Can't Let Go

by ItsLolmaniac

Summary:

After being rescued from the countless bullying he had endured throughout his life, Goh was eternally thankful and looked up to his hero. Growing up together was equally the best and worst thing to happen. On one hand, he had a lifelong friend that would defend him in his time of need. The other, he wanted something more from it, as he grew feelings for his friend after spending years upon years together. But would his friend even reciprocate the feelings, let alone continue their friendship out of discomfort? Or are the feelings actually mutual, and his friend wants more as well?

Chapter 1: Prologue

It’s been a while. No, scratch that. It’s been six months since you left. Life hasn’t been the same ever since that day. I remember it clearly. I couldn’t tell what was more scarring: you shouting all those things or how our friendship ended. I wish I could go back and fix everything, but you said it yourself. Life just always has a plan, even if it isn’t what you want or expect. I hope that wherever you are, you’re a lot happier without me.

Can I even begin to wonder what could’ve happened if we actually kept in touch? I don’t. But yet, I still can’t let go of these what-if’s. I yearn for the day we could be reunited, but that’s just unrealistic. You sent me that message six months ago. It would be incredibly foolish if I tried to meddle with it.

Still, you’ll always be in my memories until the day I die.

Thank you, regardless. I might not be able to love you the way that was hoped for, but I’ll always have a spot for you in my heart…
