*I've already warned you
I hugged Shohei from behind, desperately trying to pulled his out. But my tiny body couldn't do anything agaisnt his giant figure. I couldn't move him even for a centimeter. But I kept hugging him, burying my face at his back. My hands intertwined, wrapping around his waist.
"Sho, please. I beg you" I kept on my depicable voice. I knew it was my fault. And I now I tried with my every breath, to not to let Shohei kill Yoshinori.
But he didn't listen to any of my words. He didn't even notice me being after him. He just focus all his angry on the man in front of him.
He mercilessly push my hand away, used all his strength to break off my grip on his waist and turn around. He stared at me intensely.
Without saying a word, Shohei grabbed me by the wrist and started dragging me toward the door. My hand was hurt as hell. He gripped me so tight that I felt like my blood couldn't run to my fingers, because his grip prevented it. I turned around, Yoshinori was dizzily standing up, with his face full of blood.
Shohei pull me through the hall, and headed to the elevator. His silent sent shilver down my spine, resulted in every tremble in my body. He was angry. I made him furious.
"Sho,... I..." I pleaded, trying to talk calmly. But every attempt to speak caused another painful tug in my chest, which made it hard to breathe.
Shohei ignored me completely and pressed the button. We both stood in silence, the elevator doors closing in front of us. I watched as they slowly closed, leaving us inside together, just the two of us.
The air in the elevator seemed so quiet and empty, it almost suffocate me. He still held my hand, gripping it firmly, without giving me any chance to let go. His eyes were locked on the buttons, and he didn't spare me a single glance. A sudden pain hit my heart. Tears fell down my cheeks without my permission. But I refused to make him notice me crying, I wanted this pain to end. I closed my eyes, hoping for something to happen, just something to change our current situation. Nothing happened.
The sound of the elevator stopped. Shohei slowly dragged me to the exit. His pace increased, making my arm muscles strain. He opened the car door , opened the door for me and pushed me inside, quickly closing the door again, and walked over the other side. He took a seat on the driver's seat and drove away, ignoring me as I tried to talk to him.
"Sho, please talk to me. I can't stand being like this" I pleaded. I could hear the tears in my voice, which broke my calm composure.
He didn't respond, didn't even try to give me any attention.
I tried reaching for his knee, hoping that he'll notice but he wouldn't budge.
