Yuta

And when did you start smoking?
*The guy asks, looking at you with his charming, gray eyes like molten silver

You knew each other since college, you were studying to be a doctor, Yuta was studying to be a journalist, you were best friends, spending all your free time together, they say that friendship between a man and a woman does not exist, no matter how funny it sounds, but it is true, you fell in love with Yuta, and when you were ready to reveal your feelings to him, he invited you to a restaurant and introduced you to his fiancée, and invited you to their wedding. You smiled without answering, took the invitation and went home, the next evening you got on a plane and flew to another country, Yuta stood at the airport looking at the sky, at the departing plane, clenching his hands into fists, you did not even suspect that he did it on purpose to protect you, so that you would be alive and well, Yuta loved you no less than you loved him, but now was not the time.
Ten years have passed, today you had a difficult operation, you went outside, cursing at the terrible weather, it had been raining for three days already, you took out your cigarettes and remembered that you had left your lighter in the doctor's office, an umbrella suddenly appeared above you, recent, raindrops to wet you, a lighter clicked near your face, and you heard a voice that you would not mistake for anything in the world
