Manager | Oikawa Tooru

.

Tamiko woke up completely exhausted. She was not in the mood for anything, but she had to go to school. Other than fulfilling her responsibility in their animal café, they needed to go grocery shopping later this afternoon for their own club's butler café.

She informed her boys at their group chat that only the third years will do grocery shopping, while the free second years will go and fetch the costumes from the rental shop (which Tamiko had informed the owner beforehand about the costumes they will use and rent for the day). Although the day did go unexpectedly well for her, Tamiko's trust issues were always deeper than the ocean.

And she was right, but it's not what she expected though.

Right after her shift ended, "Tamiko," she was called over by Hanamaki. When they got closer, Hanamaki leans closer to her ear and whispered. "Oikawa wanted to talk about something, we should go."

Tamiko was confused as hell, she can't think of a single reason of why Oikawa would be calling for them at this time of the day, but she followed anyway. Both of them didn't even bother changing into their uniforms and headed straight to the gym.

Just when she got there, she saw familiar faces. Sasaki, Mari, Rei, Matsukawa, Iwaizumi, Oikawa... and Hinako. They were all gathered by the bench, as if they were chilling around.

Somehow, Tamiko's instinct told her that it's not actually a simple matter with her own best friends, Sasaki, and Hinako being here.

Slightly confused and curious, Tamiko simply strides towards them. Her eyes only remained on Oikawa, without even glancing at her friends. "What did you want to talk about, Tooru?" she asks bluntly, while Oikawa was smiling like usual.

But he has no plans of hiding anything from her.

Jerking his thumb towards the expressionless Hinako, he says, "We're going to talk about whether you're going to forgive this bitch for almost getting you killed yesterday or not."

All eyes later turned to Oikawa in surprise, and with just that reaction, Tamiko deduced that they haven't heard everything from Oikawa.

"She what now?" Rei's gaze darkened as she stepped forward to walk towards Hinako, but Mari immediately stopped her along with Matsukawa. Mari herself looked as if she was about to lose herself and attack Hinako, but Iwaizumi held onto her hand. Hanamaki remained silent by himself, as if he expected something this bizarre to make Oikawa do something he's never done before.

On the other hand, Sasaki and Iwaizumi sighs in disbelief.

"Gosh... she turned out worse than I thought," Sasaki mumbled to herself, but everyone heard it well.

"What did she do?" Iwaizumi asks, not letting go of Mari's shaky hand.

However, instead of responding, Oikawa turned to Hinako who look utterly emotionless. "Shouldn't you just start off with telling them what you did yesterday?"

Matsukawa and Hanamaki's expressions showed their displeasure at Oikawa's current attitude. Iwaizumi was the same. He's worse than usual... she already looks as if he threatened her to be here, now he's going to make her confess her own sins with this many people? Iwaizumi thought to himself.

"... I stole her costume, and I messed with her bike, so much that it would've gotten bad if she rode it for more than five minutes."

All of them, aside from Oikawa and Tamiko, were surprised that the girl actually responded to Oikawa's suggestion.

Tamiko herself wasn't surprised anymore, but one thing that slightly caught her off guard was how honest she was with her own faults.

Ahh... Tamiko then glances towards Oikawa, and when Oikawa felt that gaze, he glances back at her and smiles to his eyes. He did something alright, look just how proud and hungry he is for a praise, Tamiko thought to herself and found herself smirking.
