■3rd Person POV■

Y/N woke up and check on her phone. There's a message from Hayama asking her to hang out with him today because he's going back sooner.

Y/N took a shower and eat breakfast and then walks out of her house. She turns her head and looks at Semi's door.

"Semi: I hate it... when you're with another man I hate it... when You call his name so casually I hate it..."

Y/N: Semi...

I walk to meet Hayama in front of my apartment. We stroll around the city, I accompany Hayama looking for gifts for his friends in (country).

We hang around until it's late and then we pass a small fair in the park. We decided to stop by and eat something.

After we finish eating, Hayama suddenly grabs my hand.

Hayama: Y/N... I... have something to say to you...

Hayama and I walk to an emptier area. I look up at him and he stares at me.

Y/N: Hayama? What's wrong?

Hayama: Y/N I... I'm going back tomorrow... I don't know when will we meet again...

Suddenly I feel a hand cup my cheek, making me nervous. Hayama places a hand on my cheek and staring at me.

Y/N: Ha...yama?

Hayama: Y/N.... I... love you...

■3rd Person POV■

Y/N is stunned by Hayama's confession. She stays still as his hand gently cupping her cheek. She could feel shivers run down her spine.

Semi has just finished hanging out with his friends at the fair and heading to his car when he sees the sight that almost stopped his heart from beating.

There's Y/N and Hayama, as the man's hand is on her soft cheek. Semi grits his teeth and clenches his hands. His feet glued to the ground and he listens to whatever the two are saying.

Y/N: Ha...yama?

Hayama: I... really love you Y/N... since long ago, but I don't want to ruin what we have so I keep it to myself... but then you move away, making me realize that... I want you by my side...

Y/N is happy to hear someone cares about her like this. Y/N is close to Hayama, she knowd how kind Hayama is. But, the thing is.

Semi's face keeps on flashing on her mind. Her heart always beating faster when Semi's around, there's nothing to think about. Y/N loves Semi.

Y/N: Hayama... I...

Tears roll down her cheeks, both Semi and Hayama are surprised to see her cry.

Hayama: Y/N...

Y/N: I'm... happy that you like me... but I... I can't help but think about someone else... I'm... sorry... I...

Semi could feel that his heart is beating faster in anticipation.

Hayama wipes Y/N's tears away and smiles at her. Y/N look up at Hayama who'd tenderly look at her.

Hayama: is it... still the same guy you like back in high school?

Semi could feel his heart pounding after hearing that. He couldn't take his eyes off her. He sees as Y/N nods her head, making his breath hitches. A surge of happiness fills him.

Y/N: I... I forgot about him for years... and thought that when I see him again things would be just fine... but I

Y/N covers her face with her arms

Y/N: when I meet him again... and getting close to him... I can't help as my feeling grows for him again... I... love Semi...

Semi feels as his heart clenches at the sight of Y/N crying.

Y/N: but I should have learned from the past... I... can't make Semi happy... but even so... I can't help to fall for him agai-

Semi: you made me happy... you always did

Both Y/N and Hayama turn their head to the source of the voice. Semi is standing a couple of meters away from the two. He can't help but going out and stop Y/N from saying something that wasn't true.

Y/N: Se...mi...

■Semi's POV■

How could I make her think that way? she always made me happy, even back then too, I'm always happy when I'm with her. It's just me, I'm the jerk. 

I see as Y/N takes a step back but her back bumped into Higuchi. Y/N looks back at Higuchi as he smiles at her. 

Hayama: so... your ex is your neighbor... (chuckles) no wonder... talk it out Y/N... 

Higuchi turns his gaze to me

Hayama: I... will leave her with you today.... you've heard her feeling and I'm sure... you want to deliver yours as well... just remember... the next time I heard she's hurt by you again... I'm the one who's going to make her happy...

Higuchi pushes Y/N forward, making her stumbles and I caught her. I watch as Higuchi walks away, leaving Y/N and me alone. Just when I'm about to look down, I could feel as Y/N pulls back from my arms and takes a step back.

Y/N: Se-Semi... I uh... I'm sorry... 

I see as she's flustered in front of me. I love this woman, though my feelings died down during the time when she's away, my feeling for her never left. 

The moment I saw her again, I knew my feeling will eventually grow, but I tried to hold it down, remember what I did to her back then made me think I don't deserve to have such a feeling for her.

But now, after hearing about her feeling, I can't help but let my feeling arose. I walk closer to her, and she takes another step back. 

Semi: Y/N...

Y/N: Semi... I'm sorry... p-please... just forget if you hear what I said befo-

Semi: HOW AM I SUPPOSE TO FORGET SOMETHING THAT MAKES ME HAPPY?

I see as Y/N's eyes widened, she looks surprised as I raise my voice.

Semi: how am I supposed to forget... when the woman I love, says that she loves me?

Y/N: Se..mi... wha-

Semi: I... love you Y/N... I always do... even back then, I regret what I did to you... but, I was being a coward and didn't even say a word because I'm afraid of what you might say to me...

I look down at my feet, remembers Y/N's crying face when she caught me with that girl who I don't even remember the name. And the face when she smiles at me before she left.

Semi: but then... on our graduation day... I saw you smile at me... I'm about to get to you, but I was too late... you left... and I thought... I can't even apologize and lost my chance... but...

I look up at her, she's staring at me.

Semi: I saw you on my next-door balcony... I thought God was kind enough to let me apologize... and I thought that'll be enough but no... I can't help but fall for you again...

Y/N: but... you... told that girl that you're single... and (sobs) you've been avoiding me lately... I... can't help but think that... you and I... can't even be clo-

I grab her arm and pull her to me, circling my arms around her body.

Semi: I'm sorry... I was immature back then, I'm too immersed in the attention I got... and these days... I thought I need to stop my feeling because you look close to Higuchi... but now... I don't want to let go... I'm sorry, I'm so selfish...

I push her back a little, seeing as tears falling on her cheeks. I wipe them away, placing my hand on her left cheek, and my other hand on her lower back, making sure that she wouldn't get away.

Y/N: Semi... (sobs)

Semi: Y/N... please... can we start again? I swear I'll do better... I'll do my best to atone for what I did back then... I... can't lose you again... I... really love you

Y/N's tears keep coming out of her eyes. She starts to tremble and sobs.

Y/N: I... was so sad when I saw you with her... when you told her you're single... I... can't help but think that I... am not the one who could make you happy...

I pull her close, pressing her head to my chest.

Semi: I'm sorry... I'm always happy when I have you around me...

Y/N clutches the front of my T-shirt.

Y/N: I... was so happy when we became close again... but then... Semi... you start to avoid me...

Semi: that's because I thought I don't deserve to love you... but not anymore... I don't care... I can't stop my feeling...

Now I place both hands on her cheeks, tilting her head up, and wipes her tears.

Semi: Y/N... let me... be with you again... I... love you...

Y/N: I... love you too... Eita...

Y/N whine in my arms ad more tears keep on coming. Hearing my name came out of her lips makes me extremely happy.

Am I allowed to be this happy?

Semi: I swear.. I won't make you sad anymore.. I won't hurt you... let's start over... Y/N... please

Y/N looks up at me and opens her teary puffy eyes.

Y/N: yes...

I can't help it, I'm overwhelmed with happiness. I lean in and press our lips together. How foreign the feeling of her soft lips on mine, as it has been years since I felt it.

But, I could also feel familiar warm feelings from those lips. Because her lips are the first lips that I ever kiss.

I pull back and look at her flushed face.

I love her...

I pull Y/N for a hug and press our forehead together.

Semi: thank you Y/N...

Y/N: Eita...

I take her hand in mine and we walk back home together.

We walk through the fair toward where I park my car is. Hand in hand, feeling each other's warmth.

This time...

I won't lose her again...
