I’m Sorry (Kojiyuu) - One Shot
“Hey! It seems that there an accident happened!”
“It seems like the girl got hit while protecting the other girl!”
“It’s so sad.”
“The girl is still so young!”
More and more people swam around us.
‘H-Haruna…’
I can only barely see her at the corner of my eyes.
“With that much of bleeding, that girl probably wouldn’t make it.”
‘I’m sorry, it’s my fault.’
*Yawn*
“Good Morning Haruna!”
I went over to hug her.
“Yuko! At least cover your mouth!”
“But there’s only you! No one will see!”
“Ah! Haruna-san! Thank you as usual for picking Yuko!”
“It’s my pleasure!”
“Anyway, do you have any good guy to recommend? I think Yuko need one as she depending on you too much!”
“M-MUM?! W-What are you talking about?!”
“I’m just saying the fact!”
“I-I’m not hearing anything! Let’s go Haruna! We’ll be late!”
Haruna and I are childhood friend.
She’s like a big sister to me since young, well, she always take care of me.
The truth is, actually I’m in love with her.
But I’m afraid of destroying our friendship hence I didn’t confess.
“Are you both dating?”
“W-What are you saying Mii-chan?!”
“You’re always unconsciously staring at her!”
“N-No, we are not dating.”
“Eh?! Why not?! Since you like her!”
“Don’t you find it strange? We are both girls!”
“Yuko! Don’t forget the handouts!”
Mii-chan nudged me and gave me a smile.
“I will be going first!”
“Yuko, do you want to go to the newly opened café after school?”
“Why?”
“Didn’t you always say that you wanted to go there?”
“Yup yup! But is it fine with you?”
“Hahaha! Of course it is! Although sometimes you can be irritating but it’s very fun hanging out with you!”
*Blush*
‘At this moment, I finally feel that I can’t keep my feeling anymore. That’s why I’m going to confess today!’
“Yuko! What do you want to eat?”
“Cheese cake!”
Though out the whole eating, I can’t concentrate on what Haruna is talking about.
“Hello girls! Today that’s a special event! So we are giving away free squirrel soft toy! Here’s one for you!”
“Thank you!”
“Enjoy your foods!”
“Hahaha! Yuko! It looks like you! I will give it to you then”
“T-Thanks.”
“Let’s go home now!”
‘I need to confess to her now!’
“We have reached your house! Bye bye! See you tomorrow!”
I waved her goodbye.
I dragged my feet to my room.
‘Nevermind, I will do it tomorrow!’
I placed the squirrel beside my digital clock.
I take a quick look at my digital clock.
‘8 August 2013’
’11:35pm’
“Yuko! It’s 6:30am now!”
“Eh?!”
I looked at my clock.
‘8 August 2013’
‘6:31am’
“Mmmm? Where my squirrel goes?”
“Nevermind about that! I’m going to be late!”
*Yawn*
“Good Morning Haruna!”
I went over to hug her.
“Yuko! At least cover your mouth!”
“Haruna, I thought you said that yesterday?’
“Nope! I didn’t!”
“Ah! Haruna-san! Thank you as usual for picking Yuko!”
“It’s my pleasure!”
“Anyway, do you have any good guy to recommend? I think Yuko need one as she depending on you too much!”
‘Mum said that yesterday too…’
“Yuko? Let’s go! We’re going to be late!”
“Are you both dating?”
“Yuko! Don’t forget the handouts!”
Mii-chan nudged me and gave me a smile.
“I will be going first!”
“Yuko, do you want to go to the newly opened café after school?”
‘Didn’t we go yesterday? Sometimes wrong, it feels like today is the same as yesterday!’
“Haruna! What’s today date?!”
“8 August!”
‘I knew it… Could god give me a chance to confess to her now?’
“Haruna!”
*Sudden Headache*
“Yuko? Are you okay? You look pale!”
“Yeah! I-I’m fine!”
‘What happened just now? My mind just went blank for a moment and my head hurts.’
“Yuko! It’s 6:30am now!”
I looked at my clock.
‘8 August 2013’
‘6:31am’
‘It’s the same date again.’
‘Just to confirm I will ask Mii-chan!’
“Mii-chan! Today’s 9 August right?!”
“What are you talking about? Today’s 8!”
“Yuko! Don’t forget the handouts!”
‘Today is the same too… What’s happening?’
“Are you okay? You looked pale!”
“Ah… Yeah!”
“Really? That’s good!”
Haruna smiled.
I really do want to see Haruna smile.
“Yuko! It’s 6:30am now!”
Everyday I wake up listening to that sentence.
Since that I have lost count of how many times I’ve relived 8 August.
These days are peaceful and fun.
Even though time has stopped, my feeling continues to grow.
Suddenly a voice appeared in my head.
“It’s so sad.”
“The girl is still so young!”
‘This sentence, I heard before… but where?’
“Haruna, there’s something I wanted to tell you.”
“What is it?”
*Badump*
“Haruna, I wanted to tell you that-“
*Vroom*
We both turned our attention to the fast approaching car.
“Be careful!”
“Huh?”
Haruna pushed me away.
I tears as I remembered what happened.
Haruna will die on 9 August for saving my life.
My time stopped at 8 August because I was afraid of waking from the dream.
I’m just running away from the reality.
Reality of Haruna will be gone from my life after 8 August.
“Yuko? What is it that you want to tell me?”
Haruna offered her hand.
“I will tell you, when I woke up from this dream.”
Haruna smiled and hugged me.
“Thank you for everything.”
*Beep Beep Beep*
I opened my eyes and stared at a unfamiliar ceiling.
‘Where am I?’
“Oshima-san?! You are awake!”
“W-Where am I?”
“You are at the hospital!”
“What’s today date?!”
“It’s 9 August!”
“Where’s Haruna? The girl that was involve in the accident with me!”
“She’s not longer here.”
“I will go get the doctor!”
‘Haruna’s really gone…’
‘I should have known, yet I still hoped that I have the chance to tell you personally I love you.’
“Yuko! Thanks god!”
Haruna was hugging me.
‘Is this a dream too?’
“Haruna? How?”
“You got into the accident one year ago.”
“That girl can finally leave the hospital huh?”
“The girl that was being bought to the hospital with her miraculously survived. But the impact was too big for the other girl that’s why she fell into coma!”
“Even if the doctor said that she’s wouldn’t wake up, the other girl still visits her everyday!”
“The power of love is amazing.”
