MY SOLACE | Kokonoi Hajime

08

"You weren't-" Me and Rindo was walking towards his brother's office. It was lunch time that's why almost all of the employees are not here. I stopped on my tracks when I saw Reine standing in front of Ran's office, a paperbag in hand but when  a certain noise...she dropped the paperbag containing a lunchbox. It spilled on the floor.

My jaw dropped when I realized what was happening inside Ran's office. Rindo marched towards Reine and I followed him. "Reine!" Rin called her but she seems so shocked. "That bastard..." Rindo mumbled. I'm not dumb, I know that Ran is fucking other women. I nearly punched him for that.

"Reine!" I called her and she snapped. She crouched down to gather the spilled lunchbox.

"I'm sorry." She says, her voice shaky. She run out of the scene in a hurry.

"You motherfucker! Open the door!" Rindo banged the double doors. The noises stopped and after a solid minute, Ran opened the door with his clothes messy.

"What the fuck, Ran?! What is wrong with you?!" I grabbed his collar and glared at the employee who was standing a few meters away from us. "You're fired!" I yelled at her and Ran doesn't seem to care. The girl yelped and runaway, crying. Good.

"Let go of me, Koko." Ran says swatting my hands away. Rindo clicked his tongue and shook his head before walking away.

"You...when will you stop?" I asked him, eyes narrowing as I stared at his blank face.

He didn't answer me. And for a minute I saw how vulnerable he was. The thing is...Ran loves Reine so much that it scares him. He says 'to protect' her. But, on what can I see in his eyes, he's holding himself back because he's afraid of the person he will become.

"You better fix this. Just let her go if you're that..." I can't utter the words I want to say. I don't want to offend him bit being blunt sometimes helps. "Just...get ready for the next mission." I said before walking away from him.

I was supposed to go to the meeting with him but I think he need some time to collect himself. I pulled out my phone from my pocket and texted Seishu.

To: Seishu

Did you receive the gift?

He replied instantly.

From: Seishu

This is the fifth time this week, Hajime. You can't always give me gifts!

I smirked formed on my lips when I read his message.

To: Seishu

Call me that again and I will be at your bed tonight ;)

I can't help but reply the scenarios that happened that night. He didn't reply and it took him a whole ass hour to send his message.

Seishu sent you a voice message. My brows raised. Hmm? What did he do? I looked around the conference room suspiciously. I'm early that's why I'm still alone in here. I opened our conversation and played the voice message.

"Please, daddy."

I choked. My whole body burning as his voice replayed inside my mind again and again. His voice was husky, sultry and he's clearly teasing me! I groaned in frustration and slammed the folder on the table before sitting on of the swivel chairs.
