Enjoy!

Volume 2: ReACT

A love triangle tragic ended, yet another comes, and is ready to spread the chaos once again…

The history repeats itself.

Chapter 1: At the hospital

"Urg…"

A black-haired boy groaned as he covered his eyes from the bright sunlight that was coming from the windows. Getting used to it for a while, he removed his hand and opened his bright black eyes. He rubbed his eyes as he sat up from his bed.

He then looked around and started to panic. This… this isn't his room. The walls are a plain shade of white and next to his white bed he was sitting on is a small nightstand with some drawers and a lamp on top of it. On his right side is the window with white curtains, which were flowing slightly as the wind came into the room gently. The wall opposite to him has a door at its left.

He then looked at himself. He's no longer in the black outfit he was in, as he remembered. Instead, the outfit he was wearing right now, which is a long-sleeved shirt with long pants, is pure white. The left sleeve was rolled up, so he could see the visible bandages wrapping around his left arm. There were some bandages wrapping around his neck and legs too.

"W… where am I?" He asked himself.

Just after that, the door opened and a woman. She's black-haired and was wearing a nurse dress. In her hands was a clipboard along with a pen. "Oh, you're awake!"

"Where am I?! Please tell me!"

"You're at the hospital, Ayuno." She answered him. "Please calm down, or else you might get hurt because of the injuries still in healing progress."

"In… a hospital…?" He asked again, but he had calmed down this time. "How did I end up here with these injuries…?" He said as he took a look at his arms.

"Well, a boy with purple hair, whom I assume that is your friend, brought you here along with an injured girl. He said that he was really in a hurry, so we gave you and that girl treatment right away."

"Don't you mean Tarun?!" He nearly shot himself up. "How's she?! Is she alright?"

"Don't worry Ayuno. We were luckily able to save her before it was too late. She was in a bad condition, though…"

"Thank god…"

"Anyway, how are you doing now?"

"Um…" He looked at himself again. "The injuries do hurt me quite badly, but I can handle them…" He then tried to move his body, but whines at the sudden pain rushing through his body.

"Don't move yet!" She said and helped him lying down. "The injury at you belly is still quite serious. It's in very bad condition, so tried not to move for now."

"Okay… thanks."

"Good. Now, I'll get you something to eat. It's lunchtime."

"Thank you again…" He mumbled quietly as the nurse walked out of the room.

"It's nothing. Beside, my job is to take care of my patient." She closed the door, leaving him alone in the room full of thoughts.

Memories started to run through Ayuno's mind again. His beautiful friendship with Tarun and Kokota, his relationship with his ideal girl, them betraying him,… But he especially remembered that night, the sorrowful night when he found out the painful truth. And in that night, he had gone insane, nearly killed himself and his no-longer girlfriend. Although she cheated on him, he still has deep feelings for her. In his mind, she would always be his beautiful and kind girlfriend. And about Kokota, he's mad at this boy for stealing his girl away, but somehow, his heart refuses the truth and continues seeing him as the dear best friend he had always known.

But no matter what, there's nothing left for him now… His friendship, his girlfriend, his best friend, his future…

There's really nothing left.

He had lost them.

Forever.

Okay, I think I'll end this chapter here. Leave a review to tell me what you think and I'll see you again soon.

Bye!
