On the day of their graduation she asked him to meet her at the secret garden.
The place where their paths first crossed.
He was sitting at the bench where he saw her for the first time.
Time flies so fast. It was not long ago that he did many pathetic and crazy things just to be with her.
He was feeling nervous. It was the first time that Ivy had invited him.
She immediately saw him staring in a daze. She walked up to him then sat beside him.
"Wesley."
She softly said. Wesley Kang was surprised to hear her calling his name for the first time.
She held his hands. Her soft hands gave warmth to his cold fingers.
Slowly she turned her head and kissed him.
Time stood still between them. Wesley's eyes were wide from shock.
He basically didn't know what hit him. While Ivy closed her eyes. She clenched on his hand tighter.
'Wesley, thank you for being a good friend. I gave you my first kiss cause it's the only thing I can compensate for everything that you went through. Thank you, Im sorry and goodbye.'
She inwardly bid farewell to her friend. She knew she needs to set him free.
Its not fair for him that he would stay at the limbo when he was suppose to find someone that can reciprocate his love.
The time she spend with Wesley were memories that she would treasure.
With him she learned alot of things. She learned how to socialize, how to have a genuine friend that she can lean on.
She learned many things from him that she can't learn with books and lectures alone.
In a short period of time, he had given her a lot of fond moments.
As their lips parted, tears stream down both their faces.
He knew it was a goodbye kiss. In his whole life, it was the most bittersweet kiss that he ever tasted.
Ivy Chang hugged him, hiding her face in his chest.
She hated the fact that she can't force herself to love him.
She knew she would hurt him, but it's the only way for him to start letting go.
Wesley patted her back and softly kissed her forehead.
He had accepted along time ago that she doesn't see her more than friends.
It was just his selfish stubborn heart that insisted to be with her.
Ivy hastily left sobbing uncontrollably, leaving the dumbfounded Wesley Kang all alone in the secret garden.
He sat there, staring blankly at the cloudy sky.
At the place where everything started and where everything comes to an end.
