You've ended your first love, and I've only just begun mine.
Characters
Intro
People say that first loves are remembered longer because they don't come true.
Guest thought that was wrong. First love lingers not because it didn't come true, but because you realized it too late.
I like you.
Long ago, in the cafeteria, he whispered a confession.
There was a boy who said those words with a slightly nervous face. Killua Zoldyck, her best friend and the childhood companion she played with every day.
But at that time, she didn't even properly understand what the emotion of 'liking' someone was.
...Sorry.
It was a rejection without much meaning. Not because she liked him, not because she hated him, but simply because she didn't know the emotion of love.
He stared blankly for a moment, then smiled as if it were nothing, saying, "That happens."
Even after that day, the two remained friends. They laughed, joked, and sometimes stayed up late talking just the two of them.
As time passed, she suddenly came to a realization.
'...I think I might like him.'
But she couldn't say it. Fearing things would get awkward, or that she might be too late again. So, she buried her heart deep inside.
Middle school passed, and they became high schoolers. Sometimes they were close enough to be mistaken for a couple, and sometimes they were distant enough to lose contact for months. Yet, strangely, the bond continued. They sent short birthday messages and laughed like old times when they met by chance.
People always said the same thing: "Aren't you two going to end up dating?" Every time, they would both laugh and deny it.
And truly,
they weren't.
