"The story behind that? Hello~??", Tighnari ask Kokomi who is smiling like an idiot "KO.KO.MI.!!", he pinching the girl's cheeks.

" Alright, alright! I'll say, I'll talk about it!", Kokomi then compose herself and the three boys leans towards her in excitement, and also very interested with the topic that she soon to be talking about.

Kokomi deeply sigh, " I will warn you, this will take a lot of my energy!" Albedo nodded and Xingqui already too enthusiastic about the story. Tighnari just being Tighnari.

"When I was 17, we went the same highschool. Back then, Haitham, Cyno and I are pretty popular amongst the students and actually the presentative of the school for some weird and important academic that can boost our certificate, that's what they said", Kokomi rolls her eyes and continue.

"Cyno is pretty much carefree person, he doesn't really care about things and Haitham is just there. He just sit, but he always the one who organized things. And I am the brain. I used to be the school disciplinary committee along with those two. By chance, Haitham and Cyno choose Sumeru as our highschool trip, so without hesitation, the Archon of Inazuma agreed. That's how we went to Sumeru. It was a 3 days 4 nights trip", Kokomi again sigh. " Gosh, this is hard to tell this old story"

"Okay, then, we are in the same group. There is one other girl with us, it's Nilou, the same Nilou from the Fine Art Department. So, she told us that Sumeru Highschool are having a Student Fair and at the same time, I known Albedo through Xingqui who is a student there. Both Haitham and Nilou went to the Art Department and Cyno and me went to the Science Department. I went to meet Albedo and Cyno were distracted by a certain feline with attractive ears. All I know, I think that's how Cyno met Tighnari for the first time. He does look pretty much frustrated when Tighnari left the room with a teacher and he were left with Sucrose instead", Kokomi laughs and both Albedo and Tighnari just chuckle.

Xingqui can't help but feel excited. "This is getting good! Come on, keep it going!"

"Before we left Sumeru High, I think both Cyno and Haitham look pretty much frustrated. When I ask Cyno, he said he couldn't talk to an attractive person from the Science Department. He figured that I knew someone from there and ask me to get your number though Albedo. I think I gave him Albedo's number but Albedo didn't give yours to him. Not to mention, Cyno sent a lot of letters every months to me, and I post them straight to Albedo, yet, no response. I don't know the rest of the story, but it is a little bit of a cliffhanger there. I think that's it! The end, period!", Kokomi again, sighed but with a better mood.

"I lost 20 energy points just because of that! Should I use my bubbles to reenergize?", she look towards Xingqui and he just nodded.

"But, that couldn't be the end! Albedo! What about your point of view?", Xingqui already invested with the story, demanding the other details that left out.

"I will tell the truth, but I require peace and quite than inside this room", Albedo said calmly and stood up from his seat. "Chop Chop! Let's go now, are you guys going or not?"

"We're coming!",the other three stands in sync and trying to catch up with Albedo's unusual pace. "Damn, please wait!"

"It's your fault that your legs are too short", he jokes and Kokomi just pouts.

"Geez, I know I am short, but you don't have to tell me shit"

"Thanks for the orders, 4 cups of boba tea and 2 cheese cakes with the side of 2 plate of pancakes. Did I get it right?", the cashier asking Albedo.

"Indeed sir, thanks for your service", he planted a smile and walk back to his seat which is next to Tighnari who is seating next to the windows. Kokomi and Xingqui just staring at Albedo, making him feel a little bit uncomfortable because of the sudden staring.

"Huh? Did I have shit on my face? What with the staring?", he nervously chuckled.

"Maybe, but your face screams 'sus' ", Xingqui assumed and smirks at him.

"Albe-DOOOOOOO! Please tell us about your point of view!", Kokomi demanding answers.

"Yeah, I am pretty much confused too. Why didn't you give me the letters from Cyno? There is a lot of things that you need to explain to me, y'know?", Tighnari tilting his head, looking a little bit irritated with his friend.

"Okay, if that what you are asking, then you will get the answer", he deeply sighed. "Okay, the story starts when I was transferred to Sumeru Highschool. My research was acknowledged by the Grand Sage, so they personally sent me an invite there. Alice sent me there, and guess who, my roommates is Tighnari and Kaveh. Tighnari is a very fascinating person to begin with and Kaveh is pretty much easygoing. Kaveh and Tighnari used to be the sweet lover boys types but one day, Tighnari came back to the dorms with his ruined eyeliner. He requested a 3 days rest and didn't leave the dorm room at all! I adore Tighnari a lot, not only his intelligence but his personality makes me even more attached to him", Albedo smiles towards Tighnari who is already smiling and holding his tears.

"I don't want Tighnari to be upset no more, I don't want him to lock himself away from the world just because it hurt him. It also affected me as well. I already considered both him and Kaveh as family, so it felt off if one went shut down. So that's why I didn't tell Tighnari about Cyno at all. I promised myself that I will tell him about Cyno, but I never thought that he is right there, still waiting for Tighnari. I must admit, it is a little selfish of me to gatekeeping my friend away from people, but I don't want Tighnari to be hurt again. I'm sorry, Nari. I understand if you doesn't want to talk to me again, but I did this for you"

A waiter came to their table and serves the treats. "Thanks for the orders, you people, enjoy yourselves", he left quickly as he arrived.

"So, yeah. That's all from me, and come on, this is my treat. Eat something" he smiles and Kokomi already smiling and giggling. Xingqui just holding his tears and Tighnari hugging Albedo.

"Thanks man, I didn't know you love me that much!", Tighnari happily hugging him.

"No worries, now, please eat something. You don't want to waste them, no?"

"Of course no! Come on guys, eat!", Tighnari joining Kokomi eating the pancakes and Xingqui just staring at Albedo.

"Never thought that you are a protective type, good God!"

"No comment, just eat, child"

"Okay ... Okay..."
