HE'S MINE

085

It's been two days and things were pretty good with Sanzu, we all had started to talk to Mikey, who had changed into a dead man walking. We all have been trying to hang out with him to understand him, but for me, it was more than that. I couldn't wrap my mind around the fact that my parents died of an accident, that Mr. Grandpa died of an accident. I wasn't ready to forgive Shinichiro, and if he really had a hand in my parents death, I was going to destroy him.

“Hey!”my roommate shyly greeted me as he entered the room. I shifted thereafter that night of out conversation in the cafe. This guy was cool, Smiley: a not so talkative but always smiling boy. The good thing about him was that he would mind his own business and not gossip about things.

He jumped in his bed and put the laptop in his lap, I received a call from Mikey and without thinking too much, I walked out of the room to the balcony. It was suspicious that Mikey didn't acknowledge why all of us has become so sweet to him, maybe he thought we were being nice because of Mr. Grandpa's death.

“Hey,”i whispered into the phone, hugging myself when the cold breeze played with my skin. The view from here was beautiful, but sadly we were on the top of the hill, so going out was scary at night.

“Hiw are you?” his voice was calm, he hadn't been hanging out with Baji, obviously after the leaked pictures and videos of Baji and his twin. Baji's twin was sent away by the services, it was also made public that she was never his sister.

“i am good, how are you doing?” I asked, knowing I have to gain his trust in order to make him realize his brother is not really doing right by him.

“i am fine,” he took a pause, “thanks to you guys,”, he added with a sigh. I was about to speak when he continued, “It is weird how I managed to make so many enemies when all this time I thought I was doing the right thing. The fact that you guys are still with me, makes me even more guilty.” he sounded pain, was he really unfolding the reality of his actions, was he really understanding that he was very mean and even rude to everyone around him? “Y/n!” he called my name when he found me absent. “i am sorry for that day, I don't know what happened, it was like I fel---,” he halted when someone opened the room to his door and joined him.

“Why are you up this late?” I recognized the owner of the voice to be Shinichiro, he had this annoying voice.

“Nothing, just not sleepy.” he lied, he didn't tell him that he was on the call with me, “do you need anything?” he asked very politely.

“No, I was just wondering about your health, you haven't had dinner so I bought you a glass of milk,” he mumbled, I wonder if he really cares for him or it is just an act. The way he was controlling him made me think he can't share his brother with anyone, his love for his brother is poisoning his mind.

“Thanks, but I really don't feel like drinking this right now.” like any adult, he didn't like milk too, but Shinichiro's obsession with a glass of milk has made us all hate it even more. I remember being tortured by that glass day in day out.

“You can't say no to this, it is important.” he annoyingly murmured like a stubborn person, he was wrong for treating him like a child.

“Not milk, I will grab a sandwich,” he stated and hoped for his to leave, but the next thing he did give me the creeps.

“Oh yeah, of course, I am a person who is alone now, my grandpa is gone and my siblings don't even care for me. Obviously, I am a stupid perosn trying to control you guys, I am so stupid--,” he began sobbing, with a glass of milk to this emotional speech, he went really far with it.

“i didn't mean it like that, of course, I will do that for you.” his voice has turned nervous, I waited for another few minutes and once he was done he Left.
