The Renga Project

Langa

Me and Reki were in our room watching a movie when someone knocks at our door

Reki: I'll get it

Reki: Cherry? Are you ok?

Cherry: Can I stay here tonight

Reki: Yeah sure.

Langa: What happened?

Cherry starts to tear up more than he already was

Langa: I can switch rooms with you if you want and I can talk talk to Joe

Reki: Are you sure Langa?

Langa: Yeah, you stay here with Cherry

I grab a few things and head to Joe's room. I knock on the door to see if he's here. He opens the door

Joe: Kaoru are you- Oh it's you

Langa: Sorry to be disappointing

Joe: Sorry I thought you were Kaoru

Langa: Me and him switched rooms he's with Reki right now

Joe: Shit

Langa: What happened?

Joe: I'm not sure if I can tell you

Langa: Go ahead tell me

Joe: Me and Kaoru aren't dating, we just said that because he had a plan to bring you and Reki together. After one night me and Kaoru became sleeping buddies

Langa: Whose idea was that?

Joe: Mine

Langa: Ok continues

Joe: The last time we slept together he had this face and I wanted to ask him about it. And when I confronted him today, I said something I shouldn't have

Langa: What did you say

Joe: I said that he was desperate like every woman I've slept with.

Langa: That's messed up

Joe: I KNOW I just don't know what to do now

Langa: Why did it bother you so much

Joe: What do you mean

Langa: You said you were sleeping buddies, why would it matter if he was like the others. If you didn't like that you could've ended things

Joe: You're not wrong

Langa: How did you become sleeping buddies

Joe: We were drinking and talking and he brought up Mr Usui and then I dragged him to our room where it happened

Langa: So you barely became sleeping buddies a few days ago

Joe: Yes and

Langa: And you did it because you were jealous

Joe: Me jealous , why?

Langa: Is it possible you have feelings for Cherry

Joe: No what makes you say that

Langa: You got jealous over him, you clearly care more about him in comparison to your other hookups, and you're sleeping buddies. And you decided it was not him.

Joe: That's too far fetched

Langa: But I'm probably right

Joe: No I can't

Langa: What if I told you that before I came here a man walked in after Cherry trying to comfort him and he was touchy and hugging him

Joe: That bastard better take his arms off Kaoru

Langa: What I just said was a lie

Joe: I think you proved a point

Langa: Do you like him

Joe: Yes

Langa: Go apologize

Joe: I can't do that now

Langa: Why not

Joe: I'm not sure what to say

Langa: Apologize and say that you did it because you like him or something like that

Joe: I don't know

Langa: Think about it today but do it tomorrow. You have like two days

Joe: I will

And with that Joe and Langa spent the rest of the afternoon decided what to do the next time he saw Kaoru
