The white snow starts to fall in the early morning while I'm hiking to the mountain, the path is rough as always because few people come here. I have done this since the first time my mom told me about the mountain and the story of the abandoned Okami temple.
"It's so cold!" I exhaled even though I'm wearing two coats, I never get used to the weather.
I continue walking until I get to the top of the mountain. No matter how many times I come here, I still feel like the first time I came, melancholic.
The mountain covered with the heavy snow makes a beautiful view, I walk to the Okami temple.
The Okami temple has a torii and a footpath that leads to the Okami, the statue of a wolf sitting with pride, the head looking up at the sky.
I stand in front of the statue and putting my hands together.
'I've come today to you, I hope that you won't feel my presence annoying.'
The first time I came here, I told Okami about my life and the person most important to me, Koruro.
From that, I came here every day, no matter what kind of season or how bad the weather is.
I sit on the ground next to Okami and begin to say:
"Okami, I'm happy to be here with you, my mother told me once that you are a wolf that will grant the desires of the people who feel true love for someone, but they can't be together, like me" I said this with a sad smile.
"I know that these feelings are wrong, that I can't love a guy and less my best friend, koruro."
"But how can you give up your love, to someone who you have loved for a long time? He was the first person who taught me what means to love someone."
"Is it fine if I'm selfish for once? Is it too much if I make a wish? Just one wish... I don't ask anything else." I said with a trembling voice.
Standing in front of Okami and put my hands together.
"I wish Koruro could love me."
"Thank you for hearing my wish, Okami."
I walk back home and lying on my bed, I was thinking.
'Will my wish becomes real?'
After that, I was unable to see Koruro again, Koruro went to the capital while I stayed in the town, at that time I thought that it was the best for the two of us never to see each other again.

Okami: Wolf.
Torii: is a traditional japanese gate, it symbolically marks the transition from the mundane to the sacred.
Thanks for all the comments!
I wish that everyone could make honest comments, with this you're helping me grew as a writer.
try not to use black, it doesnt show up very well for those of us who use darkmode. red works well for both themes, a bright but not light blue can work too. typically though its best you just leave it on default which changes colour to suit the theme and only colour sections you want to highlight with a neutral colour
thanks for your suggestion. :)
