[Chapter 12]
========
====== "Are you serious...?"
I asked the girl who was drinking her orange juice so cutely in front of me. The girl nodded lightly without removing her mouth from the straw. I was thinking if she was either weird or just an idiot. At first I thought she was troubled by Yuko's confession then I thought she was actually in love with her but now? I don't know what's she's thinking at all.
"So, you said no, Acchan?"
======FLASHBACK "Acchan, how about we break the rules?" she said to me, looking straight into my eyes.
"No." I clearly said to her without any hesitation. It's not like I hated her, but...
She was shocked by my immediate answer. I could tell that she was disappointed. I mean, who wouldn't? She looked like she wanted me to explain why, so I told her. "It's because I have my reasons..."
She looked down, probably holding in her tears. I wanted to pat her head and say 'It's okay, It's okay' but decided against it. But even though my spirit is high, seeing my best friend crying like that, hurts... She got up and walked to the door.
"Where are you going?" I asked her, looking at her back. "To get some fresh air..." she says, not turning back. She opened the door and went outside the room. I followed her to the apartment door. "Have a safe trip." I said to her. But, I never heard her reply.
And that was the last time I saw Oshima Yuko.
END OF FLASHBACK============ She tells me what happened and made my conclusion.
"So that's why Yuko's been missing..." She nods her head as I made my statement.
Yuko has been missing for weeks now. Nobody has seen her at all. She has a lot of friends and connections so she's most likely staying with them, since she's not home. The last time I visited her home, her mother told her that Yuko was staying at a friend's place for a while. I couldn't tell why she would skip her work as an idol until I heard Acchan's explanation.
"Why are you only telling me this now, Acchan?" I asked her one of the questions that's lingering in my mind. She looked down, not knowing how to answer it. I just sigh, knowing that I won't get my answer from her. But...
"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?!" I grabbed her by the collar and shouted at her. Luckily we were in her apartment so nobody could listen in. Her eyes didn't indicate any surprise, sadness, or anger. Which made me even more angry inside. "Mari-chan, I know..." with that one sentence from her, all my anger and hate seemed to have left me at that instant. "Sorry about that..." I apologized to her and she just gave me her usual smile. I wished that I wasn't so weak against it.
"Don't get so full of yourself" I lightly hit her head and she sticks her tongue out with a smile. "Hehe~ You noticed~"
"What will you do?" I asked her, knowing she would just ignore it but.. "I don't know..." she replied and continued "Thinking of AKB, her disappearance won't matter much. There's the new generations which could make up for her. But, I don't think I can take it any longer..." that was the first time I've ever heard her actually being true about her feelings. She was looking down, and hugged her own body tight, as if cold.
Before I could ask her any more, she gave me the smile. The smile that says 'Don't dig any deeper', so I'll just shut up for now. Knowing that she's being true to me is already good enough. She'll eventually find out the answer she's been looking for... And she will finish her business with Yuko. Even if it meant breaking the small girl's heart...
============
====== I'm in the car to pick up the two closest to me. I got to my lover's place first and then at my best friend's.
"Takamina~" she hugged me when she entered the car. The girl on my left is staring needles at me. "A- Acchan, you know that we can't act so close..." she pondered my words and smirked, getting the answer. "Ne, NyanNyan, want to know how to overpower Takamina~?" her eyes sparkled and gets closer to Acchan, beckoning for the answer. "No no no!" I covered Acchan's mouth with my hands, as to not let the secret get out. I don't want Harunyan to get corrupted by Acchan!
After a few mishaps and teasing from Acchan, we were almost at the destination, the airport in which I'll start my tour. Then, I finally asked her the question which I wanted to know the answer to the most. "Acchan, why are you even with me...?" she looks at me, confused. Harunyan, on the other hand, looks depressed and sad for a bit. I continued to ask her. "Why are you even here...? What will you do with Yuko?" I asked her, knowing what date today is. It's 17th October, in other words, Yuko's birthday.
Even if they were fighting, there's no way Acchan would ignore Yuko's birthday just like that. Acchan's not like that... Yuko disappeared for months and Acchan didn't even mention her once... I continued to speak my mind. "Acchan... I don't know why you two are fighting..." I cut my sentence half-way, not having the strength left anymore.
Then Harunyan held my hand and gave me a beautiful smile, assuring me that it will be okay. I smiled back, having more confidence in myself. I turned towards Acchan again. Her eyes captivating me... But...
"You should go to Yuko..."
============ I entered the apartment. As I suspected, there aren't anyone there. I went into her room and sat on her bed, feeling the last bit of presence left from her... I recalled Acchan's look when I asked her to break the rules with me. Her eyes aren't like the eyes as if she misunderstood anything. She knew what I meant but still rejected me anyways.
"I should've given up sooner..." I lie on the bed, as if to let my consciousness get enveloped by my first serious crush's presence. The presence which shoulders everything, the presence of the one who took the top, and the presence that stole my heart.
I realized that my cheeks are wet. "Haha... This is really ironic..." I laughed at my own weakness. Why was I so stupid to have believed that she will love me back...? There's no way that would ever happen...
"Now I can't see her anymore..." I almost let my consciousness get enveloped by the sweet aroma of my crush. My heart was screaming, telling me not to give up. But this time, I won't listen to it anymore.
"I'll start anew..." I get up from the bed, going to move forward yet again. "I won't be looking back anymore." I looked forward and saw a mirror and a table. On the table is a piece of paper. Probably from her drama.
I don't know why but I felt drawn to it for some reason. I get closer to it. This might be the chance I'm looking for.
I picked up the paper and looked at the contents.
"What... the..." that was when it all made sense yet didn't...
[To be continued]
===========
Wahhh.. This was short. Oh well, if I showed more, then it'd be against the PLOT. LoL

As for the Acchan haters, don't hate Acchan! Hate me instead! QAQ
Anywho, the next will be the final conclusion.
See you next time~ (probably will update it tomorrow)
