In My Second Life, I'll Do Everything To Win You Over—My Beloved Childhood Friend Will Never Be Given To Anyone Else - Episode 2

Today is Nagisa’s wedding.

The invitation arrived, and without a second thought, I marked my attendance and sent it back.

I was told that the only person who could give the representative speech for friends was Momoka, so I immediately agreed.

It wasn’t her dream wedding venue, but Nagisa was laughing, saying she found a nice venue for the price.

If it were me, I could have booked the dream venue, and I could have arranged for a more expensive wedding dress.

I understand. At least I know it’s not that kind of thing.

But I can’t help but imagine.

If I could walk next to Nagisa, who is dressed up the most beautifully in her life.

“I should probably leave the house soon.”

♡

Inhale deeply with a “suu.”

The warm summer air filled my lungs.

Today is August 25th. They really wanted to have the ceremony on the anniversary, so it seems they decided to have the wedding one year after the engagement.

For Nagisa, today is undoubtedly the best day of her life.

And today, my life ends.

I’ve thought about it a lot, but this is my limit.

I couldn’t accept Nagisa’s marriage.

“Alright”

Crossing the pedestrian bridge railing.

Before anyone comes, I need to jump down quickly.

“Nagisa, I’m sorry. I can’t make it to the wedding.”

I wonder what kind of face Nagisa, who is full of happiness, will make when I don’t come to the wedding.

I wonder what they would think if they heard that I died.

May August 25th not be an anniversary with her husband or the day of their once-in-a-lifetime wedding, but the anniversary of her best friend’s death for Nagisa.

If I can’t be loved the most, then at least let me be Nagisa’s biggest wound.

The letter addressed to Nagisa was written last night.

Even though I had a lot to say, I couldn’t organize my thoughts well, and in the end, it turned into a very short letter.

“Nagisa, I love you.”

That’s all.

I’m sorry, Nagisa.

I love you so much.

I closed my eyes tightly. While imagining the face of the person I love more than anyone else, I jumped off the pedestrian bridge.

♡

“Momoka, Momoka, wake up!”

I was jolted awake by my mother’s loud voice, and the moment I woke up, I was confused.

This is your family home, right?

Why? I should have jumped off the pedestrian bridge…

As I stood there in a daze, unable to move, the door to the room opened and my mother walked in.

“It’s the entrance ceremony, so you can’t be late.”

The face of my mother when she said that was quite youthful. Recently, my mother has been aging, and her hair has become much whiter.

Is this a dream?

“What’s wrong, you look spaced out. Are you not feeling well, Momoka?”

With a worried look on her face, my mother approached and gently placed her hand on my forehead.

Looking at my mother as she murmured, “You don’t seem to have a fever,” my heart tightened.

How sad would Mom be if she knew I had committed suicide?

“It’s okay. I just zoned out for a bit.”

“Oh really? That’s good to hear. Breakfast is already ready, so get dressed and come down.”

“Yeah, got it.”

As soon as my mother left the room, I went in front of the full-length mirror.

The person reflected in the mirror looks quite young. It’s almost as if I’m back in high school.

“Could it be that I’ve gone back to the day I started high school…?”

The high school is within walking distance from home, and Nagisa is with me.

From the second year of high school, we ended up in different classes, but in the first year, we were in the same class.

And then, Nagisa meets her future husband, Yuki Kusakabe, at this high school.
