3 Vol 1 : Ch 3 - Friendship is over?

After reading Rei long message, Vin sigh and sighing again.

"See Rei, I'm really right and you really got hurt because I didn't feel the same way as what you feels towards me but I'm really sorry, I can't really force myself to be with you. It's not that you're not pretty and smart but you really are but then if you're talking about us and to our relationship between us, nothing gonna change between our relationship except for a friendship only. Yeah, I know it already that you have a crush on me during our High School years but I didn't mind it. There one time my friend Lan, you know him right? He tease me and ask why not try to confess to you since your over heels towards me, not only him but some of our friends. So listening to their advice, I want to try it but I can't, I really really can't do it and only sorry would be the right answer for both of us. Sorry Rei and I really didn't think that we will become a couple and I think we're not a perfect to be with."

"By saying that one, it's like you're disgusted to me and for your information I'm not that dumb to over heels towards you, I mean try to look at the mirror, yes, you're really an average not a handsome one. I have a crush on you only because your smart. For me having a crush is like having an admiration only. Vin, don't forgot that we're still teenagers that time and it's only a puppy love, so in other words were still young that time to know the real meaning of being in a relationship and please don't forget that we don't really talk that much."

"Yeah, yeah I know but crush is the start and the beginning of changing the friendship into a relationship and I'm sure you know that Rei"

"Not applied for me you know, because I only see you as a friend and that's all"

"Tell me honestly Rei, do you really want us to change our relationship to each other from being friends into a love relationship ?"

"You want me to tell the truth?"

"Yes"

"Before I tell you the truth, answer me first."

"As long as I can answer it, so what is it?"

"Vin, what if you confess to me during that time (2nd Year of High School), so what do you think my answer would be?"

Vin message her confidently "Of course it would be a yes because you have a crush on me during that time"

"I see, a very confident of you Vin but it's only you who think that one. Have you ever thought about the pros and cons if we really become a couple that time? Yes I have a crush on you since you're smart but if you confess me during that time, I assure you that you will be get busted for sure since both of us we're still young during that time and most of all I'm not in love with you especially I'm a person who never violates my parents rule.

Vin got speechless but it didn't stop his ego and he retorted back to her.

"Please Rei, can you stop pretending that you're alright? I know you're in pain but please tell me the truth maybe my decision for being sorry will be change into something."

"I already tell you the truth awhile ago and I'm not pretending because I'm really alright after all. Well, I got hurt because of your words but it's not because you feel the same way instead I got hurt because it comes from you, who's my very first male friend."

"Rei, do you really want our friendship will be going into nothing?"

'I can't really understand with him now and I don't know if his the Vin I know' looking the time from her phone 'geez, I need to finished it soon or else I will be late from work.'

"Vin I don't really understand why you become like this but if you really want us our friendship to be over then it's up to you. If you know and I already said it many times that you're my first male friend and I want to cherish it but if you really want to get rid of it then go ahead, I won't stop you and it's your decisions and most of all I'm not going to die because I lose you as my friend. By the way, I need to prepare myself or else I will be late for work. Bye"

"Wait, Rei" he want to stop Rei for signing out but it's too late since he heard a new notification sound and a pop up that your friend Rei signing out. 'Geez Rei, why you didn't let me finish first. See, you're really hurt. Why you didn't like to admit it and just keep denying instead?'

Since Rei already signing out, Vin left a message to her since he knows that Rei will be signing in again and only his thinking since Rei will not signing in at this moment..

"Rei, I'm not really going to stop our friendship. I know you've been hurt and I know that you're in love with me because it's been almost seven years passed since 2nd year of High School but until now you still don't have a boyfriend or being in a relationship with. By that action, you're just waiting to me right? Let's meet up and talk about it personally. This is my number, contact me after reading this. Sorry if I hurt you but I think we need to talk personally and not with the chat. Talking personally is more useful than chatting since we can't see our expressions and can't tell if were both being honest."

After leaving that message, he just chatting his other friends and exploring Rei SNS account, like a stalker, every time he sees her picture he smile but every time he sees her with another man without knowing the identity of the man and his relationship to Rei, his expression change from smiling into a pouting one.

Being angry and upset of it he sign out from his account then prepare himself since he also have a work.

That night, he excitedly signing in because he taught Rei already read it but to his knowing, he got it wrong because he got a big miscalculation about her. After signing in, he check the message but still unseen to Rei and then realize that Rei signing in last 10 hours ago and that's what's after their chat..

He didn't mind it at all, but everyday and every night he check it again and again but the message he left still unseen to her, most of all it's already been a month since he left that message. Because of this, he got upset and in order to release it, he go to a nearest bar and now drinking to release his emotions.

After 2 hours of drinking, he feels that someone helping him getting up, so he look up and it's a lady but then he taught it's Rei and mistaken that lady as her..

"You're finally here, what took you so long Rei"

"Sir you got it wrong and I'm not that person you mention, I'm just here helping my friend and I notice that you're drinking alone, so after dropping my friend back, I got here again and check if you're still here. And yeah, you're still here, so I'm glad that I got back and it's still not safe here. I can help you Sir since it's still not too late for me" she have another meaning and the truth, she's only here at the bar because her group of friends notice him and got inform by them that Vin was here and drinking alone, so she hurriedly left and go to this bar. Then her group of friends were really right because when she entered in the bar, she saw Vin and indeed his already drunk.

'Vin are you an idiot? It's already been 4 years since I know you but that woman is still in your heart and now you just mistook me of her. Well why not use of it since it's really a big chance for me, right?'

"Rei you're finally here" without blinking an eye he hugged her tightly and release then said to her "you know Rei, I really like you and I really love you. I know I have many ex girlfriends but it's only to get rid of my feelings towards you and to make you jealous but still it's not working so please here me out. You're always in my heart, Rei, do you understand me?" Before waiting for her reply, Vin forward his distance to his and touch her face before giving a passionate kiss.
