenly forgot my preparations for this trip, including those listed in my itinerary."I was excited and nervous about being alone with her." We got off the train. I still couldn't move on because I was
Chapter 19 - Magical MomentTen years ago, I had a childhood friend named Akira Kaneko, and I treasure those memories when we first met in our elementary school days; we were both young then. " My name is Gin Hiroshi. When I was nine years old, I was bullied because I was so ugly, fat boy; my classmates kept teasing me, which even got to the point where I didn't want to go to school anymore. I was afraid to complain to my parents because they might not listen to me, and I was scared of my classmates that when they found out I complained to my parents, they would push me to the top of the slide on the school playground. One day on a cold Friday morning, Akira saw me crying at the corner of the hallway; she approached me and started to talk to me, then she took the handkerchief from her pocket. That moment my heart fluttered as she patted my shoulder to calm me. I still cherish the words of encouragement that she told me. "Don't worry. I'll be here. I can be you
