Emi-chan,

I'm sorry... 🥲

I didn't mean to cause you any more stress outside of classes! Trust me, that wasn't my intention at all with my sudden confession 😖.

But, I was being honest! 😭

I do really, really like you! 🥺❤️

I know we haven't known each other for that long, but I really want to know more about you and talk to you more.

Please reply back if you wanna! 😉

Sukai's POV
Deeply exhaling, I rested my chin upon my arm, allowing my hand to dangle down the front side of my desk. Grasping my phone, I checked my email one more time, debating on whether I should just delete it and hope that my friend/crush Emiri didn't end up actually reading such a cringey piece of crap.

"Ugh, Kinjo Sukai, what are you thinking?" I whispered to myself, turning off my phone. I should be studying for that darn Astronomy quiz by now, but it is nearly 12 AM and I just can't bring myself to stop worrying about what I had said to Emi-chan aboard the bus just the other day. "Well, anyways... I can't take it back now..." Gently, I patted my cheeks and went back to studying. "Ah! It's useless! I just can't get Emiri out of my head!"

"Sukai-kun~"

Not again! This can't be happening! She followed me all the way here?!

It was my stalker. Well, not really my stalker in a sense. There she is! Kanada Miki, my twin sister Aoi's  annoying best friend, who has since developed a huge crush on me and won't leave me alone. Miki was clinging to the tree outside my window for dear life. I saw her mouth the words, "Open the window!" at me. Reluctantly, I opened my bedroom window and let her into my room. Probably the worst thing I could ever do in my life, but I felt bad since I didn't want her to die from hypothermia... Maybe.

"Sukai-kun! Here!" Excitedly, Miki handed me a small box. "It's not much, but Aoi-chan told me you liked it so umm- Happy birthday!" Miki clenched at her skirt, blushing like mad.

Oh geez! Not her trying to make an impression on me!

Silently, I opened the tiny present. My face filled with shock as I unraveled the wrapping paper. It was a sterling silver necklace with an infinity logo on it. I've always wanted it but it comes in...

Awww man! Does she-?!

"Look! Look! I have a matching one!" Miki flipped a section of her long hair back and showed off the matching necklace. Rolling my eyes at her, I really wanted her to leave but didn't want to tell her that directly.

"Miki-chan..." I began as I stood up abruptly. "Aren't your parents worried about you? You should go home!"  I was starting to sweat a little out of nervousness.

"Ah, Sukai-kun? Did you forget that I live alone?" Miki asked me in reply. "I only live with my pet dog Juni..." Here, Miki pinned her side bangs up with a hair clip and slowly tried reaching for my hand.

"Wh-What the hell do you think you're doing?" I snapped, quickly pushing her hand away. I covered my face. Was I blushing? What the hell? Just because she looks different with her bangs pushed out of her face like that?

"Sukai-kun? Are you alright?" Miki looked at me intently, drawing her face closer to my own. "Wait, do you have a fever?" Gently, she placed her hand against my forehead. "You are a bit warm..."

"Leave me alone!" Rapidly, I pushed her away and ran down the staircase, grabbed my coat and a pair of shoes, and ran out the front door.

I ran, ran to the nearby Ueno Park. Panting, I sat upon a swing and glimpsed over at the small lake in the distance. It's at times like these where I just sit down to think. I still had the small box and infinity necklace in my pocket. Was I being rude?

Regretting what I had just done, I decided to give Miki a call. When she answered, she told me it was fine and that she wasn't hurt at all. But, even so, I pictured her wiping tears away minutes before I phoned her.

I must be stupid.

Emiri's POV
Thunk!

Glimpsing up at the sky, I felt my whole world start to get shaky. I grasped onto air. I thought I was holding my book for a quick second, but that's when I realized that I was laying on the ground. I was somehow in pain, an oozing red liquid at the side of my head.

"Emi-chan!" I heard a voice yell. My eyes were beginning to close. I was about to yell out in pain. "Hold on!" I heard the unfamiliar male say. He grabbed his phone and began to dial a number.

But, before I could tell who it was, I blacked out.

Junki's POV
An hour earlier. Junki decides to ask Takumi where Emiri lives and gets her address from him. He stumbles upon Emiri who had experienced another one of her migraines. She drops her book as she stumbles down the staircase. Trying to grasp the handrail, Emiri slips and falls down the stairs. Hurriedly, Junki runs over to her and tells her to hold on.

"Hello!" I yelled into my phone. "Please hurry! My friend fell down the stairs! Please hurry up and help! Please!"

"We're doing our best to head over there, Sir! Please calm down! We're trying our best to get there but due to the intense fog in your area, we might be running late," the 119 operator replied.

No! I'm not willing to lose Emiri! Not again!

Abruptly, I hung up. Gingerly, I placed Emiri into my arms and ran. I ran all the way to Blue Heart Hospital and into the emergency room. "Please, anyone! Please help us!" Emiri was still bleeding. Thankfully, a doctor came. They told me that I had to stand back as they were going to try and handle everything.

"Sir, don't worry! Now, calm down and sit!" the doctor ordered. "Please, Sir! Please don't cause a scene!" The doctor pushed me down into a nearby chair, as I had refused to stay calm. Nervously, I drank the cup of water a hospital staff offered me as the doctor hurriedly left the room.

Please!

Emi-chan, hold on!
