Two Girls in a Boy's Host Club

Chapter 15: Goodbye

Kaoru felt as if the world had came to a stand still. He cold not believe his ears. Engaged? Yuki looked slightly embarrassed. Kaoru wanted to slap himself. It was like a nightmare. He shook his head hard.

"No…It's…it's not true right?" Kaoru asked. "Kaoru," Yuki began. "Why? Why didn't you tell me sooner?" Tears fell from his eyes. "Kaoru, I wanted to tell," Yuki desperately shook his arm. Kaoru coldly pushed her away. "When I tried to hold your hand, you held mine firmly. When I kissed you, you didn't object. When I hugged you, you didn't push me away."

Yuki was silent. "Why do you keep playing with my feelings?" Kaoru asked. "I've been true to my feelings towards you, Yuki. How do you feel about me?" Kaoru was not angry, just upset. "Kaoru…" Yuki could not utter a word. "So, who is the guy you're gonna marry?" "Remember Fred from the club? I'm getting married to him," Yuki replied.

Kaoru swore under his breath. "Lucky idiot, so, Jin, he won't kill him or anything?" "No. You know, my mom, came back to look for me a few days ago. She suggested I get married with her nephew. Well, her nephew is Fred and strangely, Jin and Fred were best friends in high school so…" "They both wanted you to marry him," Kaoru guessed.

Yuki nodded. "We know what they want. What about you, Yuki?" Kaoru asked. "Kaoru, stop asking me these hard questions! All these years, I've been thinking, how's mom? Is she fine? Is mom leading a happy life? I really want her to be happy. Jin, this is the first time he's actually allowed a man to be close to me,"

"Yeah, they'll be happy. What about you? Can you be happy spending the rest of your life with a man you don't love?" Kaoru asked. He held her hands. " I don't want you to regret the choice you made," He said. "Kaoru, Fred is a kind guy," Yuki tried to smile. "Do you love him?" Kaoru asked.

Without warning, the rest of the hosts came running towards them. "Yuki, are you really going to marry Fred?" Haru asked. Yuki nodded. "Yuki-chan, think carefully before making such a major decision!" Hunny begged. The rest nodded. "How did you guys know?" Yuki asked.

"Jin called me just now, please, think carefully," Haru pleaded. "I'm marrying Fred," Yuki said. Haruhi slapped Yuki. "Yuki Lee! That's what your mouth says, you want to marry him. What does your heart says?" She asked. "The same thing," Yuki said. "We can see through your acting, I'm sorry, but even though I'm your best friend, I won't give you my blessings,"

The hosts nodded in agreement. "Guys, is it so wrong to marry Fred?!" Yuki asked. Kaoru stood in front of Yuki. "Tell me, right here and now. Do you love me?" Yuki turned away from him. "No," Kaoru grabbed her hand. "Look into my eyes and tell me the truth. If you say you don't love me, I won't ever disturb you again. Yuki struggled to look into Kaoru's eyes. "Kaoru… I-I don't .. I don't love you!" A sad smile came to Kaoru's face. "Goodbye," He turned to walk away. The others, including Haru walked off.

"Yuki?" Haruhi grabbed her hand. "You still have a choice. I believe you will do the right thing," Haruhi smiled weakly as she turned to walk away. As Kaoru walked back to his room with the others, he sang:

I shouldn't love you but I want to,I just can't turn away, I shouldn't see you but I can't move.I can't look away...

(Repeat ^)And I don't know how to be fine when I'm not,'cause I don't know how to make a feeling stop

(Chorus)Just so you know,This feeling's taking control of me and I can't help it,I won't sit around; I can't let him win now,Thought you should know,I've tried my best to let go of you. But I don't want to, I just gotta say it all Before I go, Just so you know...

It's getting hard to be around you,There's so much I can't say,Do you want me to hide the feelings, and look the other way?

And I don't know how to be fine when I'm not,'cause I don't know how to make a feeling stop

(Chorus)[Bridge]This emptiness is killing me,And I'm wondering why I've waited so long,Looking back I realize, It was always there just never spoken.I'm waiting here...Been waiting here(Chorus)
