Chapter 41: Tangled Emotions
Hikari sat by the window, her gaze fixed on the raindrops cascading down the glass. It had been weeks since she had seen Eren and Youi. The distance between them felt heavier than ever, and her heart longed for their presence.
She reached for her phone, contemplating whether to call or send a message. But hesitation held her back. Fear whispered in her ear, reminding her of the uncertainties that lay ahead. What if their love couldn't withstand the trials of time and distance?
As the rain intensified outside, Hikari's internal storm matched its intensity. She felt torn between her desire to hold on and her fear of losing what they had. The conflicting emotions tangled within her, making it difficult to find clarity.
Memories flooded her mind—their laughter echoing through crowded cafes, stolen glances during late-night conversations, and the warmth of their embraces. Those moments felt like distant echoes now, fading with each passing day.
Taking a deep breath, Hikari decided it was time to confront her fears. She unlocked her phone and began typing a heartfelt message. She poured her emotions onto the screen, expressing her love, her fears, and her longing for their connection.
