Creativity is so confusing. This time, I was just brushing my teeth at night and a random idea popped into my head AGAIN. I think I like it, so I'll probably publish it. Wanna know what it's about? Not telling for now 😉

The only think you guys get to know is that it's a Shu Kurenai x Reader, in a soulmate AU.

Anyway, that's why I'll try to be more focused on this book's update more than usual from now on :)

The Next Day
Y/n's P.O.V:

Oh my god, I can't believe I finally realized. What hadn't I before? Why was I so blind?

Well, at least I know what I'm feelings now. I'm not confused anymore. Okay, maybe I'm still a little confused.

How exactly do I tell him that I like him?

And, if I do, what if... what if he just thinks of me as a friend? Of course that's okay, but I don't want the embarrassment. Guys, I'm no love expert.

Oh! Just as I said 'love expert', I thought of someone. Yume!

Of course, she isn't a love expert, but she's probably more... experienced? I can't find the right word for it. I guess it's just that she knows more about these things. Much more than I do.

I get my phone out of my pocket and call Yume's number.

> "Y/n! Hey!" <

"Hey. Yume, if I ask you for advice on this, you better not make fun of me okay?"

> "Gurl, I'm your bestie. Of course I won't make fun of you." <

"Alright. So, you know how I pretend-dated right? Well, now we're friends again, my parents still don't know though. Anyway, that's not the problem. The problem is... I think you were right. I-"

> "YOU LIKE HIM? I KNEW IT!" <

"Y-yes... but how do I tell him? And what if I get rejected and get embarrassed? Wait a second, I just realized I never told you his name."

> "Oh yeah. What is it?" <

"Shu Kurenai. Do you know him?"

There was silence. Either Yume was on mute, or she just stayed quiet.

"Hello?? You there?"

> "I-I...yeah. Sorry. Does he have white hair? Red eyes?" <

"Mhm. Wait, you know him?"

> "Well... I guess. He's my crush."

"Wait WHAT? So all those times you were talking about this guy you liked, you never mentioned his name?"

> "I did, plenty of times. Maybe you didn't hear." <

"True. Wait, then how come I've never seen him at school?"

> "We don't have any classes together. A d he doesn't sit near us at lunch either." <

"Oh... well..."

Now I'm even more confused! It was only yesterday I found out my true feelings, but now I found out that my bestie likes him. You know what? She can have him. I can't do this to her, she's my best friend and I need to have her back at all times.

"It's alright. You can have him."

> "No, Y/n, but-" <

"No buts, Yume. You're my best friend, and I don't want to ruin our friendship over a guy."

> "But now I feel so bad! From the start, I knew you liked him. And now, you're denying your feelings again. I'll let go of him Y/n." <

"Don't you dare! If you do, I'll make you step on Lego."

> "That's just cold, girl." <

"Okay, well, I'll be going now. Remember, you can have him okay? NO buts. He's yours. See ya."

I hung up before she could reply. Things were even more complicated now. But now I just have to let my feelings go away. It can't be that hard, right?

Then I suddenly got a text. It was from Shu.

'Meet me at the park tomorrow at 2. I need to tell you something,' it said.

I text back 'Alright, I'll be there.'

Plopping my body down on my bed, I sighed and put my phone away. This really shouldn't be that hard. Since when did I start caring about all these lovey dovey things anyway?

Wow, this update was really fast. And shorter than usual. I'm sorry. This seemed like a good place to end the chapter.

Cya! 🫶
