❝ Hello. It seems that you are struggling with those, please let me help you. ❞
Oh, a boy's voice. I was about to inform him wholeheartedly that I'm grateful for the kindness but I can do it myself, but the moment I look up is I felt the moment had...
The word that I want to hear but fear to come. Just how did love planted in the middle of the war so suddenly? I don't know if I should fear or be glad with it. Yes, it's good to hear and I'm thankful for that but isn't that a bit in a wrong time? Didn't you find it wrong? How did you, a Momotaro, could be so careless, how could I be so careless to make this happen?
As I pulled back suddenly, looking at Mikado with unreadable expression before smiling at him bitterly. How could he say that so casually? Yet then again, he's the one who's clueless here. He doesn't know anything at all. What would he react if he loved an Oni? his sole enemy.
"What's wrong?" Hearing him ask in concern, I looked down on the ground as I kneel. Shaking my head then giving a faint laugh. The hand that I wrapped around his neck snaked to his shoulders, giving it a squeeze then making an eye contact with him.
"Mikado... I..." Is this the right time for me to say it? Or is this too sudden for him to take it? I hesitated. But looking at his concerned expression mixed with love struck one, it made me realize I'm not ready to ruin the friendship we ha─ oh.
That act he pulled, he love me. We love each other. How...could I fix this?
As I thought, love is like a bug, it's eating us out as we're the leaves. Seriously. I'm confused, maybe I need time alone.
Just as I was about to stand up, I shook my head again. Nevermind that, I need to stay out of this as soon as possible. I'm sorry Mikado, but I need to clear my mind first. I had to, this is so wrong. So wrong. You shouldn't fall in love with your enemy, why did you have to. If the sun rises again, I know that one day, you'll have to kill me with your own hands.
"I need time alone." I spoke, forcing to smile at him, he didn't give a reply yet I could see the baffled expression he had, hence, giving me the space I needed anyway. I saw him nod slowly and I hum.
Thus walking away at the scene.

One... Two... Three... Four... Five minutes or maybe ten minutes? Twenty? Thirty? I don't know. I was sitting alone at the chair of my house with an instant breating of my heart, my mind was foggy as my emotions went roller coaster. This is a mess, how could I let this happen to me again? Only if I didn't agree that day. How could I be tangled at this messy path, to break my heart and soul as he did too. This is too much for not wanting everyone to get involved to me, now that I've done it, this always happen. Shitty things happen.
"If only..." We're not cursed right when we're born then all will be alright, where we both walk down the city lights of the town as we both could do whatever we wanted─ we couldn't do that now, not when the world is playing. Being an Oni or a Momo means putting your life on the line, well, all the time as we speak.
As much as I wanted to stay, he doesn't understand it, maybe. I'll just do it by myself then, I'll be called as a coward but it's fine. I need us to crumble in order to stay in that black line that supposed to be separating us.
We've been at war for who knows how long, the sign of calming down in Momo or Oni's blood isn't there yet─ not that they plan to calm down to begin with.
I blinked and sigh, looking at the door at the distance, did Mikado went home? Would he be going here or leave me alone finally? That's kind of a relief but witnessing him leave me alone here from now on kinda hurts. Those flashing memories we had together, he was the one who entertained me during my loneliness, and losing him hurts even more that I could ever imagine. Why must everything go this way?
Maybe I would be satisfied if we love each other, neither a Momotaro nor an Oni.
Then happily ever after would exist.
As I get up in my position, I hesitantly walked towards the door, almost twisting the knob as I think again and swallowed the lump of my throat, with a shaking cold hand, my lip quiver. His silhouette from the distance is visible, confirming that he didn't yet leave, but why?
"You could do it. Tell him, and do it at him after, just like how you do it on any normal Momotaro." Yes. That's right, break the bond between for the both of us and made him forget me. That's the only choice. I might be dying but it's alright, I would get beheaded after if he finds it out but with my ways, it doesn't even matter for me if I'll be the only one who's hurting till the end.
Before regret consumed my whole body, I didn't even try to forgive myself. I'm sorry.
Twisting the knob, I was greeted with the fresh air, this place is always been my safe zone because it's been quiet yet right now, if you look at it. The silence is so loud that I didn't even think that it's my safe zone anymore; clearly, the atmosphere is filled with anticipation. My anticipation.
"Sorry for making you wait Mikado." Why does it sound so bitter? One thing that I hate the most on this scenario is he waited for me outside as I cry inside, then going out with a terrible news. This is pathetic, purely pathetic. But why is he looking at me like that? With sincerity, I need him to stop it yet I didn't have the guts to tell it to him, no.
I didn't even know if I should avoid or cherish this day. Because this day will be the last day for us. I'm sorry Mikado.
But don't you worry, I will hate me too.
"I have something to tell you real quick." Immediately dismissing the whole circus inside my head as making a move. I saw Mikado turned his head towards me, I know that he might be thinking that I'm serious, but I am. I am serious, he should know that since I gave the firm voice and face.
