"W-what?"

He did what? To who? Kisaki killed Hina?

"Chifuyu!" Takemichi gasped.

I looked at both of them, clearly not understanding a single shit. But Hina isn't dead....

"Chifuyu, Takemichi. What the fuck are you saying?" I glared at them. The boys exchanged glances.

"I-I was just kidding!" Chifuyu rubbed the back of his head, nervously chuckling.

"You're lying. First, you wouldn't joke about it. Second, Takemichi looks shocked, which means you revealed something you shouldn't have. Third, Kisaki is involved. Now mind explaining?" I said deadpanned.

Hanagaki sighed and told me the whole story, including me and Chifuyu dying in front of him.

"No way... Is it why you came to me that day and teared up, murmuring that i'm alive?" He nodded.

I was quite shocked by the whole time leap story but i knew he wasn't lying. Sometimes he seems too desperate.

"Whatever... call me when you decide on teaming up!" I waved them goodbye and left.

Thankfully, i reached my apartment without getting stabbed, kidnapped or killed. I noticed that my front door was opened. Did i forget to close it? Wait, what if someone robbed me?

I tightened the grip on my purse and went in, getting ready to hit the wrecker in his head. As i entered the living room, someone grabbed my hand from behind and i hit his head as planned.

"Ow, what's that for?" Mikey pouted.

I gasped in surprise, "Mikey! Fuck! What are you doing here?" I touched his head. "Does it hurt?"

He shook his head. "Am i not allowed to see my girlfriend?" He leaned closer but immediately pulled away, staring at my neck.

"What... happened to your neck?"

I looked at myself in the mirror and saw the purple bruises from that sus guy.

"Wait, i was going to ask you about the messages... Who was following you?"

I opened my mouth to say something but i didn't know where to start from.

"I went out for a walk and some guy started following me from the convenience store! I texted everyone and ran to the cafe where Toman members were. I almost opened the door but the guy dragged me out of there and started choking me... But thankfully i escaped his grip..." I decided to not mention Kisaki and Hanma.

"Do you know who that would be?" He asked, looking into my eyes.

"I don't know-" My eyes widened, as i remembered something,

"Mikey, i hit him with my bottle and left a huge bruise on the face! I can recognize him! We can go find him, while his bruise is still a bruise. What do you think about it?"

He crossed his arms. "I can do it by myself. It's too dangerous for you... I don't want you to get hurt because of me!"

I could hear the sadness and guilt in his voice. He really felt guilty for me getting hurt. He knew that gangs will try to attack me more often, just to get closer to Mikey himself.

"I'm not hurt because of you. I'm only hurt because i can't defend myself. I will go to your grandpa's tomorrow!" I cheered.

He faked a smile and nodded. What's with the smile?

"What shall we do now?" I asked, breaking the silence. He turned off the lights, grabbed my arm and pulled to his chest,

"Time for us. I missed you."
