We ...

Many people say that falling in love is not wrong. All beings have the right to feel love. It's not wrong to fight for love, until the end. It's not something wrong if love can or can't be reciprocated.

However, why should Reo get social punishment? He just fell in love, and tried to fight for his love. Although the idol of the heart is called unusual if it is Reo who loves him.

Reo, a handsome man who deserves to be happy. A human being who has the right to choose the path of his life. He also continued to convince himself that this was the right choice after a bitter incident a few years ago. A choice that led Reo to become a man who has same-sex attraction.

The sound of a car horn honked Reo out of his thoughts. He looked annoyed at the driver of the car who was walking towards him with a flat expression on his face.

"That sucks! Why did you come to surprise me?" Reo murmured, unable to relieve his annoyance.

The man in front of Reo just chuckled softly. He clutched his chest. "I like it when you're angry. Cute like a kitten."

Instead of getting angry, Reo turned enthusiastic. The glint in Reo's eyes showed that there was a hidden hope behind him.

"You like me?" Reo asked again. The man with a graceful body stature rose to his feet. He walked over and put his arm around Jack's shoulder. "Let's be My boyfriend!"

Jack glared in disgust. He slapped Reo's hand that was embracing him. Then punched Reo hard in the stomach, until the victim winced in pain.

"Don't be crazy, Reo! We're men, and it's impossible for the same sex to date. Disgusting!" Imagining that he and Reo were dating already made Jack nauseous. What more if he really is dating this same-sex friend. Crazy!

Reo glanced cynically at Jack. "Who says it's impossible? Many of my friends are dating the same sex."

"Your friends have gone mad!" said Jack.

"You're going crazy too, Jack. If you forget, I still consider you a friend."

Jack widened his eyes. He rubbed his chest to neutralize the pounding of anger that might annihilate a creature like Reo right now.

"So from now on, don't ever think of me as your friend. I don't want to be loved by the same sex. That's ... really disgusting!"

Jack drove away in the car he was driving. Leaving Reo who is dead with lice with a million pieces of destruction in his feelings.

Reo looked sadly leaving Jack. He said falling in love is never wrong. However, why is the feeling that Reo is experiencing is considered wrong, and disgusting? Worse yet, the one who said that openly was Jack, the idol of the heart for the past two years.

"Jack, I'm always trying to get to you. It doesn't matter how you look at me, because I really love you."

***

Jack couldn't understand Reo's attitude lately. Reo was like a man Jack no longer knew. Even though it has been ten years the friendship between the two is fine. Unfortunately, their relationship soured when Reo said he was gay.

A shock that could render Jack speechless. Especially when Reo accompanied his words by saying, "I like you, Jack. Do you want to be my boyfriend?"

Crazy. Just in Jack's lifetime, he found someone who liked and even invited the same sex to have a closer relationship than friendship. This is also exacerbated when he finds out that Reo, his own best friend, has experienced this deviant sexual activity.

"Reo … you shouldn't be gay. There are a lot of girls out there that you always want to date, but why did you choose me? Obviously, obviously, I'm your same sex, Reo."

Jack stopped the steering wheel. He screamed in frustration. Hitting the steering wheel repeatedly, trying to shake off a feeling that was hard to define in his feelings.

Seeing Reo who has that difference makes him sad. Seeing the sad look that Reo had shown to him some time ago made Jack couldn't bear it.

Should Jack be willing to be gay for Reo?

Jack shook his head. Get rid of that crazy thought. "There's no way I'd risk my pride for that damn Reo!"

Jack took a shaky breath. One hand turned to take a bottle of mineral water in the front drawer of the car. Then opened it, and gulped the water in the bottle in one gulp.

"Reo ... I love you, but unfortunately this is only limited to being a friend. Not sadly what do you want. To be a gay couple?" Jack chuckled softly. "That's really crazy."

"Reo, don't be such a pitiful man." mumbled Jack and drove the car back.

His mind was racing. All things about Reo's condition were at war in his mind. However, it was impossible for Jack to remain lost in thought, thinking about Reo. Because on this sunny morning, there is one most important thingris ignored Jack. The closing time for the school gates ended in less than five minutes.

***

Late. The school gates were tightly closed due to the behavior of the security guards in the school area. An annoyed grunt echoed around.

Of the various grunts, only Reo remained standing still. He stared lazily at the closed gate and then turned around. Intends to leave the school area. Because after all, there is no chance for all students to be late at Oxygen High School.

However, something then diverted his intentions. A maroon red sedan. No, it's not the car that attracts the Moreo's attention, but the driver of the car itself.

"Jack!" Reo runs. Approaching the existence of Jack who was standing right in front of his car.

Reo's breath hitched. Then the man calmed his breath as he bent down. After a while, Reo ended with a sigh of relief.

"Jack, are you late too?"

"As you can see." answered Jack curtly. He crossed his arms and looked at Reo from bottom to top.

Reo, who was stared at by Jack, became embarrassed himself. He wanted to act like a cat-shy girl, but him conscience still told her that this was a public place. This is not the place to show the abnormality of a Reonald Smith.

"What are you doing, Jack? I'm embarrassed, here." Reo spoke candidly to Jack.

Jack laughed softly. Laughter that made Reo's feelings hunt great. The man who had been friends with Jack for a long time could no longer hold his heart beating.

"Jack ..." Reo whined like a five year old.

"What the hell? Don't act like this, Reo. You shouldn't be like this." said Jack, giving a subtle understanding to Reo.

Reo sighed in exasperation when he realized what Jack was talking about. "Jack, this is my choice. My way of life. So, as much as I want to do anything. You have no right to rule my life!"

"Then don't involve me in your life! You think I'm not ashamed to have a friend like you? A gay! You're weird, and crazy, Reo!" Jack spoke spontaneously, but still it hurt Reo's feelings.

It hurt to hear what Jack said. Reo's heart was shattered, shattered. He wanted to cry, but the tears still knew a place.

Reo gave a faint smile. "What you said a few seconds ago was spicier than a level hundred chili sauce!"

"What I said is true, Reo." Jack defended himself.

"Notable! What you say is true, but I'm not weird, and crazy. I'm just a different man like you, Jack." Reo confirmed that his hair was blown by the wind. "You may sever our friendship, but you will never be allowed to force me to let go of these feelings for you."

Reo took four steps back. Her gaze met Jack's. Before finally Jack chose to break eye contact with both of them.

"One thing you know, Jack. I am who I am, for a reason."

After saying that, Reo walked away. Leaving Jack frozen, soaking in the words that came out of his best friend's mouth.

"Reo, if I can't help you heal, then can I be a gay like you?"
