Part 6: The Cruel Love

A few years ago, if someone told me that “a man and a woman living together for a long time will inevitably develop feelings for each other”, I would not hesitate to retort: “It is a myth, no have a scientific basis!” Well, of course, with my timid personality, I will not directly object to that person, but inwardly I will not submit. But at the present time, I have begun to believe in that seemingly absurd statement!

Being with Uyen all day and night started to make my heart flutter a little. Honestly, I don't know if this is the romantic love between man and woman that other people say, because I see some differences. To accurately describe how I feel right now, maybe I should use the phrase “romantic love between two girls” instead. Yes, my heart flutters for Uyen, but as a girl. I want Uyen to be my boyfriend, and I will be the little girl in her arms. This sounds a bit ridiculous, doesn't it?

At first, I was always extremely cautious when I was around Uyen. Everyone knows why. This girl has a personality and style very similar to a guy, but for some reason, she hates guys. Every male fighter in the Golden Dojo has probably experienced the suffering that Uyen caused. Of course, I'm not one of them, because ever since she joined the Golden Dojo, I've never been a “male fighter”!

However, at the present time, being with her, I have a very peaceful and comfortable feeling. Perhaps the reason is that up until now, I have never experienced the feeling of being protected. For the first time in my life, I felt that being a pretty girl was not a bad thing. Thinking back to the time when I was a bully, I feel so stupid! That didn't bring me any joy at all. All I got was fake respect from boys my age. That stupidity even left me with a heavy psychological obsession because I was crushed by someone I thought was weak.

My time as a shy person didn't make me happy either. No one feels happy living in a heavy psychological obsession. But now, it's all different! I can confirm that I am living the happiest days of my life. Dressing up girly and being a little girl protected by other is a wonderful thing! I even regret why I didn't do this sooner.

Women's clothing and accessories are addictive. I used to feel extremely uncomfortable disguising myself as a girl to serve the common good of the dojo. After a few months of adjusting to a girl's life, I could hardly live without the cute costumes that Uyen bought me. Many days of hanging out with Uyen, I also began to form female hobbies such as shopping, holding Uyen's hand on the street, having cakes and tea every afternoon at a cute cafe for girls... My mind and body are now no different from that of a girl.

The only thing that's different is the “love”. Unlike other girls, I have never been in a relationship with a guy, but I have fallen in love with a girl who looks like a guy. If it wasn't for Uyen, I certainly would never have felt the way I said. Uyen was an important factor that changed my life. Talking to her helped me release the psychological tension. Sleeping on her thigh gives me peace of mind. How warm it was to sit on her lap!

I know, Uyen only sees me as a little sister, but I can't see her as an elder sister! I want her to be with me for the rest of my life! Every time I can be a happy girl next to Uyen, a worry arises in my heart at the same time, because my current life is just an unreal fantasy. No matter how much I look like a girl, I'm still a guy. One day, the truth will be revealed. The day Uyen realized that the girl she always cared about and was close to was a guy, the “creature” she hated the most, that was the day my beautiful dream ended.

If possible, I would rather live with this illusion than face the cruel reality that awaits me. But that will never happen. Illusions will always be illusions! Having feelings for Uyen is a happy thing for me, but behind it is also the extreme pain. What will I do when that day comes? Should I let things happen naturally, or should I take the initiative to expose the truth to her? I didn't want to cheat on the person I loved, but I was afraid to face the prospect of her loathing and hating me.

It's been almost a year since this story began, and you know what's about to happen? Yes, the CSW Championship will officially open in the next few days. All members of the Golden Dojo train hard to prepare for the most important event for the country's martial artists. I and Uyen are no exception, because we are the defending champions of this tournament.

In order to return to my male form and compete in the CSW Championship, my parents arranged for me to be absent. In the middle of a private martial arts training session between me and Uyen, Uyen asked: “Aren't you going to register for the CSW Championship? It's every fighter's dream tournament. All the trainees in our dojo are registered to attend.” I shook my head: “No! I have to go abroad to deal with some unfinished business.” Uyen expressed regret: “What a pity! If you join, I'm sure you'll get that high rank!” I smiled without saying anything.

The next morning, Uyen and I were at the city bus station. Uyen hugged me and said: “Remember to take care! If someone bullies you, give me a call right away. Wherever I am, I will be with you! If it weren't for the upcoming CSW Championship, I'd definitely go with you!” I waved goodbye: “Thank you! Bye bye!” Just when I was about to turn away, Uyen suddenly grabbed one of my arms and pulled me closer to her. Then she put a kiss on my lips.

I'm totally stunned! My body became stiff. Ignoring my surprise, Uyen said: “I will never fall in love with a man. I wouldn't love a girl either. But… I love you… only you! If you don't like it, I won't mention it anymore. We will still be good friends.”

I lowered my head so that Uyen couldn't see the expression on my face. I'm feeling very guilty. My unrequited love, though painful, is still much softer than this love that comes from both sides! Why did Uyen have feelings for me?! This will only bring misery… because… she is in love with a character that is not real. I feel happy when Uyen also has feelings for me, but the suffering will soon come.

Uyen forced a smile: “What's wrong? Don't you like it? That's right... the love between two girls is really strange. I'm sorry for my emotional behavior.” I hurriedly shook my head: “No! I'm glad you confessed to me. I love you too!” Uyen flashed a bright smile that made me ecstatic. I said goodbye again and turned to walk away. As I walked, I whispered: “But one day you'll realize that… your decision today was the worst thing you ever did…”

Uyen said loudly: “The CSW Championship is broadcast live on TV! Remember to watch me play!” I said to myself: “Sure! I will always be watching you… but not from a TV.”

I took a bus to go to the hotel in the capital of the country V. After checking into the hotel, I opened my suitcase. Inside was a men's martial arts suit and some other men's clothing, which I hadn't worn in a long time. Immersed in the large bathtub of the hotel, I thought about my time with Uyen. Just a few hours without Uyen, I missed her. But maybe… the next time we meet, we'll be strangers. Since Uyen expressed her feelings, I soon made a decision: I will be the one to end this unreal love!

After getting out of the bath, I dry myself and look at myself in the mirror. I said: “Hello, Mr. Lian Terry, long time no see! If possible, I really don't want to see you again. I am Layla Terry!”
