Oh God… this is really getting more complicated than I could have imagined. I'm actually a little angry now, but you'll read why.
Two weeks passed. Len, who was quite bad at hiding his emotions, became closer friends with Kaito. He didn't know why, but it felt better to support them. Len loved Miku. It was natural for him to want her to be happy.
Miku and Kaito often spent time together, watching movies at home. And this was the worst period for Len. Love was still an unknown feeling for him. The first time is always hard.
And after finally getting Facebook, just because of his friends' constant chattering and whining, he did something that most people wouldn't do. But he didn't regret it.
Len: I love you.
That would start a long chain reaction that caused both happiness and anger. And it started with a small confession. No one knew how it would end.
"Oh… come on, please? Why does this tram have to be so slow? I will miss the train!" Len silently muttered under his breath.
The tram slowly stopped near the train station and Len impatiently waited for an old man to get off the tram with the speed of 1 step per minute. He quickly jumped off and ran to the terminal and was met by an angry mother, Lenka. After a quick scolding, they got onto the train together, on the way to Len's brother, Rinto.
When they arrived, Len's father Rei took them to their hotel and Len was eager to see his brother again. Rinto could be quite irritating, but he was a great brother.
The following days, they went out in the city and did a lot of things, including walking around a lake, 15 kilometers without pause and going on a small boat-sightseeing-trip. And while walking the long way around the lake, Len began feeling the love inside him again. So, he recalled that he usually searched for lilac flowers with more or less than four petals when he was small. Everyone believed that you could wish for something then. And so he did, and after a small while, he found a flower with five petals. Wishing that his love would end happily, he smiled. Only minutes after that, they discovered that a bird had decided to poop on his shirt.
The second night was depressing for Len. He kept asking Rinto if he was ugly, too cute and not handsome or too short, even if he knew that love was not about looks. Rinto commented that Len could never be sexy. And another brotherly fight started. But later, he said to Len that girls do prefer guys taller than them most of the time. However, she didn't deserve him if she did think that way. That made him feel so much better.
The day when Len would return home came. They said farewell and Len, Lenka and Rei went onto the train. Len mostly surfed on Rei's iPad or played on his 3DS. And another feeling washed over him. There was something he needed to do.
He logged in on Facebook and typed a long message to Miku. About how he felt, and that he wanted her to be happy. After she replied, everything felt better. As if the heavy chains on his heart finally dissolved into nothingness.
"I am sorry, because I can't return your feelings. Gomenne, Len."
And he didn't feel sad at all. It felt so good. He felt free. Everything was solved now. Kaito and Miku would be happy, and he would not feel anything more. He didn't need to play matchmaker anymore either.
But, when the new week started, everything went wrong. Everything. Len didn't think that anything could get worse.
"WTF KAITO!" Len almost shouted as the anti-virus delivered another 'We have deleted an infected file'.
Kaito had sent him a virus file via Dropbox. Being the computer-freak and all. But Len spent quite much time in front of the computer too, so he quickly Shift-deleted the file, left the shared folder and took a deep breath. However, his anti-virus kept deleting an infected file, while Dropbox kept on recreating it. Oh God how he hated both Kaito and the Dropbox Cache Folder now.
Luckily, the Dropbox seemed to clear the cache and the anti-virus stopped rampaging around, delivering irritating messages. And that was the bad thing of the week, Len thought.
So why did this have to happen, only three days after? For the first time in months, Len felt his body shaking in anger.
"I thought that we agreed that we would be friends?
You sent Kaito an SMS telling him that I am with another guy! How could you! I thought that we were friends!"
Len didn't know how to answer first. He stared at his iPhone display and then typed in an answer.
"No, I did not. Why would I? I haven't even had contact with Kaito since lunch. And aren't you able to see the telephone number? I did not do it."
He quickly got onto Facebook. Maybe this site wasn't so useless sometimes… He had to contact Kaito.
Len: What is happening? Miku is really mad at me now…
Kaito: Someone sent me a SMS saying that she was with another guy. And that person said that he was Len. He had a hidden phone number.
Len: This is really dumb. Why would I tell you that I was Len, but still have a hidden phone number? Aren't you able to return the call?
Kaito: Apparently not.
Len: Wait a little, I'll go Google it.
And so started the search for the culprit. This love triangle could only get more complicated. Much to Len's surprise, Kaito broke up with Miku. Just because of this? He said that he liked her but… that he needed to get things more stable first. Len thought that it was very, very strange.
But he was angered too. Someone was using his name for destroying other people's happiness! That was unacceptable. He needed to track this hidden phone number. So, he searched on Google and found that you could pay to track a hidden phone number. He thought that it was dumb, but he told Kaito that.
Why couldn't everything just end happily? He hardly cared about love more anyway. But he didn't want all three of them to be sad.
"I'm sorry Len. I was just so frustrated. That person said that he was Len, so I thought that… I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"
And after a small while, Miku called him. They had a long talk about everything, mostly trying to figure out who the culprit was. But Len didn't want to tell her what Kaito had told him. She wanted everything to return to normal after this. He thought otherwise.
