COTE : Elites War - Oblivion [Hiatus]

The Feeling That Will Be Buried In My Heart Forever

Because of his status as a childhood friend, I was often hesitant to express my emotions. Like, some inquiries haunt me if I really confessed my feelings to him.

He is my best friend, who I have always admired.

Imagine having someone dependable and always by your side; just thinking about it makes my cheeks flush. He's a perfect man; from any angle, I look at him, he doesn't have a single flaw.

He's better than me in every way.

He always has warm eyes for me, comforting words for me, and makes me happy.

He's neither overly cheerful nor overly quiet; he's somewhere in the middle. He's a good listener and can always provide satisfactory answers.

Every time I talk to him, I feel a weight lifted off my shoulders. His black eyes, which I sometimes can't read, always give me a sense of calm.

The years I'd spent with him had made me both comfortable and fearful of losing him. All of this made it difficult for me to express my emotions.

If he leaves, who else will I have by my side?

Just thinking about it makes my heartache.

And lately, there's been a mist of sadness filling his eyes, no, it's not just sadness.

Even though he didn't tell me thoroughly, I could tell he was in pain right now.

I'm not sure what his problems are, but he hasn't been coming to school for a few days.

He frequently refuses phone calls and doesn't even want to see me. It had been nearly a month since he had not attended school.

I didn't know what else to do to get him out of the house, to get him to talk to me, to tell me, and to rely on me.

Matsuo Eiichiro is a special friend of mine, one whom I cherish and adore.

•Matsuo Eiichiro

Someone I'll never be able to express my feelings to.

And today I was compelled to meet with him.

I'm not sure what kind of response he'll give, but I went to his house with tenacity.

It was a beautiful and sunny February 13th when I went to see him.

And, February 14th, Valentine's Day, was a holiday in which girls across the country would give gifts to their beloved.

I was no exception; I wanted to cheer up Eiichiro's heart by giving him chocolate, but my emotions told me to come the day before.

I'm not sure, I just wanted to meet with him today. More accurately, I want to see him right now.

Krieett!!

After I pressed the doorbell, a boy with messy black hair and droopy eyes appeared in front of me.

There was no smile on his face, there was weariness behind his expression.

"Eiichiro-kun? Are you okay?" I asked worriedly, he looked at me and shook his head.

"Come in, I'm sure you're tired after walking all the way here."

Eiichiro looked tired, I didn't know what to say.

When he let me in, I noticed the small living room of this apartment.

Eiichiro has moved around a lot since dropping out of school. I believe he resigned due to his father's financial situation; I heard Matsuo-san was fired from his job.
