Now three days had passed and Suoh didn't show up, not in school or in the student's Council room. Nokoru was waiting for him outside as usual. Since Suoh had left, Nokoru waits for him in front of the building. He wiped the sweat from his forehead by the back of his hand. It was a sunny day.

"Kaichou! …… You're still waiting? It passed 9:00 now he won't come back today too." Akira was worried about his Kaichou. He has been standing there for hours now.

"He'll come! … Because he promised me Akira." the sadness appeared in his voice as he spoke. "He promised that he'll protect me … that's why he'll come." Akira felt pity for Nokoru, it was the third time he said that and Suoh would never come back.

Akira looked at the blond boy suddenly when the later rest his hand on his forehead and closed his eyes, his body swaying slightly.

"Kaichou? … Are you ok?" when Akira asked, Nokoru answered him by collapsing down on the floor. "KAICHOU!"

Nokoru rested on his soft cool king-sized bed. His head hurts and his body was weak. He felt the need to vomit. Soft hand started caressing his face gently he could feel them as he started to regain consciousness. He opened his beautiful blue eyes slowly hoping that that hand belonged to Suoh. He looked at the one who sat beside his bed … and he was right.

"Suoh!" he took Suoh's hand from his cheek resting it on his chest instead still holding it. Suoh blushed and looked away.

"I know that you'd come, Suoh!" Nokoru smiled at him and Suoh turned to him with a glare.

"What have you been thinking? Staying there for hours under the sun like that?" Akira had told him that their Kaichou used to wait for him like that for the three passed days, and he felt guilty for that.

"Sorry!…" Nokoru apologized then he grasped Suoh's shirt pulling him down into a soft kiss. Suoh closed his eyes at first returning Nokoru's gentle kisses forgetting everything around him, even himself, but suddenly Suoh broke the kiss.

"I can't do this …" Suoh said and Nokoru looked strangely at him.

"What do you mean?" Nokoru slowly sat up on his bed staring at Suoh's eyes.

"I told you before … it's over between us." Suoh reminded him that they already broke up and Nokoru gasped and tried to protest.

"b-but Suoh … that was--"

"That doesn't mean that I won't fulfill my promise … you're still my One and I'd always protect you no matter what happens between us." Suoh stood up ready to leave but before he did he looked down at Nokoru coldly.

"The doctor said you have to rest in your bed for few days … so I wish that you would obey the doctor's advice … Ijyuin and I will take care of the council's duties." When Suoh closed the door behind him Nokoru hugged his pillow and cried.

After two days, Nokoru returned to the school, fully recovered from the sickness. He thought it was good to return finally to his normal life and to his duties.

… But then he realized that he wanted to stay ill lying on his bed, because of Suoh's latest behavior. Suoh suddenly felt very interested in Nagisa. He would always finish his work fast just in order to go and see her … well! Maybe that what Nokoru wanted from the beginning, but the worst was that every time Nokoru tried to get close to the brunette the later would reject him and push him away, repeating that it's already over between the two of them … but today he said something that made Nokoru felt like someone had just stabbed him right in the heart.

"I love Nagisa-san … Kaichou!" Suoh stated as he pushed Nokoru away from him gently.

"W- What?" Nokoru looked confused at Suoh.

"I love her … and I don't want to hurt her if she saw us like this, so stop molesting me, Kaichou!" Suoh said before he went back to his own desk.

'Molesting? … ' Nokoru was shocked at Suoh's word. This word concussed him. 'How dare he say that to me?' Nokoru lowered his head in anger.

'If I didn't make you come back to me…

If I didn't make you pay the price of making me lonely

If I didn't make you apologize because you left.

I won't be 'me'.

If I didn't make you come crying for my forgiveness.

If I didn't make you say that living without my love was madness.

If I didn't make you regret walking every step far away from me.

I won't be 'me'.

'Then I won't be … Imonoyama Nokoru.'
