“Because of him, you were able to smile, like it’s normal…… I even thought his appearance was a blessing for you. But I was wrong. I’m so messed up. Even though you acted excited… you weren’t actually…….”

 

His voice cracked midway.

 

The veins on the back of his hand protruded as he clenched his fist tightly.

 

I barely gathered my senses back and gently put my hand on top of his hand.

 

Ah, this fool…….

 

No, I am the fool.

 

We were truly a match made in heaven.

 

“Don’t say that. You gave me the flower of glory. You knew about everything, and could have misunderstood me, especially when I lied to you.”

 

Indeed.

 

What I had wasn’t just the flower of glory.

 

The golden wreath held so much meaning to him, it was the reason why he decided to participate in the game, and a proof of all he had gone through.

 

“I’ve… believed that no one ever wanted me. And if something good happens, there would be bad things that follow suit. Because I’ve been living like that all my life…… Would you believe it if I say that I have lived with a mask all this time?”

 

While talking, I felt like my tongue was moving on its own.

 

I wasn’t even thinking of expressing my emotions in words, but it felt like the thoughts I’d buried deep inside were overflowing out today.
“I’m selfish because I always doubt everyone, and can’t help but be full of prejudice. I don’t have the will– misunderstandings never get cleared because I believe that no one would trust me. There’s nothing more I’m afraid of than being abandoned, but I’m selfish enough to push that fear back, and try my best to survive.”

 

“…….”

 

“I’m the one who is really messed up, Iz. Even if you did everything to prove yourself to me… I couldn’t trust you until the end. As a result, I hurt you.”

 

Izek finally dropped the hand covering his face and looked at me again.

 

Perhaps I was just imagining things, but it seemed that his glowing sharp eyes had gotten slightly wet.

 

Tears also welled up in my eyes.

 

“I… I really wanted to see you smile.”

 

“Iz…….”

 

“I wanted to see you happy……. I believed that one day, you wouldn’t cry anymore and only have a smile on your face… ”

 

His rough palm gently stroked my cheek.

 

As I leaned on him, clutching his arms tightly with both my hands, the sound of something cracking rang faintly.
