You are lost in the middle of a busy crowd.

And you are panicking, hard.

Your gaze desperately shifted left and right, trembling with overwhelming anxiety inside your stomach. Your eyes swirl with dizziness as you started to tear up.

𝘎𝘦𝘵𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘭𝘰𝘴𝘵 𝘪𝘴 𝘶𝘯-𝘤𝘰𝘰𝘭.

𝘊𝘳𝘺𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘪𝘴 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘯 𝘶𝘯-𝘤𝘰𝘰𝘭𝘦𝘳.

𝘚𝘵𝘰𝘱 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵.

Suddenly, someone nudges you gently on the shoulders.

It's Shousuke.

At that moment you felt like you were going to cry as if you found a savior. You swear you almost think that he was Jesus or somehow.

The boy cocked his head to the side, signaling you to follow him which you quickly do so. Then the grumbling sound suddenly shot up, destroying the silence between you two. That's when you realised that you haven't eaten anything yet when you first arrive at the festival.

You squeak lightly as your face burns with different shades of red.

Shousuke just stares at you then starts walking again. But you, who are rotten with humiliation on the inside out didn't notice his absence yet.

And then he walks back with yakisoba noodles on a plate, place neatly in his hand, and a water bottle in the other. The delicious smell of the freshly cooked yakisoba kicked you hard in the nose which make your stomach grumble even more.

Shousuke leads you to one of the unoccupied benches and hands you the plate before sitting down next to you- still keeping the distance as usual.

You look at the food in front of you for a solid thirty seconds and look back at him, debating whether or not you should ask him to eat with you whilst there's only one plate of yakisoba to satisfy only one hunger.

To your surprise, he seems to notice your indecisive stares and answers with a monotone yet smooth voice.

"I'm not hungry"

You simply nod at him and start digging in the tasty yakisoba.

While eating, you glance around the area where you and Shousuke are at. They are some of the benches that are occupied by
families, groups of friends, and some lovely Dovey couple. The orange and yellow light of the lantern that hangs around the festival illuminated the surrounding, making everything looks warm and bright.

Even though both of you are quite far from the crowd, it isn't that quiet. Nevertheless, it isn't that loud either.

But the silence that hangs around in the warm air makes you feel uneasy.

You began to wonder if Shousuke could hear how fast your heart is thumping against your rib cage, or notice how sweaty your palms are. Or worse than that, how your ears and face are burning with some odd feelings that swirl inside your stomach mixed with the humiliation of the incident that just happened a few minutes ago.

You can only wish that the light from the lantern will cover the facts that your face is boiling like a cooked lobster.

Nearly finished with your yakisoba, Shousuke suddenly mumble In the most hushed voice ever.

The sudden voice from the boy beside you make you almost drop the plates before hastily turning to face him, still holding a chopstick filled with noodles in another hand.

Both you and Shousuke just stare at each other for a few seconds as you shift in your seat nervously before breaking the eye contact first as always. A few minutes pass, yet he still doesn't utter anything.

So you glance back at him again but this time instead of you avoiding the eye contact, he is the one who does it. Shousuke seems like he has something to say, but still debating whether he should say it or not.

The silence became more and more overbearing for you that you decided to quickly finish your food and walk off to throw it in the trash can. When you made your way back, Shousuke hand you the water bottle that is already open, ready to drink without hurting your palm to open the cap.

ᵗʰᵃᵗˢ ᵛᵉʳʸ ᵏⁱⁿᵈ ᵒᶠ ʰⁱᵐ, ʸᵒᵘ ᵐᵘˢᵗ ˢᵃʸ.

Brushing away some strands of hair off your face, you silently sip on the cold and refreshing water.

"𝙔𝙤𝙪 𝙡𝙤𝙤𝙠 𝙜𝙤𝙤𝙙 𝙩𝙤𝙙𝙖𝙮"

You choke on your water.
