CHAPTER 1
Rein s POV
Whaaaaa! It s raining!
Does he have an umbrella? Should I fetch him? I wonder to myself and maybe if I did, he'll be happy and
Ah! That s thoughtful of you Rein-chan. You are the best chuu~
Kyaaa! Off to his school then!
I was on my Loveland when someone tapped my shoulder, "Rein-san someone is looking for you," Mirlo said, my co-worker here at Hime Clothing.
"Someone is looking for me?," I asked to clarify and she just nods to affirm
"Do you know who?"
"Hmmm," Mirlo started as if trying to remember something, "I felt like I've seen him before but I can't put my finger on it."
I wonder, who would it be? Wait! What if it was him? "Ah, Rein, I got worried if you have an umbrella and I was thinking of going home together if you don t mind of course"
"Alright, I'll be going now. Bye Mirlo-san" I said to her then excitedly walked out of our office.
Anyway, I'm Rein Taiyou, I have aquamarine-colored eyes and a waist-length light blue hair that was ponytailed at the bottom. A 23-year-old woman who loves dresses and girly stuff.
I'm currently at Hime Clothing - my working place and working as a fashion designer and a part-time model.
When I was finally at the lobby of our office, I only saw the guard and no one else
"Rein" I heard a familiar voice and turned to that voice. Oh! I thought it was him. I wish that my face did not reflect a disappointed expression because it will be too rude.
"Seems you've mistaken me for someone else," he said, a sarcastic remark, if I'd have said so
"Ah? Eh? Kinda I admitted When did you come back?" I asked trying to change the awkward atmosphere around us. Can't help it, there are so many things that have changed ever since that day.
"Yesterday," he stated, "You're the first one among our friends to know"
"That so?" I told him lamely. Then silence, no one spoke for a minute or two.
"Wanna have some coffee?" he asked, breaking the awkward silence.
"Sorry, there's something I must do" Same old lame excuse but now, it was true.
"Can't you do it sometime later?" he pleaded Well
I was thinking of some excuse when I saw the wall clock hanging up above the door of our building, my eyes widen, and I panic mentally. "Oh no! I need to go! Sorry," I started but then stopped when I saw him looking at the same wall clock
"Ah! So, you re going to him?" he accused.
"Yeah," I admitted again, "Then, I'll be going now." I turned my back and was ready to go but then,
"I love you Rein" he said quietly yet enough for me to hear. My eyes widen. It's not that I wasn't aware of his feelings. His voice was firm and sincere yet it also sounded like he was pleading and scared. It was like the first time he confessed and that moment was also the time when everything fell apart Just like his confession, I still answered the same answer I gave back then, "I m so sorry Shade-kun. I can't return those feelings of yours and I don t think I will ever be able to answer them because Bright-sama is the only one that I will love forever"
"Didn't you two broke up?" he asked desperately
"Yeah, but I m willing to wait for him," I declared, the voice was firm, "and besides we didn't break up just because he didn't love me anymore."
"But-"
I didn't let him finish, "I'm sure that there is someone who will love you the way or more than the way I love Bright-sama." I exclaimed and walked out of the scene.
Why can t you see that she loves you I bitterly thought to myself

Bright's POV
Ahh! It s raining.
Does she have an umbrella? I want to walk her to her apartment but I forgot to bring an umbrella with me. Oh well, I guess I'll have to wait for the rain to stop, and I hope she was able to go home safe and sound. I stared at the dark sky, tonight's rain is as heavy as that day.
The day when I broke up with her
2 years ago
"Rein-chan there's something I want to tell you."
"What is it Bright-sama," she said smiling sweetly.
'I wish you wouldn't do that or else I'll lose the conviction I've made' I thought to myself
"Bright-sama?" she asked while waving her right hand in front of me, "Are you okay? Is there something bothering you?"
"There is"
"What is it? Maybe I can help?" she looks at me with the ever so innocent eyes of hers
"Let's break up, Rein-chan" I mumble, audible enough for her to hear
"Wha?" she looks and sounds puzzled, "Did I do something wrong? Do you not love me anymore?" she panicked as tears were slowly falling from her eyes
"Well..." I was hesitant to say the truth
"Could you please tell me the reason?" I could feel her voice was shaking yet it was still trying to be strong, "tell me, please tell me" she pleaded.
"No, Rein-chan," still hesitating to tell the truth, "You didn't do anything wrong, you were perfect just the way you are and I love you," I paused for a while to breathe. "Well, I've decided to enroll in a law school and I'll be busy then and I'm afraid that I can't give time and attention you deserve."
"Bright-sama," she said, her voice sounded sad yet so relieved, "I thought you didn't love me anymore but that's okay, I understand because I'm very much aware that being a lawyer is not easy"
"No, Rein-chan, you don t understand!" I exclaimed, "I don't want you to get sad, to get insecure, and to make you feel less important so I m setting you free so you could find someone else to love you more than I love you."
"Is that so?" she asked calmly, "I understand. It's over then"
It's over. I choose to do this yet why am I disappointed? Is it because she accepted it easier than I thought?
I was taken back when she held my hands and stared into my eyes, "I'm only accepting this break up for you to concentrate to your studies" she declared, "Anyway, I don't care if there is someone who could love me more than you since my heart beats only for you."
My eyes widen at her declaration, and immediately embrace her with all I've got. "Rein-chan," I wanted to tell her that what I've said earlier is a lame joke but I can't. I only want the best for her and I don't want her to feel guilty when she fell for someone who has enough time for her. But hey, I m a lucky bastard to have her.
I was called out of my reverie when I heard a voice, "Bright-sama!" I can't be mistaken, it's her voice. I quickly turned where the voice came from and there she is. She was there at the gate of the law school, trying to catch her breath while holding firmly to her blue umbrella that I gave her on our 3rd date 4 years ago.
"Ahh! Why are you here?" I asked running to her. Her eyes widen when she saw me running in the rain.
"Ahh! I came here hoping to share this umbrella with but you-" she stopped her wailing when I hugged her firmly. I guess I am a lucky bastard.
Rein's POV
"I'm sorry," I heard him though it was said with a really low voice.
"EH? What are you apologizing for?" I panicked
He tightens the hug that was already tight, I don't know if it was possible but he's doing it.
"I'm sorry for breaking up with you," hurt is visible, audible rather to his voice, "I love you"
I hugged him back, "I love you too, but it's okay. I understand"
"No, you don't deserve me." My eyes widen when I heard that. I let go of the umbrella and I tried to escape his embrace because I'm scared to hear what he'll say next.
"Stop, even though you push me away, I'll still come back for you because I'll only love you so it was pretty useless," I stubbornly said, "and besides you don't have the right to tell me what to do!"
"I know," he told me and let go of me. Ahh! He just let go of me just a few seconds ago but I already miss his touch. It's bad, I'm being greedy.
"Even though I didn't deserve someone like you, please let's get back together again"
Bright's POV
"Even though I didn't deserve someone like you, please let's get back together again," I said firmly while looking into her eyes.
"No" That's it! My luck is over!
I released her from my embrace. I felt my body lose all the strength it had. "Is that so?" I asked my eyes suddenly felt like burning. Ah! Not good, there's no one to blame except me.
"No, we won't get back together" she declared then avoid looking at me, "Well, not until you become a lawyer"
I guess she wants to- What? Not until I become a lawyer? And not because there's someone else?
"I said I won't become your girlfriend until you became a lawyer" she explained further when she saw confusion in my face.
I let my feelings control me and captured her lips. I kissed her like there is no tomorrow. Tongues were battling for dominance and it was the most passionate kiss we ever did. We let go of each other involuntarily since we almost forgot that breathing is an essential thing to do so.
"Hey! I said we will not get back together until you become a lawyer, and that means no kissing! Only hugging and holding hands!" she teased then her eyes reflected understanding, "I ve already waiting for 2 years so waiting for a couple of years isn't that hard," she said assuring me
"Achoo~" we both sneeze.
Ahh! Why do we have to make a scene in the middle of the rain?
Rein panicked, "What if you get sick? Then it'll addend the years I needed to wait. Let's go," she joked then pulled me inside the building of the school
I'm a super lucky bastard.
Dear Lord, what did I do to deserve this girl? But I'd make sure to treasure her as long as I live

Things ended up smoothly between Bright and Rein. So smooth that they didn't notice, someone, in the middle of the rain not too far from them and little they know, he also saw the whole scene
