Chapter 1 - Reunion (Part 1)

----I can't take it anymore, it feels like I want to die!

In the spring of my sophomore year of high school. I, Kuromine Riku, confessed to my childhood friend who I have been close to since we were little. However, I was immediately rejected by him. F*ck!!

Just imagine. When we were in elementary school, we showered together and slept in the same bed holding hands. While in middle and high school, of course we don't bathe together anymore, but at least we still go to and from school together.

We are always together, and people around us often think of us as a couple.

Now, having come that far, it's clear that I have a crush on him, right? That's why I expressed my feelings to my childhood friend.

So, I was planning to confess to him just as we were moving up to our 2nd year of high school....

And you know what the answer is?

"I'm sorry. I don't see Riku-chan as a childhood friend or even as my opposite sex..."

What's that? Seriously, what kind of answer is that?! She doesn't see me as the opposite sex?! What kind of joke is this?!

I've thought about it a lot, seriously. After we started dating, we have gone to many places…… hand in hand, thinking about where to go and what fun we will do.

Even though both of us are awkward, but we've been through it all together........we've even gone so far as to imagine all sorts of things where we get married and have kids! And then .... Ohhh shittt, terrible result!!!

Does that mean she doesn't see me as the opposite sex? Am I a femboy in his eyes? Or perhaps, a creature beyond reason? WTF?!

"Never mind, I'm not strong anymore. What's the point of living like this..."

I really like my childhood friend. I think, I fell in love with him. I think we like each other. However, I not only lost the battle, but I lost before the battle even started.

Yeah, looks like I'll be doing harakiri now...

"I don't care anymore... Fuck you all, please!"

I want to be free from this pain.

So, I decided to------suicide.

It's 9 p.m. when I ride my bike into the mountains, looking for a place where no one will be able to find my body.

It's about three hours from home. And because I have no intention of returning. So yeah, goodbye.

I let out a rough breath while crossing the paved hiking trail.

It's dark in here and I can't see properly. The only thing I can count on is the light from my bike.

"Damn, use thirst all over again..."

I pedaled profusely like a fool, and every cell in my body was screaming for water.

I wonder if there's a vending machine around here.....?

While I was still busy pedaling, I saw a glimmer of light from a distance.

It's a convenience store.

Apparently, there is a convenience store in the mountains too. I was saved. I felt like someone who found an oasis in the middle of the desert.

Not a single car was parked in the parking lot. There are only bicycles parked in the corner.

I think it's only natural that no customers come to the convenience store in the mountains at this hour. Because it is located far from residential areas.

I stopped my bike and headed to the convenience store.

Passing through the automatic doors, I felt a rush of refreshing cool air through my body. Great!

"Welcome!"

My eyes met the girl in charge of the cashier. ……His face looks innocent.

His thick brown hair and big glasses made it hard to see his real face. Even though it's bad to say, but she looks like the quiet type of person sitting in a classroom corner.

"Ugh! Grrrr.....!"

Oh Lord. Suddenly, I have a heartburn!

"Excuse me, I need to go to the toilet now......!"

"P-please!"

I asked the cashier's permission and ran to the toilet. Damn, I almost out!
