You sit in front of your vanity table as you stare down at the Grey jacket given to you last night by a random person from the cinema.


You smelled the fragrance of the jacket, thinking if it would be possible to know the owner's gender by the smell of the perfume.


'It smells manly.'  You thought.


That person was bigger than you based on the size of the jacket. And so you considered the person as a guy.


Despite being so curious about the guy, after washing the jacket, you decided to keep it inside your closet in case you see him again. 


While cleaning your cabinet, your phone buzzed lots of times. Heart leaping in excitement as you expect it's from Koko.  


And your smile grew wider as you saw his name on your notifications. 


Koko 

I'm bored 

let's get dinner. 

invite Akane with us.

7 pm at the Ramen Resto near our school


"Oh my god! he's asking me to dinner!" you jumped with glee. You didn't mind having dinner with him and Akane. Your heartwarming up imagining having dinner with your best friend and long-time crush. What could be better than two of your favorite people getting along well together? 


Still smiling in excitement, you dialed Akane's number to invite her to have dinner with you and Koko. 


A few rings after, she picked up the phone. 


"Hi, Y/N chan!" 


"Akane-chan! are you busy? Let's grab dinner with koko!" 


"Oh... I'd love to Y/N chan but I'm running errands for my club. You know, it's school festival in a few weeks and we're assigned to make a booth for the club. Sadly, I was assigned to buy the materials for it." she said with a sad voice.


"bummer! but do you need help? i could lend you a hand," you offered


"No no.. just go and have that dinner with him. Hmm?" 


"Alright! Take care Akane-Chan!"


"You too! Enjoy your dinner with koko-kun. Love you." 


"Love you too!" You said and then hang up. 


You informed Koko that Akane wouldn't make it to the dinner but he wasn't replying to your messages yet so you have decided to just prepare for the dinner. 


It took you almost 3 hours preparing for the dinner. Spending half the time choosing what to wear. 


'It's just dinner, why am I putting so much effort?' you snickered while staring at yourself in front of the mirror. Nonetheless, you felt very confident and pretty in the dress you chose to wear. 


At 6:30 pm, you already arrived at the Resto Koko had said. He saw your last message informing him of Akane's absence but he did not reply. 


At 7 pm, you were sitting quietly in one of the chairs at the restaurant, still smiling with anticipation. After years of being friends with Koko since you were kids, this is your first time eating out alone with him. And it was sending you serotonin all over your body, hoping time would fly fast until he arrives, then stop when finally having dinner. 


30 minutes had passed after the meeting time, he still hadn't arrived yet. You wanted to ask him for his whereabouts but you didn't want to seem excited and demanding so you kept waiting in silence.


An hour passed, and the waiters have been asking you If you were going to order but you kept declining and saying you were waiting for your friend to arrive. 


two hours while waiting, you were starting to get bored but worried at the same time, you couldn't help but send him a message. 


Koko, Where are you? 


It's already 10 pm but he hasn't arrived yet. You were growing impatient but thought that maybe he has an emergency to attend to, the reason why he was late. However, you couldn't avoid the resto staff from kicking you out because you were holding the table for so long. 


Outside the resto, you still stood up, looking here and then to see if he was already there. Still hoping you'd have dinner with him. 


The wind started blowing hard which made you shiver but still endured. You tried to text him again but your phone battery ran out from playing with it while waiting. 


11 pm when you have decided to run in the rain to go home. Soul crashed and heartbroken as you finally accepted that Koko ditched the dinner he had invited you to. You wanted to be mad, but still, a part of your heart wanted to listen to his reasons. 


Soaking wet because of the rain, you stared at your now wet mud and rainwater dress. It was one of your favorites and seeing it in such a state broke your heart more. While trying to open the house door with your keys, you saw a taxi stop in front of Akane's house right next to yours. 


A man holding an umbrella stepped out of the taxi from the back seat. And your heart broke once more when you saw Koko guiding Akane carefully with an umbrella while carrying a lot of paper bags in her hands. 


At that moment, you saw how your vision blurred with tears, on the verge of crying, you entered your house and shut your door before they had the chance to see you. 


As soon as you shut the door, tears started streaming down your face, the scene from earlier replaying in your head. 



Koko asking you out to dinner and then ditching you to spend time and help Akane out.
