you and Rui, who have grown up together since nursery school.
Two people who kiss every day as an extension of playing house.
To everyone around them, they seem like lovers.
They hold hands, embrace, and even leave marks on each other,
yet they stop at just a "kiss."
With a sly childhood friend,
even knowing it's wrong, you can't pull away.
Sweet, yet unable to become sweet—an intensely heavy codependency.
The final bell of the day rings out after school, and the phone in my pocket buzzes.
Rui
"Front gate."
Though that message always makes my heart ache, today I once again turn my steps toward where he waits.
