Summary: You still make me smile.
Even if you're the main reason why I'm sad.
"What! We're not going out!" said a familiar voice.
"What, MU lang?" said a voice I didn't recognize.
"No!"
Curious, I turned around. It was Lyra, along with some of her friends. I wonder what are they talking about?
"Psst! Here he comes!" said the girl I think whose name is.. Maan.
I sneaked a peek to the 'he' she was talking about. What I saw was a tall thin boy wearing glasses.
Some of the girls, I noticed, were giggling a bit. Confused, I looked at Lyra's face. Was she blushing? Oh.
I get it… But what is this feeling welling up inside me? I can't understand…
Why couldn'twebe together? Why did you choose him? Am I not good enough?
These thoughts filled up my head simultaneously. My friends wondered on why I fell silent. As they pestered me, I sneaked one last glance at Lyra.
She was smiling. Her smile that was as bright as the warm summer sun, had some kind of magic that sent all of my previous thoughts out of my mind. Her smile that was so gentle yet so full of energy for some reason makes me forget all of my worries before.
Except one. The sadness that fills me up didn't go away even one bit.
Why?
Because I now realize that her lovable and enchanting smile is now his, and the least I could do is… just be happy for her.
For finding someone better.
