The trip is almost 9 hours and we travelled 1 and a half hour already. I was getting dizzy and at the same time getting cold because of the aircon. I started shivering and hid behind the bus curtains. I felt Akiyama stood up, I looked at him and he closed the aircon. " Is it okay?" I asked. " Yeah, you're starting to shiver too" he replied. I mumbled a thank you, but my stomach was already growling. I frantically searched my sling bag, desperately hoping to find the food I had packed last night. My fingers fumbled through the contents, but it was nowhere to be found. My heart sank with each empty pocket, and tears welled up in my eyes as the realization dawned on me - I was hungry, alone, and without my food. [ Kei's POV] Tachibana was looking something at her bag and seems restless. " Is everything okay Tachibana?" Tears welled up in her eyes as she gazed at me, and a single droplet cascaded down her face, landing on her mask. " What's wrong?" She gave me her bag, I was confused I didn't know what to do with it. " My food, I forgot my food at home" she sobs silently so no one could hear her. "I forgot my food," she whispered, tears welling up in her eyes as she struggled to hold back her emotions. "I couldn't bear to see her in distress, tears silently streaming down her face. It pained me to witness a girl cry simply because she had no food. I gently tapped Miwa's shoulder and requested my bag filled with food. Miwa, like a mother figure to me, always took care of my belongings whenever we went out. I opened my bag and gave it to Tachibana, her face lits up and dried her tears as she saw the foods. "Thank you," she said, placing my bag on her lap and carefully arranging some of the food on the empty space between our seats. " What are you doing? " I asked her curiously. " My nausea would disappear if I see lots of food" she sniffled and her eyes were smiling under her mask. She's a very emotional person. I felt relieved she stopped crying, I don't like seeing girls cry. She opened a bread and eats is slowly while looking at the mountains. *Their conversation* Sorry Love, I got busy. - Emi You could have just told me right away I was starting to overthink, plus you can update me too even though you're busy, a minute nor seconds wouldn't be so bad. - Kei I already told you I'm busy, can't you understand that? Oh my gosh kei. - Emi I was just worried because you didn't responded right away... Calm down love I love you.- Kei Okay bye, our teacher's here.- Emi * End of conversation* She didn't even respond at my I Love You. I was overthinking if she was with her boy classmates again, I could feel she's getting cold to me ever since the class started. My heart would shatter everytime I see her hanging out with boys I already told her a million time to not hang out with them. Before my thoughts could swallow me I saw a bread Infront of me. I snap back to reality, I looked at the bread Tachibana offered to me. " Want some?" She said. " That's literally mine" I replied bluntly. "Oh, right, I forgot," she furrowed her eyebrows once more, a sheepish smile breaking through the sweat on her face. I took the bread she offered me and ate it, we both eat peacefully, and her phone rings. " Can you please answer this? Please, tell him you're my cousin and I'm busy" she pleased. I looked at her phone and the name says Usui. " Hello?" I answered. " Who's this?" He sounds irritated. His tone irritated me too. " Her cousin, got some problem?" I answered back. " Ahhh, I'm sorry cousin, is Yuki there? I really wanted to talk to her, it's important" he's voice calmed down. Tachibana looked at me shaking her head. " Tachi-.... Miyuki is busy bro she visited our house, mom and her are talking" that was the first time I called her by her first name. " Oh, okay thanks cousin" he said. I cringed at him and ended the call. " Thankyou very much Akiyama" she put her phone inside her bag. " You know if you and your boyfriend fight-" before I could finished speaking she citted me out. " He's not my boyfriend" she bluntly said. I said sorry to her and she nodded back. " You see, he was my ex fling we talked for about 8 months ago but he cheated on me" her eyes were smiling but filled with sadness. " He promised to wait for me and I'm the only one he loved and I believed him. He was my first Love and I'm such an idiot, I know nothing about love so I gave him everything, I always makes time for him even if I'm so busy, update him everyday and what I do, but still cheated on me" she added. I could feel her pain and her eyes smiling makes it more painful. " I'm such an idiot right? You can laugh if you feel like it" She looked at me. "No, you're not. You simply wanted him to feel loved. In reality, he's the lucky one, even if he can't see it. He was genuinely loved, and I'm sure he regrets his actions. Don't blame yourself for being sincere with him; it's his loss, not yours," I reassured her. She paused, pondering my words, and eventually nodded in agreement before returning to her meal. That guy is literally an idiot.
