Another Chance
Prologue

"Where are you?"
Ryuu toned down the volume of the stereo inside his car as his cousin's voice resounded inside his car. "I'm close by." Ryuu answered over the speakerphone as he kept his eyes on the road.
"It already ended."
"Hinata," Ryuu sighed, "It's fine."
"She'll be looking for you."
Ryuu chuckled, "I highly doubt that. She's too happy to notice a little detail like me."
"What are you talking about?" Shintani asked. "Come on—"
"I'm already near." Ryuu interrupted, flipping his hand phone off, hanging up on his cousin mid-sentence.
Ryuu had his car rolling to a stop as a crowd of people blocked some part of his way. He slowly maneuvered and then paused as he looked to his right. He watched silently inside his car as a bride in a traditionally long white wedding gown emerged from a parish, and beside her was the groom who looked equally dashing in his matching white tuxedo.
The bride was blushing madly as the crowd howled and cheered at the newlyweds.
Ryuu couldn't help but chuckle tenderly, but along with that chuckle, he felt his heart aching.
Misaki was now officially married.
The girl he had loved for as long as he could remember is now officially someone else's. He can't fight for her anymore. He had to accept the cold reality. But seeing her radiant smile, Ryuu couldn't help but think that maybe he made the right choice.
"Be happy," He murmured, stepping on the gas and leaving the celebration without a backward glance.
As he drove away from the happy scene, he could feel his eyes watering and his chest tightening. He gripped the steering wheel, trying to push back the tears.
Misaki's cheerful smile before he drove away flashed into his mind once again.
Always.
He had always thought that he would be the one to make her smile like that. He never thought that someone else would replace him by her side...
If only they could go back in time.
If only he had introduced himself to her earlier.
If only he didn't follow his parents' rules.
If only he had followed his heart.
If only—
If only.
