"Don't die...please live for me" he cried in front of her for the first time. He isn't a guy to cry this easily but after finding out what kind of messed up life she has been through, he can't help but to shed tears for her.

I heard manager's voice. He entered the kitchen from the backrooms area. "...was that guy your boyfriend?! I thought he's just a costumer! If I knew you guys got a relationship like that I wouldn't give them free food!"
"Mari's just joking boss, he's just a classmate" "Wow, now I'm sure there's something going on Nara! Last time you told me you guys are just friends and now you guys are just classmates!" Himari insisted on torturing me tonight.
"huh..." Jin shakes his head and left the kitchen. "Mariiiiii...are you trying to get me fired!" I groaned with a small voice. "Of course not, baby! I'm just stating the truth"
"What truth?" It was Tsuki this time. "Nothing..." I said and got back to work. "What the fuck is wrong with this pipsqueak!". I heard him ask, but nobody answered him. Everyone just ignored him and got back to work. "Huh! You guys are always mean to me" he said while grunting and pouting.
I finished all my work and got ready to leave. It was fifteen minutes until midnight. "I'm off..." I told the manager and others who was standing in the kitchen. "Have a good night Nara" "Good night Nara"
"I'll kill you next time pipsqueak" was the response I got and Jin asked, "Do you want me to give you a ride home Nara?". "You give her a RIDE?" Tsuki repeated his word with a dramatically annoyed tone.
"...you have never done that for me, even when I broke my leg at work!" "Stop being dramatic Tsuki!" Himari scold him. She's the only person here who can keep him in check, others just ignore him or run away like me. "It's ok boss, I'll take the bus" and I said my goodbyes and walked out from the back door.
A soft breeze hit my face as soon as I came out of the restaurant. The weather was nice but a little chilly. There was a small lightbulb over the back door which illuminate the back alley.
I closed my eyes, took a deep breath as the restaurant's back door closes behind me. I suddenly remember that I have to take the bus! My eyes snapped opened and I start walking towards the exit of that back alley.
As I was looking a few steps in front of me, I heard a familiar voice and that pinned me in my place out of shock. "Your shift's finally ended, hhuh?"
It was Keisuke. He didn't left. He's been here the entire time. All those time after he left the restaurant with his friends. "What are you doing here?" I asked him and I walked slowly closer to him.
He gave me a smile and pointed to his bike with his head and says, "I wanted to give you a ride...". "I could just take the bus though!" "Yeah, but I wanted to ask you something" "What?"
