Rindou's POV

"I thought, you're going to knock" I commented from the moment I saw him standing in front of my room.

It seems that I caught him by surprise as he gave me a look of shock without saying anything. I was standing behind him with my hands in my pocket.

I raised an eyebrow when he didn't even make a single move. Do I look like a ghost or something? Did I scare him?

"What? What's wrong?" I asked before taking a step closer.

I just finished having a conversation with Takeomi and when I decided to go back to my room, I saw him standing there as if he's hesitating to knock.

"Since when did you got there?" He asked, a hint of awkwardness can be seen.

"I just came here. I saw you standing so I thought you're going to knock" I replied casually and approached the door to  open it for him.

"Do you need something?"

I tried to remain calm as much as possible even tho the memories of what happened between us earlier still lingering in my head. I don't even know why I keep on trespassing his decisions in his life. When in fact, he didn't even treat me as his friend.

He's always with Mikey and never dare to interact with us or even join us in our little fun of drinking.

And there was me, hopelessly expecting that he will treat me differently just because of the night he join me for a walk

"N-nothing actually" I heard him replied as I entered my room and just flopped my body on my bed.

"Come in" I invited upon seeing him standing at the door.

He didn't spout a word and just stares at me.

It soon draw a confusion on my face. I wonder what's running in his mind to just stare at me and stand there like an idiot?

"Rindou" he called out which makes me sat up without breaking my glance on him.

"What?" I asked and wait for him to walk closer.

The silence between us is somehow intimidating. I can't even read his expression nor guess what is behind those.

Suddenly, he shut the door closed and locked it before taking a step closer.

"Why did you do that?"

"Huh?"

His voice is so deep and cold. It almost seems like he's really thinking about something that bothering him

"The way you keep stealing my drugs and stopping me to overdose myself. Why?"

He asked those words in calm manner. The demeanor I saw for the very first time.

However, I don't know what to response.

Why? I don't know. I don't know what's something in him that pulling me closer even from the moment I first saw him with Mucho back in tenjiku.

"I just feel like it, is it wrong?" I asked which soon result him to clenched his fist.

Did I sounds annoying or sarcastic?
