20 - The Longest Walk (Ending)

✌️😁

_________

While you were getting ready for your walk, Mitsuya talks with some of the critics that had recognized him. They appeared to be talking casually so you knew Mitsuya was on their good side so you didn't have to worry.

The event is going to start in two hours but everyone was already so busy in preparing the models and artists who were going to perform on the runway. Everything felt surreal. You didn't know you could actually make it this far in the industry.

You were missing Ichigo and so you decided to call Sanzu after thinking about it for a minute. International calls were expensive but you figured you could spend that much just this one time.

The call wasn't going through which was odd since it's either he doesn't have signal or he blocked you. The two were not likely to happen.

Just then, someone emails you and you almost dismissed it thinking it was just spam but you saw Senju's name on it so you opened it and waited for the attachments to load.

You raised an eyebrow and read the short letter she sent first while waiting for the attachment to fully show.

My brother is innocent. I have proof. He just found out about this too. Please don't let it end this way. I know you and I know how much you love him.

You were confused but once you saw the attachment, you realized what it was about. The video started a few seconds before Ran put something in Sanzu's drink. It was a relief that the footage was clear and so you could make out everyone you knew in the video.

Once you understood what had truly happened, you felt sick to your stomach. To think that you trusted the Haitani Brothers just because they've been your friends since you were kids.

What's more sickening is that Rindou had plenty of time, plenty of chances to tell you the whole truth. He could have told you the night you asked him the question but he didn't. He chose to make you feel like a fool. You were a fool. But Sanzu is the real victim.

Senju, I'm trying to contact your brother but my calls won't go through. Are you with him right now? Can I please talk to him?

You sent the email and anxiously waited for a reply. Though you were not done with your makeup yet, you asked the makeup artist for a break and got water to cool yourself down.

Mitsuya noticed you were looking stressed and so he excused himself from the critics and walked over to you.

"What's wrong? Are you nauseous? Is your stomach hurting? Are you on your period?" He asks in concern.

"Takashi, I made a huge mistake....I made a terrible mistake...." You mutter as you fanned yourself with your hands. "I should have asked him, I should have trusted him."

"What are you talking about? Who are you talking about?" Mitsuya replies, confused since you haven't told him what happened.

You began to narrate everything and Mitsuya listened patiently. Even as the makeup artist told you to sit back down again, you continue to speak about everything.

"I feel so bad...I judged him and he turned out to be a victim..." You say, feeling your chest tighten.

"He'll understand...it's gonna be okay." Mitsuya spoke calmly, holding your hand in his while rubbing his thumbs against the back of your hand to comfort you. "You were tricked. It's not your fault."
