My Little Prince's

HAKU POV

I still see and watch Yuko a lot. I felt a little calm when I found out he had improved a little. Well, sometimes he still has nightmares and makes him wake up in the middle of the night and Yuko sobbed again while calling my name.

"Yuko, relax..!! I'm here!" I said it and wanted to get it. But again, I just went through his body.

I can't do anything about it. Can only accompany you in silence. And I hope you'll soon forget me, Yuko. That way I'll leave quietly soon.

Again I apologize to you.

If only I hadn't seen you back then, if only I hadn't chased your train, and if I hadn't caught up with you to Sapporo. This must never happen. You're gonna be okay now, Yuko.

It all happened because of my selfishness. This is all because of my ambition that is so big that I want to be with you too much, Yuko. I'm the one who's selfish for forcing you to go back to remembering our past, and grow that bond again. And now I'm just leaving you. I didn't even get to say goodbye to you before.

I'm the one who caused all this...!! I'm the one who made you fall like this...!! I'm sorry, Yuko. Now I looked down and cried in front of him.

...***...

The weekend I saw Kiro take Yuko to Odori Park. I see Yuko getting better. He even smiled often.

But then, when Kiro left her to buy something, I saw her daydreaming and sad again. Ahh, I think he remembered me.🥺 Because it is in Odori Park that we meet again after we meet in Tokyo.

"Yuko.." I said unconsciously.

Yuko immediately drowned here and there looking for something around her. What the hell was that just now? Can he hear me?

"Hi! What are you looking for?" Suddenly Kiro came again.

"Ah, No. It was like someone was calling me. But I think I misheard" Yuko said.

"It!" Kiro offers a chocolate Ice Cream to Yuko. Then he sat next to her.

"Uhm.. Cyrro.. Actually I prefer the Strawberry taste" said Yuko slowly.

I smiled at Yuko.. Well.. Starawbery Ice Cream is Yuko's favorite ice cream. You have to remember it, Kiro! I smiled at them both.

"Ah, I'm sorry I didn't know you didn't like chocolate. Um.. Wanna exchange with me?" kiro happened to buy chocolate and strawberry flavors.

"Can?" ask Yuko.

"Hmm.." said Kiro while smiling at Yuko.

Then the two of them exchanged Ice Cream. After spending Ice Cream, Kiro took Yuko to Aso Beach which is located not too far from Odori Park.

"Gee.. Beach.. It's been a long time since I went to the beach." said Yuko cheerfully. He spread out his hands and closed his eyes. Breathe fresh air at that time.

I didn't even get to take you to the beach at the time. I pouted a little at Yuko.

"Do you like the beach?" ask Kiro.

"certain.. How's yours?"

"I often go with my family."

"really? Gee.. It must be nice to go to the beach with the family. My family never did. We if the holiday must be yes to the grandmother's house." said Yuko with a little frown.

"Next time I'll take you on vacation with my family."

"Seriously?"

"Yep.."

"You want to take a picture of me?" kiro asked as if in disbelief.

"Yeap. Stay there and rilex...!!" Yuko moved away from Kiro and prepared to take a picture.

"OKAY. Stay that way....!!"

Some time Yuko approached Kiro again and showed the results of his jebretan to Kiro.

"Gee.. You look so cool, Kiro..!! Why not just be a model photo?" yuko said amazed.

"Have it first." Kiro laughed a little.

Yeap, Kiro used to be a model while in Tokyo. It was still class 1 Junior High. The handsome, tall-faced man was found and offered by an agency in Shinjuku, Tokyo. But when class 3 Junior High suddenly he vacum. He told me once that he wanted to focus on learning.

"Really?" yuko asked Kiro.

"Yes. When I was in Tokyo, when I was Junior High. But I've vacum. I want to study" said Kiro.

"Well, what a pity. You look so cool and talented, Kiro."

"Ah.. Not really." Kiro laughed a little. "Yuko, I have something to tell you." Kiro's face suddenly turned a little serious looking at Yuko.

"Yes..?"

"It's about Haku.."

Degggh..

For a moment I flicked my smile which from earlier smiled looking at the two of them.

"I'm.." said Yuko lirih. He looked sad again after hearing my name.

"I know it must be very hard for you. But trust me, Haku will always be close to you." Kiro smiled faintly at Yuko. "He liked you a lot from childhood. Even for 12 years he's been loving you non-stop. Never changed that feeling. I totally understand it. I understand Haku very well. He always finds out about you. Even though he never called you because he was so shy back then. And he was always waiting for you to come to Tokyo back then. But, because of the accident. He's got to go. And he's my best friend. So, back then.. On the way to the hospital.. Before he's gone forever.. He told me once.. To always take care of you." Kiro clasped Yuko's fingers and looked at her seriously. "So now I'm the one who will take care of you, Yuko. I'll keep my promise to, Haku."

I who witnessed it fell silent and looked at them straight. I don't feel my tears wetting my cheeks. Kiro, you are my best friend. I hope you can take care of Yuko from now on.

"So that's why you're moving to Sapporo again?" ask Yuko slowly. And Yuko's eyes are now glazed.

"That's one of the reasons why I went back to Sapporo. To fulfill my promise to Haku. Actually, I was about to finish my school and go back to Sapporo. But I don't understand. Lately Haku has been coming to my dreams a lot. So I just moved on" Kiro said.

"Then.. Why did he meet me for 5 months, Kiro? Makes me remember it again, re-grow the bond and remember it. Who have I been seeing all this time?" yuko lirih.

I'm sorry, Yuko.🥺

"Surely he is Haku." Kiro smiles warmly at Yuko. "Maybe he was just saying goodbye to you."

"Honestly, I still can't accept any of this, Kiro. It's all too heavy for me."

"Just calm. I will help you through this." Kiro said with a smile and looked straight at Yuko.

"Thank you, Kiro" said Yuko.

"There's no need to thank you, Yuko. Because I'm happy to do it." Kiro rubbed Yuko's head and laughed.

I smiled faintly watching all this. Now it's Kiro who will take care of you, Yuko.
