chapter seven -

▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃

MIRACLES DO happen- that's what you thought when Baji called you out of nowhere to meet up with each other. Was it possibly he was starting to get soft? You don't know, you still have small doubts and yet why does it feel like something was missing?

Why though? Shouldn't you feel happy that he was starting to get close with you? It's already been months now and the next few months you both will be in second year highschool- it's not like you're going to be busy and won't have time for you to hang out with Baji.

Your legs takes you to a certain place where the young man told you to come over. Your body shivers from the chilly breeze that decided to pass by your figure- you cuddled yourself, looking for warmth.

The moon covered by clouds and it's faint light that can be seen at a distance as it shines throughout the whole place. Figures that would come and pass by with yours- despite the fact that the sun is out there are still people roaming around the streets.

Why would Baji even ask you out at a time like this though? Wouldn't it be better with the sun out? Walking around at night was a dangerous thing for you to do... yet you still did it.

Just for the man, Baji Keisuke.

"Hey!" You swiftly turned your head to the side only to find Baji riding his Bike. You blinked repeatedly and nibbled on your lower lip.

You didn't expect him to come at your side, riding his bike just like that. Moreover, this isn't the place where you two are supposed to meet.

"Kei-chan," A soft smile plastered on your face as you greeted the man. "Good evening."

Baji shifts his head to the opposite direction and had no reaction whatsoever... but that was from your point of view.

His face was flushed- taking out someone especially at a time like this... it was Chifuyu's idea! Yes, it was him who made Baji do this. This young man is really hopeless towards love isn't he? Someone even has to remind him to make a move while you're there by his side most of the time.

Most of the time... huh...

The young man clears his throat, trying to forget all of these thoughts- throwing it away from outer space. Baji's face had still a tint of blush on it, "Anyways- I was going to get you at your home but your mom told me you already went ahead."

He never said anything about getting you though? You slightly tilted your head to the side with a awkward smile whilst whispering the last part, "Ah... I see... You didn't told me anything..."

"That's why I drove around just to find you," He explains as he lowers his head down. "I found you- And here I am."

Baji... you've never saw this kind of side of him. Keisuke's really a good guy isn't he? You giggled at the thoughts of it and that awkward smile of yours turns into a gentle one.

"So sweet of you, Kei-chan." You whispered just enough for him to hear as you leaned on his face while keeping a distance.

Baji swore his ears were getting warm every second you're making a move. The young man softly pushes you away from his face as he tries to hide his flustered face. You giggled at his actions but you couldn't help but feel another missing piece?

"That's enough- get on. I have a place for you to show." Your continuous giggle slowly faded out when Baji makes eye contact with your eyes. His face looks serious- it wasn't the same a few moments ago.

It felt like... you made him annoyed? You aren't going to lie, it kinda destroyed the mood both you and Baji made for the night. A small guilt made up its way towards your throat. You awkwardly laugh before taking a seat behind him.

"Wrap your arms around me," Baji looks at your blushing face from the side mirror.

You? Wrapping arms around him? This is going to be a first- a first of having contact with a man that you maybe liked. "Yeah... sure," You slowly nodded your head as you wrapped your arms around Baji and letting your head hide at his back.

Innocent hearts wandering around places, one longing to be loved back while the other doesn't seem to realize the comfort that they felt while being together with them. If only they'd understand each other more- who knows what the world could give towards the both of them.

You could hear nothing but the speedy sound of Baji's bike from your ears, your eyes squinted with your hair flowing behind- some even went out to your face. And unconsciously, you tightened the grip you had on Baji, hoping that you wouldn't fall out from his bike.

Such a close distance- this will only happen once. After the day today, everything will be the same afterwards. Why do you need your hopes high?

You could feel Baji lowering the speed of the Bike and you widen your eyes to take a slight glimpse at the area.

It was breathlessly stunning, the reflection of the moon that appears on the lake... it was beautiful. Indeed it took your breath away, everything seems to be at peace.

"Found this place days ago," The young man started. "I don't think no one else but me knows exactly where this is. You're the first person who I showed this place, be grateful."

"You've kept this place hidden all this time?" A brow raised as you placed both of your foot on the ground- taking steps towards the lake.

"Yeah," Baji replies enough for you to hear. The scenery reminded the young man of you, maybe that's why he showed it to you.

Isn't that sweet to hear? Baji really knows how to set up his games right.

You grinned at the thought that this might be your favorite place from a million corners of the earth. Biting your lower lips, you spin around to take a glance at Baji who was standing beside his Bike.

He raised a brow as you waved a arm out in the chilly air, "Kei-chan, Come here!"

The young man lets out a sigh with a smile, inserting both of his hands inside his pockets as he slowly made his way towards you. Both of you, alone in a place where no one knows- it felt magical. A dream come true, maybe.

"Waah," You gapped whilst pointing a finger at the moon- it doesn't seem to be cloudy anymore. "Look at that moon, it looks pretty in this spot!"

Your shoulders bumping into his as he stayed silent, "...."

"C'mon, say something." You crossed both of your brows- Baji was being talkative just moments ago and now he's gone all quiet.

The man beside you sighs once more before looking up to the sky only to be greeted by such a beautiful moon. He was taken back to heaven, "It is..."

Your eyes examine each and every part of Baji's face- how lovely they are and just like the moon, you muttered.

"Very bright and pretty."
