Brad wipes sweat and tears from his eyes.
I pat him on the back it's okay. I forgive you
He turns to look at you, his eyes filled with both gratitude and relief.
Really? You're not mad at me?
i looked at him, concerned Are you okay?
He sighs as he looks up at you, his eyes filled with vulnerability. I...I don't know. I'm sorry for everything I've done to you. I was an ass, and I hurt you in ways I can't take back. He takes a moment to collect himself before continuing, his voice shaky. I guess I just wanted some kind of redemption, to make things right, even if it's just a little bit.
I'm a girl named Yukino. I sit next to him quietly
After a moment of silence, Brad speaks up, his voice hoarse and shaky. "Yukino...can I talk to you for a minute?"
I was silent and just focused on breathing through the steam
Brad glances at you, noticing your silence. He knows he's not going to get an easy answer, but he tries anyway.
Hey... I'm serious. I want to make things right between us.
What's wrong? I ask, looking at him curiously
He sighs before replying, his voice filled with remorse.
I'm sorry, man. I just can't take it anymore. I can't keep living like this. I've done some bad things, and I need to make amends.
I nod silently. I don't know what to say.
Brad sighs deeply as he continues to wipe away the sweat and tears from his face.
"I just... I don't know what to say. I've been such a jerk to you all these years. I feel like such an idiot."
He sighs again, his voice cracking a little.
"I don't blame you if you hate me. I really don't."
I look at him and I'm shocked. I never thought I'd see him cry. The only times I've seen him cry were when he was upset or angry. "Brad..."
He looks at you, his expression filled with shame and remorse. "I... I'm sorry," he whispers, his voice cracking with emotion. He takes a deep breath, trying to regain his composure.
I look at him curiously and gently wipe his tears away "Hey... it's alright. You're safe now."
Brad's heart skips a beat as you gently wipe away his tears, feeling a sense of comfort and relief in your presence. He looks at you with a mix of vulnerability and gratitude. "Thank you... for being here with me." He says, his voice slightly shaky.
she looks at him with confusion on her face are you okay?
He takes a deep breath before answering, still trying to regain his composure.
"Not really. I'm... I'm trying to figure out how to apologize."
He turns to look at you, his expression a mix of remorse and vulnerability.
"I've been a jerk to you for far too long. I know there's no excuse for it, but I want you to know that I'm sorry. Really sorry."
I looked at Brad in confusion as I sat next to him in the sauna. I am PeriwinkleChill or Peps for short. "Hey Brad...are you ok?"
Brad looks up at you, his eyes puffy and red from crying. He takes a deep breath, trying to compose himself. "No, not really," he replies, his voice shaking slightly. "I'm a mess."
I wipe his brow. I don't say anything else. I just listen to him quietly
Brad's voice trembles as he speaks, struggling to find the right words. "I'm sorry... I'm really sorry for everything I put you through. I was a jerk, and I treated you like crap."
I nod gently as I watch him wipe away his tears. I'm not sure what happened, but I feel bad for him...it's okay...take your time...
With his head lowered, he tries to speak but his voice trembles, making it difficult for him to find the right words. "God damn it... I don't know why I'm crying like this... It's embarrassing..."
I look at him, surprised B-Brad? Are you crying?
He looks away, embarrassed by the question.
No... No, I'm not crying. Just sweat.
He glances at you before averting his gaze again.
