The Road Not Taken [1] || Killua Zoldyck x Reader Oneshot

Right where you are, you were bound to make only one choice.

Will you leave or stay?

All the pressure of the earth went down on you as you lay on your bed, phone on your side with tears threatening to come out of your eyes. That favorite ringtone you always, always, want to hear was no where to be heard.

"Call me, please. . ." You said in a whisper, expecting him to hear it. But only a fool would believe that such things happen- but now you're convinced that you are.

It was quite a complicating story. It was a choice between your future career and the one you love. Both of them are important- and none of your choices are any close to best.

Everything happened because of a call from your mother from overseas, demanding you to study law for college, to where she and your dad is. For the past 16 years, you were staying in your aunt's home while your parents are working in a different country. They visit only more than 4 times a year. They bring you there when they want to; though they still send you back to their homeland, and this time, it seems like they want you to stay there until you graduate in college. It was rather, fine, for them, greatly; but for you, no. You would never want to leave him.

You met him when you were a freshman in high school. The first time you met him, he seemed rather. . . cold to everyone except for his best friend Gon. Intrigued, and with no familiar face to turn to, you decided to make him notice you and be his new friend. Girls swarmed over him, and it's maybe either because of his looks or his financial statuses because of his family's company- or both. He first found you as a nuisance, because you bug him way too much, brought him lunch, and does get friendly with Gon as well. But then, as time passed, he started being open to you.

And that nuisance status went up to being a friend. That time, you already knew, you like him.

When you two were sophomores in high school, that was when he took you to an amusement park and confessed- and it was official. You have to admit, it was one of the happiest days of your life.

You two have only been for more than a year and a half, and he's already going to be separated from you.

Being a lawyer is what you want to be ever since you were little. Debates, they were your thing. But whenever it's your parents, your confidence just crumbles every time.

"When will your school year end?"

"Next week." you responded. "Why?"

"One of our business partners is known at one of the greatest universities here! He offered us to make you study there. After you graduate as a fourth year high school here, he can get you in the university with no problem at all!" Your mom said in an excited tone. "We already talked about this and you're already assured to study here."

You instantly felt giddy. Finally, you're going to be with them, to at least, know your parents and you are gonna live at the same roof, it was what you thought. But, something was pulling you back.

Him.

He'd understand, won't he? After all, the internet exists.

"Mom, this is great news!" you smiled with hope. "Let me just tell Killua hold on-"

"No."

It echoed in your head. You laughed mentally. A joke, was what you considered it.

"Aww come on mom, I'll just hold this one and call him via telephone. . ."

"I said no. Do I need to repeat myself?"

"Mom," you chuckled. "Don't joke like that- "

"It's not a joke honey. Don't call him now." She said in a sudden stern tone, which had cut your teasing. "If you are, tell him you're leaving him."

"'Leaving' is such a blunt word." You complained. "If he knows, me and him could always video call."

"If you want him to know, tell him you're not going to see him until you graduate. No, not until you become a lawyer."

"What? Mom, you gotta be kidding me." You said in a sarcastic tone, though, on the other side, you felt what she said is true.

"I'm not!" She yelled, which made you slightly jump. "Don't make me repeat myself. After your recognition, I'd make someone pick you up."

"My boyfriend has the right to know." You said. "Why so sudden?"

"Your grades." She said. "It's going downside."

"Downside? Mom, that's exaggeration. I'm still get the highest grades in class. Why does he need to get involved in this?"

"Because he's the reason." She said.

Lie. A big one.

You chuckled bitterly. "Him? No. That's a joke. He's the one who's inspiring me. You know who's the reason? You guys. Have you ever gave me motivational words when I fail? No. You only make me feel worthless day-by-day."

"How dare you!" She said, furious. "Who do you think made you study in famous schools? Who do you think actually made you who you are? Don't throw it on me because I helped you."

"Well, thank you." You said. "How nice of you actually making a successful business with dad and can't even raise her child right by herself. Thanks."

"You-"

"I know, I know, I can't go anywhere anymore without being spotted now, am I right? Secret bodyguards." You sighed. "I'm not going to put much of a fight now. You win. Thanks for removing my happiness everytime.."

"Wait-"

You hung up. You smiled. And then frowned.

Frowning then turned to tears.

"Just how the hell can I pull this off. . .?"
