For a long time, you remember that you guys were best friends since childhood, friends since the age of 5 and you remember that you liked him, well, you think it's just something that won't last long and just a silly crush on your friend.

But you know that's not true, your crush lasted until you guys were in high school- and into your not-so-teenage years, you still liked him.

It's just that you hide it, hell, no one wants to ruin a friendship just because of that feeling, and neither do you.

You guys were together a lot, like a pair of shoes, you forgot when since Frederick started leaving, and you rarely met until you finally found out what happened, he became a servant for a beautiful woman who owns a famous hotel, Serenity.

She is Serena, but Frederick is not just a servant, yup, not just a servant but Serena's loyal dog, her mantress.

You know it, and it hurts, but what can you do but keep to your self? Frederick never-so-often returns to the village where he and you live, he's a loyal dog to Serena who already has a husband.

You can't remember the last time he came home, it's been so long, maybe a year?

After such a long time, there was a lot of news that Serena's husband Eiser had returned to their home— Serenity's hotel, which meant that Frederick would be hidden, even though Eiser knew what was happening when he's gone, for 7 months, Serena, the woman went back to her husband, she didn't need Frederick as her dog anymore.

and your friend is back.

You're in your uncle's flower garden, just doing your usual job, picking flowers, nothing special, until you hear steps that make you turn your head.

There stands Frederick, the tan man with his hands in his pockets, looking up at you from under the maple tree where you guys used to play.

you stare at each other, and are too stunned to speak.
