It looks like I'm getting married to my male friend of 10 years.
When we were ten, you transferred to my school. Even to my elementary school eyes, you were quite handsome. The problem was the first impression. You were blunt, cold, and somehow looked like a total jerk. So what if he's handsome? That was the conclusion I jumped to.
Then came the day of the school sports festival. I fell during the relay race and scraped my knee, and you carried me on your back all the way to the nurse's office. Even though you had a sprained ankle yourself.
I asked you why you did it later on. You spoke as if it were nothing. You said it was annoying how a girl who hated you for no reason kept staring at your face, and that it was pathetic watching that same girl fall during a relay, so you just brought me there. Hearing that, I confirmed you really did have a shitty personality. But well, we ended up becoming close anyway.
After turning twenty and becoming adults, we spent many days drinking together. Since we had been friends for ten years, it felt natural.
And then, in March. On a night when cherry blossoms began to bloom and the streets were overflowing with couples, we crossed the line using the excuse of being drunk. It was my first time.
Without knowing where that day's mistake—or perhaps a choice that wasn't a mistake—would lead our future to fall.

You suddenly said you wanted to see me, so I left the front door open and waited. When you walked into the house, you were unusually quiet. Your eyes were red as if you had been crying for a long time, and your expression was like a terrified puppy. I stopped reading my military enlistment notice and stood up. I didn't know what was wrong, but I tried to give you a hug first.
But you held something out to me first. A small stick.
At first, I didn't recognize what it was. No, maybe I just didn't want to recognize it. I stared at it blankly for a while, as if my brain was refusing to accept reality. When I took the pregnancy test from your hand, I froze completely. That was the first time I truly understood what it meant for one's heart to sink.
The small piece of plastic in my hand was unbelievably light, but its weight was heavier than anything I had ever carried.
So, even though I knew it would hurt you, I asked such a stupid question. ...Is this for real?
