Next morning she gathered everyone together to announce her decision. "Before I say who I have chosen, I want you to promise me that it won't effect our friendship & not to be mad &/or kill each other because I love one and not the other." Touko said. Everyone agreed. "Ok, I have put lots of heart and thought into this & I have chosen you, N." Touko announced. N looked surprised & glad while Cheren looked shocked & mad. "I'm proud of you, sis." said her brother Hilbert. "You two make such a cute couple" said Bianca. Touko's mom & Pr. Juniper nodded in approval. "Thanks for the support you guys it means a lot to me" said Touko.
Then Touko noticed that Cheren had left. "I'll be right back N, wait for me here." Touko said. "Ok, I will." N replied. "Stupid! Stupid!" Cheren yelled headbutting a tree. "Cheren, there's no need to hurt yourself." Touko said trying to comfort him. "Why not? Wouldn't you rather be with your boyfriend N?" he said with tears in his eyes. "Now Cheren, I know that you're upset, but don't hate yourself. You're a great guy & any girl would be lucky to date you. I'm just not the right girl. I'm sure you'll find her someday. Then she'll be the lucky one." Touko replied. "You really think so?" Cheren asked. "I know so! Just follow your heart not your head." Touko reassured. "Thanks!" said Cheren whipping his tears. "You're welcome. Now let's get back to the party!" Touko said.
When they returned to the party Touko hugged N and kissed him on the cheek. "I missed you." she said. "I missed you too." N said. "Take good care of her, N." Cheren said. "I will Cheren, I will." N said holding Touko in his arms.
