Being alone is actually not something scary. There is something scarier than that, it's being hated by the one you love. For her, who already used to be alone since elementary school, it's something like breakfast.
It's not that she doesn't stand out, but it's just that she is too different from others. The teal pig tailed hair, always carrying book and always silent. They avoid her, not even try to talk, just like she exist yet not exist. If only this much, she could bear it.
But everything gets worse when entering High school, the bullying begins. People who think her as an eyesore are either hit her, tore her book, hide her shoes or even splash water at her. Other students, who watch it, don't raise a voice. To be more exactly they didn't care or not want to get themselves involved. "Why should I care? It's none of my business, it's not like she has any relation to me", something like that. For them who bullied her think it as some stress reliever. She keeps telling herself "Just a little longer, there is the end for everything".
As the 2nd year begins she starts to realize that she has grown feelings towards a boy one year above her. His name is Kaito, the 3rd year student. Ever since the day she meet him at library, she experience something which she never experience before. An emotion called "love". Somehow the other party also attached to her. For Miku who rarely talk, it's her first time to talk so long.
He is kinda funny and talkative. At first she was either nodding or just say "yes" or "no". But gradually she starts to learn more about how to socialize. It is him who teaches her. Since the day she hangs out with him, the bullying decreased. Some people also start noticing her and talk to her. Little by little her loneliness vanishes. "It's all thanks to him", she thinks. But upon noticing the fact she is more open now, she also realize a new emotion called "fear" grow inside her. She doesn't know what this "fear" is or even know what cause it to grow inside her. She just knows … it attached to her not long after "love" grow.
The weeks turn to months, without she realizes she has become a "Prisoner of Love" for letting the "love" keep growing inside her. Lately she keep feel unstable when he is near her. Her heart keeps beating crazily, her face giving a red signal. She knows … she no longer could bear it. It's now or never.
She gathers all her courage and confesses to him. To her surprise, her confession is replied within one second. "Okay!" is an answer which make the Love seed inside her bloom. It's bloom beautifully, decorating the Garden of her life and her heart. "I finally released from this chain!" she think it happily.
Since they are couple now, they become more intimate than before. Though she laugh at how he acts as her boyfriend. Sometimes he will send her a message, claiming that he needs her help. But it turns out that he sends it hoping she will rush to rooftop which turn he only want to ask her for a kiss. She will laugh after knowing it. She know it, yet she gladly play along.
It's become some kind of code to them. "Its urgent! I need you now" meaning Kaito is asking Miku for a kiss, while "My skins need to cool down" means she wants him to hug her. The first time they use this code, they laugh at each other. Thinking of how silly it is. But they enjoy using these codes. Its sounds like their couple life become more interesting in this way.
Walk home together after school become their daily routine, even though she now has a lot of friends. But still … she could be truly happy when she is with him. No one else, no one would. They hold hands and walk home together. In her head some thoughts always popped up, "I hope Mr Time will stop his job just for seconds". Well at least her wish is half-come true. She realize, Kaito always slowing his footsteps purposely, so they could spend more time. She gladly plays along with it, slowing her footsteps.
"It's getting cold lately", he said
"Yeah it is" she replied
"Needs to cool down your skins?"
Small red signal gathering in her face, he is just too straightforward and blunt. There is too much people around them now.
"N-n-not now!"
"Aww come on, it won't hurt"
"no is no!"
"Fine ... Fine …"
Her head keep looking down; don't even dare to raise it up. He has kiss and hug her couple of times, but it's just still too much for her. Doing it in front of so many people is just too much for her. Well it's not like he didn't realize it, if she didn't keep looking down, perhaps she will see his face is also giving a red signal.
"See you tomorrow!" he said to her while waving his hand.
She replied by waving her hand. She went inside her house, the house is empty and silence. She gives a little sigh for the situation of her house.
"I think it's only you who never change"
She walks upstairs, open the door to her room and quickly throw her body on the bed, hugging the pillow with leeks pattern. The red signal keeps travelling back to her face whenever she remembers him asking about it. Giving a small giggling, her garden of life is too beautiful. Thanks to new "Utopia" she found, she no longer needs the old "Utopia". Her sight directed towards the black punk jacket and punk clothes hanging on the back of her door. No one ever knows what her old "Utopia" was, including Kaito. Only she know it, she used it in past to relieve herself from loneliness. But right now, she no longer needs it. She sits up on her bed while still hugging her pillow.
"Sorry, but I no longer need you anymore, bye bye"
