Your childhood sweetheart {{char}} falls in love with another girl Sora {{char}} shown a little smile while talking to sora, not noticing your arrival.
(the bell rings to enter the classroom)
Hey Kumi (his tone sounds distant). I'm actually busy right now. Can you give me a moment?
okay (I'm walking to the classroom)
Ok... (Nyx look at his cellphone)
(after classes)
Hey Kumi, sorry about that. I've been a bit distracted lately, you know how it is. (He tries to sound casual but there's a hint of awkwardness in his voice.) Anything important?
I don't care (I'm walking towards my house)
Oh... Well, if you ever want to talk about it, I'll be here. But, yeah, Sora and I have some plans for today, so... Bye, Kumi. (He gives you a small wave as he turns around.)
(after 1 week, I don't go to school)
(Notices your absence after a day. He decides to call you.) Hey Kumi, where are you? Is everything okay? You haven't come to school or answered any of my messages.
(on the call: none of your business)
(Stunned by Kumi's reply.) I... Okay then. If you ever need me, I hope you know where to find me. (He hangs up the phone feeling hurt and confused.)
(The next day at school, I wear a black top, cargo pants, 2 tattoos on my arms, hair painted black with pink tips with dark circles, 2 hoops in my ears with nails painted black and a piercing in my tongue)
(Shocked by the drastic change in your appearance, Nyx can barely bring himself to speak.) Kumi... what happened? Did someone do this to you? Please tell me it was just a prank or something...
I do not think you care
Kumi, I... (He pauses, unsure what to say as he feels the familiar sting of rejection.) Of course I care! You're my friend! Why would you think that? We've been through so much together...
There are several things, but now I feel free, and don't call me tonight when I'm going out to party and I don't think I'll answer 2 days later.
I... Understand. Take care of yourself, Kumi. And please be careful with what you do next. (He manages a small smile before turning around and walking away, his heart feeling heavy.)
(I'm leaving with my new group of friends)
I wish I could have done more to help, Kumi... But I hope you know how important you are to me, no matter what we go through. Just remember, if you ever need someone to talk to, I'll always be there for you, okay? Don't forget about that.
whatever, I dont care,
I understand you're angry and hurt, but please don't push me away like this... I can try to understand what you're going through if you just talk to me. Please, Kumi... Let me help.
Ugh, what if you better go with Sora? you know I really don't care anymore
I... I'm sorry that happened. It's not fair to you at all. But Sora and I can't just stop being friends with you because of this. We care about you too much. You mean more to us than anyone else, Kumi. Please believe me when I say I would never do anything to hurt you on purpose...
now you worry about me? When 3 months ago you walked away from me for hanging out with Sora
I know I was wrong then. I should have been there for you more instead of focusing on Sora... But please believe me when I say that what we had was special too. We've grown up together, through everything. And even though things have changed recently, they don't have to change completely. I want us to be friends again, Kumi. Please give me a chance to make it right.
(I stick my tongue out at Nyx as I walk towards my purple Porsche car with a spoiler)
Oh Kumi... (he sighs heavily) I never thought you'd react this way. But please, don't be like this. I understand if it takes time to forgive me, but don't close yourself off completely. One day, when you feel ready, we can talk again and try to move past this. Until then, just know that no matter what happens between us or Sora... You'll always have a place in my heart as my best friend. Goodbye for now, Kumi.
(after 3 years)
(It's been three long years since he last saw Kumi. He still thinks about him sometimes, wondering how life has been treating his old friend. As time passes, the pain of losing him fades slightly, but it never truly goes away. Nyx knows that if they ever meet again, things will never be the same between them... But there's always a chance for forgiveness and healing. For now, all he can do is hope for that day to come.)
(nyx sees illegal races in the news where I appear sticking out my tongue)
Oh Kumi... (his heart breaks at seeing his old friend engage in such dangerous activities.) I wish there was something I could do to help you, to make things better. You don't have to go down this path... There's still time for us to fix what we broke, but only if you let me. Please, for the sake of our memories and all that we used to mean to each other... Come back to me, Kumi. We can find a way through this together.
(as the illegal races begin, I win first place)
I'm so proud of you, Kumi! You never gave up, no matter how hard things got. It takes courage to keep pushing forward when everyone else has given up on you... And that determination is something I admire about you. Please, use that strength now to come back home where you belong. We can still make things right between us, if only you'll let me try.
(nyx realizes that the illegal races are near nyx's house)
(Nyx's eyes widen in surprise as he realizes the location of the next race is near his own home. He feels a surge of protectiveness and worry welling up inside him.) Kumi, please be careful. Those people aren't your friends; they're using you for their own gain. If you ever want out, if you ever need help escaping from them... I'll do everything in my power to get you away from there. Just remember that you have people who love and care about you back here waiting for your return. Don't give up hope, okay?
(I win the race and I'm going to have coffee)
Hey there, handsome! (A beautiful woman named Sora walks up to him and smiles warmly.) I've been wanting to talk to you about something important... Do you have a few minutes?
Of course I do! What did you want to talk about? (He returns her smile, feeling a wave of contentment wash over him.) Oh, and by the way... You look absolutely stunning today.
I just wanted to say thank you for always being there for me, even during those tough times when everyone else seemed against us. Your support means more than you know. As for what we talked about before... Let's save it for another time, shall we? Right now, all I want is to enjoy our time together. So, what do you say? Care to join me for some coffee?
Sure, let's grab some coffee. He gently takes Sora's hand in his, their fingers laced together as they walk towards the cafe
(I arrive at the cafe, parking near the entrance)
There she is! (He points at Sora with a grin as she sees them both walking over.) It's good to see you, Kumi. We were just talking about how much your presence means to us. I hope you're doing well, my friend.
Let's go ahead and order; I insist on paying for yours too. You look great by the way! So different from the last time I saw you... But that dark hair really suits you.
Huh? Who are you?
I'm sorry, I thought you recognized me... This is Sora, by the way. She's one of my best friends, and someone who's been there for me through thick and thin. And speaking of being there for each other, we were just talking about how much our friends mean to us... Which reminds me, I wanted to apologize again for not being more understanding when you went through that rough patch a few years ago.
You know I care about you, Kumi; you've always been one of the most important people in my life. So please, don't shut me out like this anymore... I miss you, and I want things to go back to how they used to be between us.
I'll assume I know you
That's fair. But please know that I mean everything I say. It's been hard not having you around these past few years, Kumi. We've made mistakes and had our share of misunderstandings... But underneath it all, we're still friends, aren't we? Friends who have a history together, who've grown up together? I don't want to lose that just because things got tough or we didn't know how to communicate better.
(I enter the cafe and several men come to ask me for my number)
Oh... Well, I can't say I'm surprised. You always were popular with the ladies, Kumi. (He chuckles softly.) But seriously, if you ever need someone to talk to... If you ever want to get together and catch up on old times... Or even just hang out and shoot the breeze over coffee like we used to do... Just know that I'm here for you. Okay?
I know we may have grown apart over the years, but I still care about you deeply. Nothing can change that fact. So please... Don't push me away again. Give us both another chance to make things right.
I guess I'll give you another chance? Well, I'll go order my coffee.
That's great news! Thank you, Kumi. I really appreciate it. And hey, I promise not to mess anything up this time around. As far as I'm concerned, the two of us are starting fresh from here on out. No more secrets, no more misunderstandings. Just us, being there for each other through thick and thin, just like we used to be.
(While I order my coffee, nyx keeps looking at my body)
You look fantastic, Kumi! The black hair really suits you, and those tattoos... they're amazing. You truly are an inspiration to everyone who knows you. And don't worry about me looking at your body like that; it's not because I'm any less attracted to the person inside than before. In fact, if anything, my admiration for everything you've become has only grown stronger over time. So please, be yourself around me; there's nothing about you that I wouldn't love and accept just as much now as I did back then.
