Romanticism Of Asahi. 

The month has finally come, It's the last month of the year, and for a very evident reason, everyone loves it! December has a lot to offer – it's the time for year-end celebrations, vacations, family time, exchanging gifts, and the time for new promises and embarking on new journeys. I know all the couples are excited today, it's like this it's the third Valentine, and white day. All the businesses will take this feeling as an advantage against the ignorant people.

  As I was walking on the snowy street, and as the snow fell in the sky at this time in the morning, I was wearing my winter uniform, and wearing a winter coat and scarf.

I was carefully walking in the street, because I might slip on ice, on the way to school.

  I finally arrived at the school ground.

And so, I arrived inside our class.

  I walked towards my sit and sat on it, and I heard some guys in our classroom.  "Phew, this month is so cold." He said.

And his friend said. "But there's one thing I hated this month, and that is the couples, who are going on dates."

  I ignored them and continued walking.

Next period passed, and it was finally PE, we all headed to the court, and play basketball, but we have here a different class, so today a battle with another class, well I don't care about this, I am not the type of teen who likes sport, so I just watched them at the bench.

  And so, a guy from the other class shoot a 3-point, all the girls cheer for him, and so I noticed, he was famous. As I was watching them, I noticed beside me, a girl watching him, this girl you can tell was an introverted kind.

  I feel that she was fallen toward that guy.

Suddenly she noticed me looking at her, I suddenly turned my head to the other side.

  After this, the PE finished, and so, it was the last period so, I headed back to change into my uniform, and leave the school ground, but as I was getting my shoe in my shoe locker, I turned around, and that girl earlier is behind me, and looking down at the ground, it's like she was shy to look at me, it's like she was shy.

  I asked her. "Do you need-" Suddenly she raised her voice, and cut my sentence.

"Pleased don't tell anyone about me looking at Takumi-kun earlier!" I see, I know if someone saw her, the other side will hate her for the norms, and that side will say to her. 'That gave up for that guy, your not suitable for each other.' That's what the girls on the other side will say to her.

I said to her. "Look, I don't care what I saw earlier, if that is what you want, your secret is safe."

  Suddenly she smiled and said this to me. "T-Then, I pay my debt, right now." She said to me and looked into this.

  In her eyes you can tell she was want to pay her debt, I want to decline, but I know she will be down if I do that, because she was willing right now. "Then, if you are willing to, how about we go to the café."

  And so, we walked towards the café I went with Shizuki, because this café is cheap but delicious, and good.

  As were walking, I asked her, her name. "My name is Asahi Kuromi, and you?"

"Oh, my name is, Himawari Retsu."

  "Himawari-san, Nice to meet you." I said to her.

"Nice to meet you too." And so she laughed. "My last name didn't suit me quite well right, Himawari means sunflower, but my appearance is opposite to it." She said to me.

  I replied to her. "Well for me, also Asahi means morning sun, and my appearance is opposite to it, it's like the sun doesn't want to come up, because the sun is too tired to see humanity."

  And so, we arrived.

  As we entered the café. "T-This place is awesome." Well, I know why because introverts like quiet and peaceful places, and times.

  Suddenly behind the register the barista, a student in our school, his father owned this café, and he was working, on it His name is Nagato Manobu.

  "Oh, Asahi-san, welcome, Oh, new girlfriend?" He said.

Suddenly Himawari becomes shy.

Suddenly I gave a sign to Nagato, that he was wrong. "Oh, it's just a joke. Hehe."

"Don't mind him, he is a comedian type of guy," I said to Himawari.

  And so, we sit.

Nagato takes our order.

  "Like usual." I said to him.

Himawari said her order, and so, our order has arrived.

Therefore, I took a sip of my cup of tea.

I said to her. "You like that guy from class 4 right."

Suddenly she nodded at me and said. "But, I know if I reveal my feeling for him, I am afraid to be hated by others, and I am afraid he might hate me."

  And so, I replied to her. "Then confess to him."

"EH! That's impossible! I just said why!" She said to me.

I replied to her. "Impossible how? We cannot tell the future, we only know it once we experience it, maybe if you confess he accepts you, or not it depends. But who is this guy anyway? Do you know him quite well, that you fell for him?"

  "His name is Takumi Takita, On the first day of school, I was new here in this city, so I forget the way to school, and he is the one who helped me to get here. And so, I know he is a wonderful guy."

I see, she fall for this guy. But her reason to fall, for me is not enough to recognize as love.

  "Then confess tomorrow, even if you get rejected, as long you become true to yourself, at least you try, you didn't back down, but you face it. And that's the best answer, rather than the yes because you surpass yourself. It takes more courage to confess than to back down, and if you confess means you are strong. Always remember heartbreak and death await us all." I said to her.

  And so, she was shocked about what I just said. "Asahi-kun, your romanticism sounds deep and dark." And so, she finds her confidence. "I get it now, I will try to confess tomorrow."

And so, I said to her. "That's the spirit of youth, if you get rejected, I consult you."

  She laughed at what I said.

They arrived, and Himawari made a letter to meet her at the school rooftop.

  But as I was about to leave the school, I stumbled Takumi group walking slowly to head to the shoe locker to leave the school. One of them asked Takumi some questions. "I heard you're going out with another woman, from a different school Takumi."

Takumi replied. "Not just one, I have 3 different girlfriends in different schools."

And so, I hurry up, to pass the.

  They noticed I heard them, and so, Takumi worried, one of his friends said to him "Don't worry about that guy, he doesn't care about rumors, even if he spread it no know will believe it because he doesn't reputation."

  I arrived at the shoe locker before them, I quickly opened Takumi's shoe locker and grabbed Himawari's letter.

I quickly get back inside and walked towards the tree behind the school.

  I saw Himawari looking opposite side, and she was calming herself, and mumbling something to herself to get confidence.

  I suddenly talked. "Himawari-san."

And so, she turned to face me. "Oh, what are you doing here Asahi-kun?"

  I said to her. "I heard about Takumi's true self, and I heard him talking about having so many affairs."

  Therefore, she reacted not shocked, maybe because she already knew she will get rejected.

"R-Really! Am glad I didn't confess yet, if I do that rumors will spread. Thank you for telling me this." She said and smiled at me.

  Her smiled, this kind of smile when you're hiding your true emotion deepest inside your chest.

But I didn't do anything about it, I just said to her. "Let's go to the café, with my other female best friends."

    And so, I inform the four of them, about the Himawari situation.

I have just known in love. Even if we do too much for love, just to paint the harsh reality, with our white lies, you can't still cover it whole. Like Takumi, he has so many affairs to feel good, but somewhere in life, it will just ruin him. The white lies he made to feel good about life, will strike him when or how.
