Preview

Kei's eyes widened and he gasped, not because of what Jin said but because he saw a teary pair of beautiful dark blue orbs. Looking at him. Looking at them, Kei and Jin.

Jin knew it is Hikari who caught them. "I love you Kei—" finally, she said it and a smirk curved on her face.

A tear rolled out from Hikari's eye. Because I want to. I want you Kei. I love you Kei. She heard it all. She saw how Jin kissed Kei and how he kissed her back. For no apparent reason, she wanted to run away but she just can't. She got frozen from where she stands.

Kei immediately pushed Jin who is on top of him. "Hikari—" is all that he can utter.

'Why?'

Hikari stood frozen. Every part of her body felt numb and limp. She just can't feel her knees, as if they just left her body. She wanted to scream from the top of her lungs, scream until her eardrums broke. She wanted to nag Kei Takishima and slammed the thought to his face that he's an every inch pathetic – hormonal – whiz – jerk boyfriend. But she just can't, seeing the two of them in that very obscene act seemed to absorb every strength inside of her.

"Why?" she inhaled deep, trying to pacify herself.

"Hikari" Kei can't hold it any longer. He has to do something. Slowly walking towards her but Jin grabbed his arms but he swings it for release and continued walking forward to Hikari. He can't lose her like this. 'No', he thought. They're too good for this.

Hikari needed to be rational and think clearly, impulsiveness won't give her any help in this situation. But too late, anger and jealousy is inch by inch gnawing her mentality. When Kei reached her, she instinctively slapped his face.

"WHAT. WAS. THAT." Hikari asked ferociously and eyed Jin sharply. Jin's brows creased but a little smirk curved up on the side of her mouth.

"Hikari – I'm sorry." Kei cupped his girlfriend's face but Hikari shoved it away. But Kei grabbed this time her hands she shoved it over and over but he didn't let go. "Please, it's not what you think it is—"

"Ha! Not what I think?" Hikari's eyes widened on what she heard from Kei, she wanted to this guy another slap on the face. "Yeah right! I haven't thought of it yet. But I saw IT already!" She glared again to Jin. "I saw and heard everything!"

"She just appeared from out of nowhere. She kissed—"

"Stop." Kei was startled as he saw the tears starting to flow out of Hikari's deep blue orbs.

"Hikari—"

"I SAID STOP!" she said in a high toned voice. Reddened face, Hikari instinctively ran away. Kei was about to run after her but Jin gripped his arms.

"Kei—" she eyed him intently. "Stay, please." She looked at Kei as if begging to stay with her, to choose her over Hikari. She have come this far, she took all the risk and all other options just to be with this man that she has been silently loving. "I love you--, I need you, please don't leave."

"Love." Kei said coldly, giving Jin a sharp look. "What do you know about it Yamada-san?" Jin gasped. It wasn't supposed to be this way, she was about to win Kei. The plan is to steal him from Hikari, it was never on her plan to make Kei resent her nor to start from scratch again.

"I did that because of you—"tears are starting to form on her eyes. "I want you to realize that I'm way better than her. I did that because I'm so damn desperate to get you. I did that because no matter what I do you'll never notice me as long as you're both together." Jin breathed deep. She never thought she could stoop this low. All her life, she's not the type of girl who begs anyone, she always get what she wanted. She never gets teary eyed in front of anyone. She never loses in front of anyone. "Kei—"

Kei is still staring blankly. Expressionless. Stoic. Cold. He wanted to yell but he cannot. His head is spinning wildly. 'Did this just really happen?' he thought. He took a deep breath and cursed. How can he be such a weakling to this kind of situation. The smart – rich – sought after Kei Takishima, was caught kissing under a tree with the newest SA member because of he just can't resist. He cursed again. He was caught off – guarded. He should have known this would happen.

He turn away from Jin and started walking. He needed to find Hikari and explain everything. He needs to apologize. He just can't let this kind of situation defeat him. Ruin their relationship. But Jin embraced him from behind, tears falling from her eyes. Yes, she is crying.

"Kei please— don't leave. Plaase choose me. Im much better than her. And I can do all what she can do. Please just choose me." Jin was desperately sobbing. She needed to win. "I'll be good, I'll do whatever you wanted me to do. I can even give you myself—"

"Let me go."

"What? Kei—"

"Yamada – san, LET. ME. GO."

"But Kei please—"

"I said let go. You disgust me."

You disgust me. The words echoed to Jins mind like a roller coaster loop. She just got dumped by the great Kei Takishima.

Because I want to. I want you Kei. I love you Kei.

The words repeated endlessly on Hikari's head. Hearing those words and seeing how they kissed pained her like hell. She never felt like this before. For the first time in her life, she felt alone. She wanted to find Akira and cry in her arms but doing so could just make a big commotion. And she wouldn't want that to happen. She never thought Kei would do this. She shut her eyes, tears continuing to flow and she let the silence and darkness of the school gym cradled her until it puts her to slumber.

The downpour was heavy after that scorching afternoon. Nobody knew it would rain so all of the students were stranded on their class rooms waiting for the rain to stop. The heavy loud rolls of thunder woke Hikari who's hiding silently inside the dark corner of the gym. She opens her then puffy eyes and look at her surrounding. It's dark. Yes. It is better to stay there for a while and contemplate on things.

'Takishima..' she began 'Why? How could you do this?' Hikari is crying again. She doesn't want to cry anymore but her tears are betraying her. She gasped when a light emanated from the door. The gym's lights are all out and it's raining hard so the inside was dark. She can't see clearly who the silhouette person was. It is not wearing a skirt, so she is every inch sure that it's a man, and he's all dripping wet from the rain and is panting.

"Are you there?" the man asked, catching for breath. Tears flowed more from her eyes as she heard the man's inquiry. She can't be mistaken. That voice only belongs to only one man, the man who just hurt her to the core of her heart. Kei Takishima. "Hikari are you there?" Kei stepped inside the dark gym, his instinct can't make him wrong. He can never be wrong. "Hikari.. Hikari." He searched the place but found nothing. He was about to leave the place when he heard sobs coming from the inner most dark corner of the gym. Just as he thought, his instinct can't betray him. He found her. And he'll do everything to convince and win her back.

Kei walks on slowly to the dark corner where Hikari was. As he comes closer, he can hear her silently crying and it hit him like hell. If only he could turn back that time, he would have been more aware of Jin Yamada's hidden agenda. He should have stick more to Hikari's side. Kei shook his head, its too late for all of "should have's" and "would have's" what important is "what will be".

He was about to speak when Hikari shifted and spoke. "What are you doing here?"

"Hikari.. Gomenasai."

Hikari stands from where she is sitting and completely faces the lad "I'm not asking for an apology. I don't wanna hear it." she said between her sobs. "Am I not enough for you?" Kei was dumbstruck to her question.

"You are always enough for me." Kei started. "Since we were young, the moment I knew and was sure of myself it was you that I will love, you have always been enough for me." Hikari was about to cut Kei cut her first. "Look, what you saw and what happened earlier is none of my likings. She kissed me—"

"And you kissed her back!" Hikari said turbulently. Her body is trembling with anger and jealousy and as if any moment she would pass out from the emotions she's feeling. "I saw everything. And you can't deny it. I saw the way you kissed her was just like what you're doing with mine. What were you thinking?! What's gotten into you?!"

Without a blink of an eye, Kei Takishima grabbed Hikari's shoulders and twirled her in an embrace. "I'm really, really sorry." Kei's face buried on her shoulders, Hikari tried to let go but Kei just hug her tighter. "I know, such a pathetic of me to be caught in such situation, call me irrational, call me a jerk, call me demon or whatever names you wanted to call me, you can hate me but please Hikari please, don't let us end like this. We're too good for this."

A warm liquid flowed between Hikari's neck and shoulder. And yes. Kei Takishima cried.
