Chapter 6

"Good morning, Haru. The usual?" You asked the guy in front of you.

"Yes. Also, are you free this weekend?" Sanzu asked.

"I -"

"Yes, she's free this weekend. Take her on a date." Mayu butted in as you were about to answer.

"Eh? But I have a shift on weekend?" Confusion is clearly written on your face as you titled your head asking your coworker.

"I'll cover for you." Mayu said winking.

You faced the man who is currently waiting for your answer.

"Well, I guess I am free now." You chuckled.

"Good. Do you want to go somewhere specific?"

"Hmm, I just want somewhere peaceful and quiet." You answered.

"Alright. I think I might know a place." Sanzu smiled at you.

You do not know if it is the effect of the coffee you drank earlier that morning but your heart skipped a beat when he smiled at you.

"H-here's your coffee." You silently scolded yourself for stuttering.

"Thanks. I'm looking forward on our little date."

Sanzu left you astounded with his words.

"Date?" You whispered at yourself, a hint of blush visible on your cheeks. Mayu is laughing at your reaction, the latter is not used in seeing you in such shock.

Sanzu left the cafe smiling to himself. He really is looking forward on your little date, even thou he asked you to go out with him is because of one thing. Squeeze some information about you.

He kinda felt bad about asking you out because he needs to. That's why he made a note on his head that he will surely ask you out once again, no missions involved that time.

He drove to Rindou's place, he needs to clear his mind with all the pressure and stress he has been with ever since the mission about you started.

"Hey, what brings you here?" Rindou asked the male as he entered.

"I just want to ask you about something." Sanzu replied.

"Go on." The man with a mullet hair said.

"If you were her, what would you feel if you'll know that I was just using you for some information?" The man with the pink locks asked Rindou, intently staring at him.

"By her, you mean Y/N, right?"

Sanzu nodded as a response.

"Well, in all honesty, I'd feel like shit. Like, man you used me for your own benefit. I'd hate you forever. That is what I will feel like IF I WERE HER." Rindou emphasized the last words making Sanzu confused.

"You see." Rindou continued, "Y/N is such a nice person. Too good to be true kind of nice. If you'll explain her everything, I'm sure she'll understand."

Sanzu nodded, listening to the older male.

"Have you told her who you are? I mean, she's really clueless about you. I bet she doesn't know that you are part of a gang." Rindou explained.

A sudden realization hit Sanzu. How would you feel if you'd know that he is a part of a gang. Knowing that someone from a gang killed your beloved mom.

"I don't know how I would tell her that I am from Bonten." Sanzu told Rindou honestly.

"Well, why don't you take it slow? Start by asking what if's." Rindou suggested

"I will surely sound like a Highschool girl who talks to her crush." Sanzu is irritated by the suggestion of the latter.

"That's the point." Rindou exclaimed and started laughing at the annoyed expression of him.

"Such a pain in the ass." Sanzu said whilst leaning in the couch. "Where's Ran by the way?"

"Oh, he went somewhere. He said he needed to unwind. He probably is with some random girl right now." Rindou said while scrolling through his phone.

"Do you really like Y/N?" Sanzu blurted out of the blue, curious if the other guy really likes you.

Rindou was completely shocked from the question but let out a soft chuckle after. "Well, at first I do liked her. But then, I came to realize that she is just too good for me. But for you, she may be the right one. You'll make a great duo, you're the devil and she's the angel." Rindou snickered.

Sanzu hummed as a response as he stared at the ceiling.

Does he really like you or is he just curious about you? Does he deserve you? Is he just attracted to the thought of falling in love or is he really in love with you? These are the thoughts that he has been thinking for a while now.

~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~

The night has come and Sanzu went to the meeting place he set up with Hanma.

"What took you so long?" Sanzu asked as the guy whom he has been waiting for arrived.

"Just needed to do some rat extermination." Hanma said slyly.

Sanzu is never comfortable with the guy as he tried to kill the King before. However, since he is already part pf Bonten, he needed to be nice with Hanma as it is Mikey's order.

"You wanna know about my plan?" Hanma grinned.

"Yes. Now tell me." Sanzu ordered him.

Sanzu clearly opposes the plan that Hanma came up with. However, the cunning man has already proposed it to Mikey and it was approved. He cannot disobey Mikey, after all he is his King.

The plan will be executed once they have gathered all the information needed about you.

Sanzu does not know what he should do about it.

"Fucking hell." Sanzu muttered as he snorted some of the white powder substance that he neatly lined up using his black card.

"What should I do? I don't want to lose you, but I cannot defy my King." Is all he can say as tears started to run down his cheeks.

If anyone will see him in this state, they would think that he is some psycho person as he is maniacally laughing while there is tears that is streaming down his face.

"What a cruel fate, huh."
