Shinichiro and I stayed here, just talking and laughing about each story he has to tell me. He told me exactly how he got rejected that many times. I can't believe he actually did got rejected 20 times, that's a lot. I'm glad I met him, like I know how glad he is that he met me too, because now he won't be rejected.

We're still situated on the sofa. Shinichiro got comfortable and laid his head on my lap, I don't mind actually, I like looking at him from this point of view. My left hand is on his chest, his two hands playing with it. He's busy talking about the 15th girl that rejected him, Mika.

"For the nth time, she also rejected me because she likes one of my friends instead of me." He said nodding his head like he's so used to it already.

"And who is it this time?" I asked him. The names that are mostly mentioned are his three closest friends and that just sucks a lot.

"Oh, it's a close junior of mine, Kyo-chan." He answered. Well now, that's a new name. I just nod my head, wondering who might that be.

"And then up next is Asuka-chan." He started. I just watched his face while he reminisce about what happened. "Me and the others originally eat at their ramen shop since it's really homey, the food also tastes good and!" He paused and then shifted on my lap to look at me with this really excited expression on.

"Asuka-chan's father used to be a delinquent too!"

"Woah." Was the only thing that left my lips. That father of hers that I saw before was a delinquent too? But he looked so kind and meek! That's cool.

"He told us stories about the first bosozokus, his seniors, and how they started. It was really cool and his stories really inspired me." He continued, going back to comfortably lay on my lap.

The way he smiles and the way his eyes sparkle with joy and pride just shows how much it all meant to him. At first, when I found out that Takeomi decided to become a delinquent, I really wanted to stop him. Growing up with him, I already know how he always goes out and cause trouble, so it wasn't a surprise to me that he wanted to be a member of a biker gang. I wanted to stop him because I know his grandma and mother will not be pleased if they find out, also because I always thought of bad things when I hear the word delinquent.

Though now, after meeting Shinichiro, after hearing his stories and after knowing him, it all changed. It all started when I saw him blush when our eyes met. I was really surprised to see a delinquent act like that. I always thought delinquents are scary and only cares about hurting other people. But as I continue to spend more time with him, I'm starting to see the beautiful side of their world. No wonder he loves being a delinquent so much.
