So... What is the word "I Love You"?
They say that it is to express their deep feelings of affection, commitment, and care towards someone they have an emotional attachment to. It can be said between romantic partners, family members, friends, and even to pets or objects. Saying "I love you" often signifies a desire for closeness, intimacy, and trust.
But for me...
"Amazaki Yuna... I'm In Love With You. Please Go Out With Me."
It's a Confirmation. A confirmation If I had a chance whether she's in love with me or not. But I already know what's gonna happen next.
"Are you Joking? Because this is not funny at all. After all..."
"Your my dearest Childhood Friend."
We both said.
Yes this girl is my Childhood Friend, My Childhood Crush and the Main Character of her story. This is not the typical story about a girl who got her own harem or what we call "Reverse Harem"
This is the story of the Childhood Friend Male after the Ending of the Female Character on a Romantic Comedy. But as I said before, I was not Isekai'd or Reincarnated on a RomCom Novel, Manga, Anime or Netflix Series at all
I'm just a novel fanatic who reads too many novel about RomCom and after reading a novel similar to what happen on my surroundings with my Childhood Friend.
But in your Typical RomCom we all know that the time you were born and grabbed the title of "Childhood Friend" you already lose the war before it even began.
"Eh?"
That was her reaction, well who won't get shocked that you said the same thing at the same time.
"Wait, how did you-"
I cut her off before she continues.
"Yuna. I'm gonna ask you one last time. Not as your Childhood Friend or anything. I'm In love with you ever since we were child."
I seriously said it. My feelings that I hide after a long time, but it is not to express, but to confirm if there was a time she falls in love with me.
As soon as I said it she blushed but with a sad on her face, and in that moment I knew.
"Sorry. But I can't accept your feelings back."
I knew it. But to hide the feeling of sadness, I just smiled at her and said
"That's alright. I know that I'm already too late to compete with him."
"Him?"
"Yuna. I hope you choose the one you loved."
After that I walked away leaving her behind and when I was sure that she wasn't looking, tears fall down in my eyes after I hide, so that she won't see the crybaby side of me.
After all, When we we're kids, She was the only person who helped me whenever I was bullied by my classmate in kindergarden.
A few minutes later I stopped crying and I remembered to get my bag on the club I entered when I was in first year In highschool.
By the way, I'm still in 2nd year in highschool so as I said, That this is not the typical ending of a highschool RomCom where we confirmed who won the battle.
But anyways, I was heading to the club and when I opened the door a silhouette of a girl was sitting in the open window of our club.
I rubbed my eyes to see who is that person and surprisingly, it's just my Senpai, Miyazaki Akane.
Miyazaki Akane, one of the school flower in our school, She's smart, athletic, and most of all is her overblooming beauty that even most men on our school confessed to her but rejected all of them without them saying a word.
"So what happen? Did you confessed to her?"
"Urrk!"
She really hurt me where it hurts the most.
"Ehhhh... So you confessed to her huh? Just like the novel said here."
Yeah... You guessed it. She knows the novel too. The novel that started all of this problem that destroy my life and my Childhood friend's life.
Well only mine.
"So what are you gonna do now? Cry and weep like a crybaby you use to?"
I was going to snap at her but I remained calmed. I grabbed my bag and rushed to the door but suddenly.
Swish!
Senpai closed the door very hard and clearly shows that she won't let me escape the room.
"I'm not done yet."
After that she annoyed me too much that I finally snapped.
Thud!
I pushed her to the window while I grabbed her collar.
"THEN WHAT SHOULD I DO!"
I shouted.
"YOU ALREADY KNOW WHAT'S GOTTA HAPPEN RIGHT! YOU ALREADY READ THE NOVEL AND YOU KNOW THAT THE CHILDHOOD FRIEND WILL ALWAYS LOSE NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS!"
Tears fall again through my eyes.
"I KNOW HER SINCE CHILDHOOD! I KNOW WHAT SHE LIKES AND WHAT ARE THE THINGS SHE HATED THE MOST..."
"But the thing is... The only thing I haven't saw since that day we met... Was the smile she shown when she was with him."
"I was jealous... To him... The guy Yuna loves"
After I said those things I calmed down myself and let go of her.
"I'm sorry Senpai... I grabbed you in your collar... Please forgi-"
Suddenly she grabbed me and pulled me into her, and after that I was baffled to what happened...
A kiss.
I was Shocked and Baffled and questioned to myself "WAIT! WHY DID THE SCHOOL FLOWER KISSED ME IN THE LIPS!" or "AM I DREAMING? A NOBODY LIKE ME!?".
Then we fall down to the ground and after a few minute that looks like forever she let go of my lips.
"Are you shocked? A beauty like me that everyone bow down to... Kissed a nobody like you?"
Did she read my mind? But after she said that, I got flustered and slowly nod. She smiled to me
"Because to me... You we're never a nobody, Akito-Kun."
"Huh?"
She said... My name? But she always call me Junior-San?
"Wait... What did you say? I'm not a nobody?"
"Yes. Your not a nobody to me... Because..."
The light of sunset shined the room we were in and said the word that I don't think that anyone will say to me ever again.
"I Love You Akito-Kun. It's not a Confirmation but a Confession."
"EHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH?!?!!?!!?"
This is the beginning of a Childhood Friend after the Ending of another story.
ENDING #001~
