Teardrops
Dammit. How could I do something so stupid?
That's what I thought the day I broke Tezuka's arm.
I imagined her face. How angry Rina would be at me.
The sadness. The tears. I couldn't bear it.
That night, in my room, I just couldn't take it anymore.
Rina was everything to me. She was the one I love.
And because of one careless mistake, it was all ruined.
I fell into my bed, grabbed my pillow, and started crying.
Dammit. Why?
Why did I have to do something so stupid?
Why did I broke Tezuka's arm?
I didn't want to break her heart, but my thirst for winning wasn't enough.
How could I let it take over me?
As I continued to sob, my phone rang. I wiped away my tears and picked it up. A text message from Rina. I took a deep breath. Time for the moment of truth:
Dear Keigo,
I know you're probably thinking about what happened today. You might be happy that you won against my brother, but a little bit disappointed that you really didn't get a real match against him. So you're probably wondering my thoughts on it. Well, let me say it.
I.. understand about the match.
Somehow, I knew it was going to happen. That my brother would be so stupid enough that he would break his arm again.
If there was anyone who put his team ahead of himself, it was him.
So wherever you are, I hope you get this message. And to show that, I have to tell you something. Since we meet, I realized something:
I love you.
Rina
I stared at my phone. I kept looking at the last three words. I was speechless.
She accepts the match. She loves me.
What I thought had happened, turned out to be the opposite.
I then wrote a message back to her and sent it:
Rina,
I love you too.
Keigo
I smiled before I put my phone away and fell asleep.
And I dreamed of me kissing Rina.
