....keep my smile in your heart Embrace every minute of us Let love work gently in my heart and yours...

My phone's ringing sounded. I looked up from the pile of textbooks in front of me. In a few days there will be an exam. So I have to read late like this almost every night.

The screen shows a picture of the person calling. I immediately felt my heart pounding.

1:38 a.m.

....keep my smile in your heart Embrace every minute of us Let love work gently in my heart and yours...

My phone's ringing sounded. I looked up from the pile of textbooks in front of me. In a few days there will be an exam. So I have to read late like this almost every night.

The screen shows a picture of the person calling. I immediately felt my heart pounding.

"What's up?" I whispered into the phone. I tried to keep my voice as refreshing as possible, even though I was really sleepy.

[Rit....hug] The voice on the other end of the line was filled with sobs. I don't feel good at all. What's wrong with you?

"Umm, is something wrong? Why are you crying?" I replied. My head was feeling chaotic right now, thinking about many different things.

[Rit...Pot him...he..huhu huh]

"Why Um? What did Pott do? Tell Rit." I couldn't help but feel anxious.

[Pot left him and carried him away. Pot has someone else. Rit huh huh.....] The voice on the other end of the line answered. In the voice of someone with a broken heart

Potter, or Pot as friends in the group like to call each other, and Um, the two of them are a couple. And they are a very suitable pair. Because they're both good looking. The three of us are in the same group. When I dropped out of school for 2 years and came back to study. These two are my closest friends. But lately

Pot and Aum always have problems, arguing often. When the pot represents the university Enter the Good Ambassador Project contest Therefore, there are many girls in the university who know about POT. And there are always girls courting Pot.

“Calm and sweet. Are you sure about this?” I tried to comfort her. I don't want her to suffer any more than this.

[Aum saw it with his own eyes. Pot, he went to eat with that girl alone. When I carried him in, I asked. Pot said that Aum thinks too much. Then he said that if we're going to be together and we don't trust each other like this, then it's better to break up. Hee hee hee. What did I do wrong? Why did Pot do this to Um?]

Why would Potter do this? There are already good people on hand. How can you go back and look for other people who still don't know the temperament of people well? He's gone too far. I feel very angry at Potter.

"Calm down, Aum. Where are you now?" I asked. Because I felt the sound of a strong wind blowing into my phone.

[I'm in the park in the university. Hee hee]

It's already this late. Um is still there. I felt worried and picked him up.

“Okay, then hold Rit there. Ritt will go pick you up in just a moment. Don't go anywhere yet."

I said it to the other end of the phone. Before opening the closet, he pulled out a coat and put it on. and quickly drove to find Um who was still sitting in the university.

Until I drive there The raindrops are falling down I carried a flashlight that I had taken from the car. Running into the park to look for Um, I found her. Um was really still sitting there, the rain pouring down. causing her school shirt to cling to the flesh So I quickly took off my robe and covered it for her.

“Um, hurry up and get to the car. It's about to rain heavily." I gasped, taking her body to stand up. One hand carried her cloth bag. I immediately half walked, half ran to my car.

I opened the car door on the driver's side. Pushing her body into a sitting position Put both of her feet in the car. Open the back door Throw her cloth bag in and put it away. before rushing to the driver's side

“Um, are you hungry?” I asked her when I got into the car. I started the engine and turned on the air conditioner gently because I was afraid I would get cold.

She shook her head gently in denial. Since entering the car Aum didn't say a single word.

"I'll go take you to the dorm right now," I said before using my left hand to move the gear lever and prepare to start the car.

He held out his hand and clung to that hand of mine.

“Rit Aum doesn't want to go back yet. I don't want to be alone. Rit, can you please stay with me as a friend?" Her expression and eyes were pleading. I sighed heavily.

"Okay, okay, then Rit will just keep driving," I said before moving the car out of the university.

The rain continued to fall down incessantly. It's like knowing that right now there are people who are hurting because of love. I'm crying loudly. I look at the road ahead. and turned to look at him from time to time. He was lying down and leaning on the seat. His eyes wandered off to the side of the road.

"Rit..." she called me.

"um"

“Have Rit ever been heartbroken?” Aum suddenly asked me.

“Yes,” I replied, my eyes still focused on the path ahead.

“So what do you do?” she continued to ask.

"Just find a new boyfriend. It's easy. If you have a new boyfriend, you'll forget it in a moment."

I told her honestly. Not taking anything seriously, even though the truth in my heart was very painful. When I found out that Aum had agreed to be Pot's girlfriend not long before I went back to school.

[Why didn't we return to school sooner?] That was my thought at that time.

“It's as simple as that, isn't it? Did Rit forget him that easily?” She turned to ask me, her eyes full of surprise.

[It's not easy at all. Because Rit never forgets to carry him] That's the answer in my opinion.

“It might be difficult in the beginning, but why do we yearn for him? When he never valued us at all. Wouldn't it be better if we paid attention to the people who truly love us?" I told her.

“Why is Pot so mean? When Pot and I got to know each other before agreeing to date It wasn't a short time at all, but meeting other people for only a few minutes. Why did his pot change like this? Huh huh?”

He buried his face in his palms. before sobbing again I reached into my pants pocket. He took out a handkerchief and handed it to her.

“Um, don't cry. Wipe away your tears. Tears are worth more than losing them to that person who doesn't love you well.”

She took my handkerchief and wiped away my tears. But he still doesn't seem to stop crying. My heart almost broke. Her hair fell all over her face, covering her eyes. I parked the car next to the bridge. before reaching out to grab her hair away from her beautiful face

“Um, Um, look at yourself in the mirror,” I told her before pushing down the sun visor on the driver's side. Then open the glass cover.

She did as I told her easily.

“Do you see the person in the mirror? Look, do you look ugly? Your hair is unkempt, your eyes are puffy, and you can't find any hint of beauty or cuteness at all,” I told her.

Um smiled a little. before turning and placing his hand on my shoulder.

"Crazy Rit"

“Smile and smile and hold me, you know? When you hold me, smile. It's like the whole world is blooming, so bright,” I told her, smiling.

“Wow, Rit,” she turned and glared at me. before reaching into the bag Picking up a folded comb, he gently combed her hair.

"We'll comb it for you."

I told her before turning her around. Then I gently combed her hair. The faint scent of her hair filled my nose. I took it for granted when she was unintentional. Picked up some of her hair and sniffed it.

“Um…” I called her softly.

"um"

“Do you feel better now?” I asked her.

"yeah"

“Then let's go back. It's already late,” I told her. Looking at the car clock, it was already three in the morning.

"yeah"

I kept driving along the road. We didn't talk any more after that. The entrance to Um's dormitory is not that far away. But in front of Um's dormitory There was a very familiar car parked across the road.

“Pot”

A soft voice exclaimed. After a while, the owner of the car opened the door and stood outside the car. Potter's expression was very nervous.

“Um,” I called her softly.

She didn't answer, but her eyes stared intently at Potter. Instead, he was afraid that Potter might disappear again.

“We have something to tell you.”

"what"

“Don't ever go back to Pott again. We don't want to see you hurt again," I told her in a pleading tone. The look in his eyes was full of concern for her.

Aum turned around and stared at my face. I don't know what's going on in her head right now.

“Um, Rit, I love you.”

Finally, I confessed my feelings. I know it's inappropriate for me to tell Um at this time. When you're weak and confused But I don't have a choice. I don't want to lose it to Pot again. This is my chance.

"Rit...Rit what do you mean?"

Aum turned to look at my face. He couldn't believe what he was hearing.

“Rit loves Aum, Aum, do you hear that? I love you,” I told her over and over, hoping she would appreciate it.

"Rit....I'm glad to hear this," Aum told me. I had the feeling that the whole world turned pink. I smiled, my mouth wide until it reached my ears.

“But Aum probably couldn't accept that feeling. Aum loved Pot. Aum couldn't break up with him. Rit understands Um."

At this moment, I felt like someone was hitting my head with a heavy hammer. In my heart, it felt like someone was cutting with a knife.

I was stunned for a moment. At this time, Um began to cry again.

“It's okay, Um. Rit just wants to tell Rit her feelings for Aum to know."

I tried to hold back the sobs in my heart. so that there would be no difficulty in escaping the sound

“But no matter what, we will continue to be friends, Rit. Um, thank you for everything that has passed.”

When Potter didn't see him take him out of the car. So he walked in and opened the car door on the carrying side.

“Um...Pot is sorry. The pot has gone wrong. Um, forgive Pot."

Potter knelt down and asked Um for forgiveness, and that was it. Um rushed into Potter's embrace willingly.

I slowly moved the car away from Um's dormitory as I looked in the rearview mirror. I saw Aum and Potter hugging each other as if no one could tell the two of them apart. I raised my left hand and twisted the glass to face the other direction. I don't want to see

Manly tears flowed slowly. I reached out and turned on the radio. The sound of a song drifted away.
