A Cheeky Childhood Friend Found a Suicide Note I’d Written for Fun a Long Time Ago, and as a Result, She Suddenly Became Very Clingy and Wouldn’t Leave Me
-Fuyuki’s point of view-
“Yo, Fuyuki ! Let’s play again !”
“……You really came…….”
As he said yesterday, the boy who got the room wrong, Serito kun, came again today with a folding chess board.
“Hmm? Obviously. I don’t wanna win and run away, and I don’t wanna be beaten.”
“Fufu, I guess you’re right. Let’s play again.”
Yesterday’s blood vomiting was normal. I’ve gotten used to it, so now I can get up and talk normally.
And Serito kun is apparently on summer vacation right now. So he says that he will be here today and tomorrow, but I wonder if he will be okay.
As he promised, tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, and the day after that, he would blow away those worries. Next time and after that……
He continued to visit me.
One day, I was feeling good that I decided to play outside. But it was in the shade.
The sun was shining brilliantly and the rain was ear-piercing.
“It’s too hot, let’s go back in a little while.”
“Yes, that’s right. I’m an albino and ultraviolet rays are my worst enemy……”
I was about to take out my card case and start playing cards, when I suddenly felt the stares of others around me.
The main person looking at me was a kid about the same age as us, but because of my good hearing, I could hear him.
“She had hair like an old lady.”
“Her eyes are red and scary…..”
“If we get too close, we’ll catch the germs, so let’s get out of here !”
Boys are stupid creatures, aren’t they?
I let out a disappointed sigh and tried to ignore it, but Serito kun looked sullen.
“……Are they usually said things like that?”
“Yeah. It can’t be helped because they’re ignorant, pitiful, low-life creatures who don’t know what an albino is.”
“Aren’t you sad?”
“……At first, of course I was sad, but now, I don’t feel it anymore.”
“Hmm…”
That’s a lie.
To be honest, I’m still getting used to it and how much I cursed being born with this look.
I didn’t want him to worry about anything else, so I pretended I didn’t care, but he looked like he was thinking about something.
“Oh, s-speaking of which, have you ever heard of the sunflower fields at the bottom of the nearby cliffs?”
“Hm? I don’t know.”
I diverted the subject and tried not to let him think about my appearance anymore.
“It’s like a carpet of sunflowers there, it’s really beautiful. You can only see them from afar, but I’d love to have one as a cut flower someday……”
“You like sunflowers?”
“Yes, I do. They are the opposite of me. They are energetic and spontaneous…….. I like them because they are cheerful.”
“I see.”
After all, he looks like he’s thinking about something. Let’s stop going outside after all. From tomorrow onwards, it would be a good idea to shut myself up in my room.
I reflected on the situation and enjoyed the game again today.
–Three days later.
“Wha…..what…….!? W-what’s wrong, Serito kun !!?”
I was elated to see Serito kun for the first time in a long time, but I was so astonished by his transformed appearance that I almost vomited blood.
His hair had turned completely white and his eyes had turned red. And not only that, he was wearing bandages and crutches.
“You can bleach your hair ! Also, I got a colored contact and put it on ! !”
“What are you doing, really? W-who told you to do that !!?”
“My mom and my childhood friend’s dad got really mad at me. But when I told them what happened, they patted me on the head ! !”
“I-I see…..”
What in the world could have made him do this.
To answer this question, Serito kun said.
“You lied, didn’t you? The truth is, you really care about the way people look at you !”
“Ugh……”
“So you see, that’s half the sadness ! Those guys won’t even stop badmouthing you, so I’ll join you instead !”
“…..!!”
My heart involuntarily jumps and I feel happy, but I have to worry about him more than that.
“Oh, by the way ! What’s with those bandages and crutches?”
“Hehe, as a matter of fact. Ta-da ! ! !”
“Ah—“
What he took out of the big bag was a single sunflower.
“When I tried to go get it, I fell off a cliff. I only suffered a sprain !”
“W…..what are you doing ! ! What if you die ! ! !”
“Eh……b-but……. I just wanted to make Fuyuki happy…….”
I got emotional and raised my voice, and Serito kun shook his shoulders in shock before his voice became weak.
I’m glad he did this much for me. However, I can’t allow him to die before me, who will die soon anyway.
“I-I’m sorry…. I’m sorry, Fuyuki……!”
“If you’re going to die anyway….. I want you to commit suicide with me…”
“Fuyuki……?”
“Haa……. I’m not mad at you anymore ! I was so so happy ! !”
What a thing to have uttered.
I shook my head, feeling disgusted at my own ugliness.
“Um, suicide? Fuyuki, would you really be happy if I did that…?”
“Eh…….no, erm, um…..”
He says that with teary eyes.
That’s not good, Fuyuki. Words that takes advantage of people’s weak points…
However, my heart had long since fallen apart, and there was nothing I could do to stop it.
Even if I survives this, my life will be inflexible since I was born into a wealthy family. In that case, all the better… together with this person…
“Yes, that’s right,……. –When I’m ready, will you join me?”
It was a midsummer day.
The cicadas were buzzing and the clouds were swimming in the blue blue sky. On such a day…..
“Okay. Promise ! !”
We made a promise to each other.

“……And, well, here we are.”
By the time I finished telling Kaori san the beginning of our relationship, I had finished my cup of tea.
“Oh……. I remember that there was a white-haired Serito who upset my dad….”
“Well, it was a long time ago. Fufu, I remember every word he said back then.”
It was after that appointment that we wrote our suicide note together. I felt guilty about him writing it without knowing why…….
After we finished talking like that, he came back just in time.
“Phew. My stomach ache has finally stopped.”
“Welcome back, Serito kun.”
“Oh. What were you talking about?”
“The beginning of my relationship with Serito kun♡
“Ah. I-I see……..”
Serito kun has a capricious, cat-like personality that most people don’t get along with. However, he also has a dog-like side that will do anything for those he likes.
Truly, he is a wonderful person to be with. I’m so glad that the gentleman I fell in love with is him.
If there is still a chance, I will get him. I will not give up.
“Now that Serito kun has returned……let’s play another game of suicide♪”
