224 To give in again? (1/2)

Mika waited with pounding heart. Her eyes were wet with tears. She was scared this would be the end for their friendship. She did not want their friendship to end. She did not want to lose her.

”Mika, you have promised, ” Ryn said with a sigh.

Mika's mind quickly worked to remember what she promised to Ryn. She promised a lot of things. She thought she did not break any of them.

Run watched her friend digging into her memory and realized that Mika did not understand what she did that make her mad.

”Come.” She pulled Mika into the cafe. It was a hot day and when these two standing under the sky sweat began to wet their face and body.

Run chose the corner table to give them some privacy. Once she saw Mika has seated properly, Ryn stood up and went to buy her lunch. The selection was quite limited so Ryn just chose whatever that grabbed her attention.

She returned to Mika holding a tray of food. She did not say a word as she sat down and started to eat her lunch.

Mika looked at the chocolate shake Ryn chose for her. She chewed her lower lip nervously, already on the brink of another session of cry.

Once Ryn was done with her lunch, she pushed aside the empty plate and leaned her back against the chair. Her eyes looked at her nervous best friend and crossed her arms.

”Ryn...” Mika choked out, trying not to sob again.

Ryn simply cocked an eyebrow. She waited for Mika's next words.

”I don't want us to separate again,” Mika started to sob. She ignored the fact that they were in public. Even though now they were in a cafe, compared to before in the open, but it was still not private enough.

”Mika, stop crying,” Ryn ordered.

Mika quickly wiped her wet face with a tissue. She even blew her nose with the same tissue before handed it back to Ryn unconsciously.

”Seriously?” Ryn stared at her best friend.

Mika's wet eyes widened when she realized her mistake. She quickly stood up to throw the used napkin away.

Ryn sighed a bit. It seemed like she had to give in again... For the hundredth times.

When Mika returned, Ryn was thinking of how to tell Mika so she would understand it and this time she would understand the next time she did not think about her feeling, Ryn would rethink about their friendship.

Mika sucked her chocolate shake to control her emotion and steal some times. She must do something to change Ryn's mind of breaking their relationship. She did not want to lose her. Last time was enough.

”Mika,” Ryn started. She clasped both hands together and put them on the table. Her eyes were on Mika's face without blink.

”I think you need to understand what it means of being a friend,” Ryn said.
