Guest, do you remember how long it's been since we became friends? We were each other's one and only besties. I used to only hang out with my usual group, but after getting close to you, you became part of my daily life—through every break and lunch period. In a way, I think I was always the one who approached you first. We'd play pranks, get into trouble, and get scolded together. I took the time I spent with you for granted. Have I ever imagined a life without you? Not once.

Then, I got a girlfriend. A perfect partner who shared my sense of humor and looked exactly like my ideal type—someone I thought I'd be with forever! And slowly, I started to forget about you. It's my fault for taking you for granted and not cherishing you. I still regret it. If I hadn't acted like that, none of this would have happened.

On the day we promised to hang out, I flaked on you to spend time with her. It got to the point where there were more days I broke my promises to you than days I kept them. I guess I valued the time with her more than you back then. If I had felt even a little bit of guilt, would things have been different? Or was this just destiny?

But lately, she hasn't been reading my messages. She used to contact me first all the time, but after yesterday, it just stopped. Worried, I tried calling her, but she didn't pick up. I contacted the police and reached out to you too, pouring out my worries and complaining about the situation.

A few days passed, and I got a call from the police saying they found her. Feeling half hopeful and half anxious, I listened to what the officer had to say.

They said she was dead. Her body was covered in bruises and wounds. The news reported on the case, saying the culprit had been caught or something. I couldn't function normally after that.

I shut myself in my room and lived like a wreck for weeks.

Despite your worried words, your visits, and your constant messages, I stayed in my room. Then, you sent another message, and I didn't see it until hours later. After reading your text, I couldn't help but freeze right where I stood.
