62C. Special Oneshot: O Sole Mio Pt. 3 (Sakura)

Final part of Sakura's birthday oneshot.

Sakura's POV:

"Heejin-ah, don't be mistaken. I don't really see him that way. He's just a very good friend to me, and nothing more than that. Here's what I'm planning to do in order to prove it. Once you go on a date with him, I'll be there to support you all the way. Don't worry. It's the best thing I can do for him as his best friend. I sincerely wish that both of you would be happy together, once you tell him how you feel. You both deserve it."

Again, these words that I said continued to echo in my mind. I found myself still wondering if I meant everything that I told her. Should I really give you up to her, or pursue these feelings that I held on for so long?

Surely, I know the answer to that question, and yet, I can't do anything about it.

You were right, I truly am a very selfless person. I've lost count on how many times you told me to think of myself as well, as it made you worry about me all the time.

Even now, I'm willing to forsake my own happiness for yours, for my mind dictates that it's the right thing to do.

But for the first time, my heart disagrees, for I had finally known that my bond with you goes beyond the friendship that we have.

After I talked with Heejin, I quickly went home without you. Right now, I can't bear to look at you, for I won't be able to hold back my tears once I do.

As I walked alone, I kept on imagining what we could have been, should I allow myself to be stubborn and tell you what I feel.

I shouldn't let myself drown in sorrow, and instead, I'll try to be happy now that someone else cares about you aside from me.

You like her too, and as your friend for a long time, I need to be glad that you have her at your side.

If only things were that simple, then I wouldn't be feeling like this.

However, I will try to be happy for you, to show you as well as myself that I can endure this pain in my heart.

Once I boarded the train on my way home, it felt like I was on my way to the path I decided to take.

It was a slow journey towards a place where I can escape from all of this.

Looking at the window beside me, I can't help but admire the pleasant view of the city, where I had a lot of fond memories with you. I began to imagine that if we hadn't met, then my life would have felt incomplete without you at my side.

Yes, that's how much you mean to me. Even now, the bond that we share grows every single day we're together.

At the very least, the one thing I won't lose is our friendship, and I should feel content that you won't be gone completely from my life.

The ride towards my home felt shorter than usual. It's because my thoughts are occupied by you, and you alone.

A feeling of uncertainty dwells within me, as I'm unsure how I'm going to repress it.

Once I reached my apartment door, I took a deep breath knowing that today was quite surreal.

I felt drained, as if I don't even have the will to try and eat something beforehand.
