X Dynasty~Along The Cherry Blossoms, Only With You

Kai's POV

I wake up, checking if everything happened yesterday was just a dream. But...Truth to be told, we can't be together anymore....

There's no such things as reasons

It simply just danced and faded

I don't know where did I went wrong, all I do is to love the woman I love dearly and cherish her forever.

But for some reason, her parents set us apart. They broke us...They want her to get married to the prince of X Dynasty, prince Ruka.

'Why can't we live like a normal couple and be together for how long we want?...'

That's the only thought in my mind right now while doing my daily routine.

The words I want to tell you are

still shaking inside me

Ah

I want her to be with me forever, I want to tell her that we could run away if she want...But probably she will not allow it.

My promise, the words I want to tell..The feelings that I want to express to her are here, still inside of me. I want to let them out and just let them go but I just couldn't. They are still shaking inside me after what happened yesterday.

'Yeah, we can't be together forever...I couldn't give her a better life. But,..I couldn't just forget her and let her go.'

As I walk to the mountainside to collect myself there, I walk-passed the cherry blossom tree where we build our relationship and plans for the future...But that future will never come.

---Flashback---

(2 years ago)

I decided to love you and only you

"On this day, I promise to love Nana and only Nana!" I shouted happily on the top of mountain as I realized what feeling was that.

Yes, the feelings are called love!

I decided to protect you and only you

Even if I am not sure if she likes me back or not, I will still love her and only her.

Ought to protect her even if it will cost my life...

And promised to the moon that I will do everything for her.

---Flashback end---

I couldn't stop the tears from falling down....

But I can't be the one to do it anymore

Goodbye, goodbye

All that promise...It was just shattered yesterday, the day that I hope to never come.

"Goodbye...." Those words came out from my mouth that I will never regret to say.

It may be a painful word for the both of us but this goodbye is not our end.

This goodbye is just the beginning of our chapter--The lovers' chapter.

Those memories will remain inside me forever, those memories were the memories I can't loose...I will cherish it even in my next life...

I decided to walk away and continue to walk around the mountain to collect myself and start over again....Start over again with the memories of my lover and find a way to be with her....

Like the cherry blossoms falling

Your voice goes distant

But I stopped, I decided to watch the falling cherry blossom petals. It's beautiful, as beautiful as the falling cherry blossom petals few years ago, where I started to fall too...To fall for the woman that I can't have forever.

While watching them peacefully, I heard a very familiar voice fading away.

"I love you, Kai....I am waiting for you to save me from them....I will wait for you, even if it will take a thousand years...."

It sounds like Nana's voice.

I look around to see if it was Nana. But unfortunately, all that I can see was a bunch of tall trees and fragments of cherry blossom petals falling from its branch. Nothing more, nothing less.

'I think it was just my hallucination, she can't be here. But I wish she's here, to watch those cherry blossom petals sway away peacefully....To have a talk and cuddle with me everyday...'

Nana's POV

I wake up in a mess that I can't fix easily. My face is a mess right now due to crying....

My life and mind is in mess right now....

Deciding to fix myself, I escaped to our house and go to cherry blossom tree where I found my first love and build my future plans with the man I cherish the most.

Beyond these shaking feelings

By the time I knew I can't reach you anymore

I reached the cherry blossom tree, I spot Kai over there....But I couldn't just go to him and hug him.

Why?

'If I hug him now, I know he will not let go of me...And so do I. So, it's better to just watch him here or else it might hurt our feelings...'

Ah

It should have been me hugging only you, living with you

Why does it hurt...watching your love ones staring blankly and thinking deeply? And letting them break apart?

Why do I need to follow all the orders of my parents? I don't want to get married to a prince! I only want Kai...and him only.

It should have been me hugging only you, crying with you

I noticed that tears started to stream down on his face. I want to kiss those tears away and whisper lovely nothings on his ear but I just couldn't...

So I just cried with him from afar, watching him to break down with me...

But I can't say 'I like you' now

Goodbye, goodbye

My hands are now tied, my soul and body belongs to a prince now. I can't do anything I want now...I can't say the three magic words to Kai now....

Goodbye, was all I can say after all....

"I love you, Kai....I am waiting for you to save me from them....I will wait for you, even if it will take a thousand years...." I said while walking away, hoping that moment will come.

--------------

They decided to collect their selves and start over again with the memories of each other. They are only memories but it is the most important thing to them....

I decided to love you and only you

From this day, they decided to love each other even if they are separated to each other.

Separated from each other in a small distance yet so far away for their hearts...

I decided to protect you and only you

Protecting each other from the world full of sadness....

But I can't be the one to do it anymore

Goodbye, goodbye

They can't be together anymore but they will find a way to be together again.

All they can do is to say goodbye for now.

But soon enough, they'll find a way to rejoin those broken feelings...

Like the cherry blossoms coming for a new season

We passed on like the new seasons

If they are like those cherry blossoms that they admire, then they are looking forward for the next season where they can admire and appreciate those flowers again.

I can't say 'I like you' anymore

'I can't say "I like you, I love you" anymore but please let those memories stay forever...Our relationship might be as short as the life span of a cherry blossom flower but our memories and feelings for each other will be like those evergreen trees...' They tought as they started to walk away, hoping they could be together again.

I'm sorry, thank you

Goodbye, goodbye

'I'm sorry for everything..I couldn't protect you. I'm so pathetic...And thanks for the two years of memories. I will cherish it...Goodbye for now...'-Kai.
